The YUV2QAM is a dual-channel, high definition
MPEG 2 broadcast distribution encoder with QAM
modulation and RF up-conversion built in. Its pri­mary application is for use with clear QAM distribu­tion to ATSC televisions. The YUV2QAM automati­cally detects video and audio, encodes, multiplexes
and generates program information (PSIP); it then
modulates and up-converts two channels for distrib­ution via coax. Closed captioning and support for
Emergency Alert (EAS) are standard. Applications
include private cable, hospitality, medical, education
and cable television.

Benefits

• 2-Channel high definition encoding: The
YUV2QAM automatically detects two channels of

video and audio via RCA input, encodes and multi­plexes the signal into a multiple program transport
stream with either DVB or ATSC table compliance.

• Automatic video detection: Video rates are auto­matically adjusted based on RCA video input resolu­tion, audio passthrough or encode and QAM modula­tion target.

• QAM modulation and RF up-conversion: For cable
television applications, the unit modulates the signal
using QAM Annex A and B and up-converts two
video and audio services multiplexed on one carrier
frequency for distribution via coax networks.

• ASI and GigE output: For non-RF applications,
theYUV2QAM delivers ASI (75 Ohm source per
EN500083-9) and GigE (MPEG2 or optional RTP
multicast transport egress).

• Program information: The YUV2QAM is compliant
with the ATSC A69 Program and System Information
Protocol (PSIP).

• Closed captioning and EAS: Support for closed
captioning and Emergency Alert (EAS) is standard.

• DVB SI: The YUV2QAM is compliant with ETSI
EN300 468 Service Information specification.

• Flexible configuration & control: Controlling and
configuring the YUV2QAM is easy using the integrat­ed front panel keypad and LCD and web page for
configuration and monitoring.
