Blonder Tongue Adds New HDE-8C-QAM MPEG2 Video Encoder

131024---BT---HDE-8C-QAM-Rear-1113Blonder Tongue Labs announced this week it’s shipping its new encoder that sends HD video over IP for less than $850 USD per channel. The HDE-8C-QAM MPEG-2 HD supports DolbyDigital audio encoding and accepts programs from eight component or composite inputs, such as satellite receivers and cable set-top boxes. It also offers the built-in ability to switch over any of the primary inputs for a spare input for uninterrupted service. The HDE-8C-QAM HD encodes MPEG-2 video up to 1080i, multiplexes and modulates the eight-input programs into four adjacent clear QAM channels. The encoder’s clean QAM constellation and superior output allow for high channel count head-end deployments. The encoder features an accessible RF test point for monitoring and testing without service interruption.
