Distribute four sources / channels HD video up to 1080p resolution to an unlimited number of displays over almost any distance. The HDbridge 2640 series converts component or VGA sources into a RF signal that is sent to a HDTV display's QAM digital tuner over coax cable -just like a traditional cable box. With its high 45 dBmv RF output, you can send your content to an unlimited number of displays over nearly any distance. You can change sources on any display simply by changing the channel on the display - virtually eliminating the need for a traditional AV matrix switcher. This solution is ideal for anyone looking for an easy and affordable way to support a large number of displays such as a sports bar, house of worship, or digital signage. Multiple HDbridge units can be combined to create a headend that will support over 100 channels on your video network at each display. The HDbridge enables quick setup through a LAN network using the Maestro software to customize your sources and channels, as well as a front LCD panel to directly control and monitor the unit. This unit is designed especially for high channel density environments where rapid deployment, advanced management and compatibility are critical. Used in some of the most famous ballparks in the world, this is an ideal solution for environments where you have a large number of displays, such as stadiums, entertainment facilities, or broadcast environments.
Up to 1080P Resolution with Closed Captioning
The HDbridge2640 can distribute video in nearly any resolution from a VGA or Component source ranging from 640x480 all the way to 1920x1080.
The encoder will also support EIA/CEA-608 closed captions via the composite video input, ideal for sports bars with multiple displays.
Unlimited Displays over any distance using coax cable
Using the HDbridge, there is no limit to the number of displays that you can use. The HDbridge converts your component or VGA video sources into a private television channels that can send content from 2 to 2000+ displays connected through coax over nearly any distance. You can combine HDbridge units to support over 100 different channels on your network.
