Get Going Guide
HDbridge modules are HD MPEG-2 Encoders
and frequency-agile QAM Modulators. They
allow you to convert any component HD video
source, in real-time and very high quality into
an HDTV cable channel. This channel is placed
onto standard coax wiring, where it can be
combined with up to 134 other HDTV channels
and distributed over an entire premise.
Modules are deployed in the HDbridge Rack
Chassis, where they are provided power and
an RF port into which they broadcast.
This guide will take you through setting up an
individual module. For additional assistance
or more complex installations, please refer to

where you will nd answers to frequently asked
questions and helpful tips from ZeeVee experts.
