ATSC+SDI HDTV Tuner + SDI

The ATSC+SDI is the first HDTV Tuner that features an
onboard HD-SDI port. A professional HDTV tuner, the
ATSC+SDI is controllable via RS-232, IP, and IR commands.
An onboard Web page enables remote Web control. A new
menu-driven display simplifies setup, and a front-panel USB
port makes firmware updates a snap. The new compact
enclosure allows mounting of two tuners in a single rack
space.

The integral HD-SDI output allows inclusion of 708/608 cap­tioning, choice of AES stereo or AC-3 audio, and scaled out­put set to a constant 1080i, 720p, or 480i resolution.

A universal TV tuner, the ATSC+SDI can receive both analog
and digital channels, in ATSC, NTSC, and clear QAM for­mats. Using an optional RF switcher, the tuner can switch
between Antenna and Cable feeds.
