Provide High Definition Television over CAT-6, CAT-7, or Cable UTP
HD GigaBUD (Video Hub)
The 54 MHz to 860 MHz “HD GigaBUD” video hub provides distrib­ution of 134 NTSC analog channels or hundreds of digital channels including 1080 (i&p)High De finition channels over a structured Categorycable system. The hub splits, ampli es,slopes and recom­bines RF broadband signals. It also provides cascading capability for connecting to other hubs in a star topology, and bi-directional capability providing remote/reverse broadcasts from all drops. The “R-Series” hubs provide return channel capability on channels T7-T13 and channels 2-6.
The “HD GigaBUDs” with their intelligent “HD GigaBOBs” are self­adjusting providing an overall plug-and-play distribution system. A 240 MHz pilot tone is controlled by Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuits and serves as a reference signal to guarantee the consis­tency and level of output from each hub. The “HD GigaBOB” on the receive end of the horizontal Category cable also adjusts the signal levels to each TV according to their distance from the video hub.
The “HD GigaBOB”/balun is one of the basic components of Z-Band’s high de nition video distribution system. It is located at the receive end of the system and permits a TV, Set Top Box/Cable Box or PC with a Tuner Card to be connected to the system for HDTV over CAT 5e or better cable. The balun is not only an impedance matching device, but serves also as a small self-adjusting amplifi er and signal conditioner that senses its distance from the hub, and adjusts its output to assure proper signal level to the TV at distances up to 100 meters. The input to the “HD GigaBOB” from a wall outlet is connected via a RJ-45 Jack and its output features an F­Connector and an auxiliary RJ-45 Jack for IP applications.
