Channel Vision Announces Next Generation Modulation for Digital Cable
Patent Pending Solution Enables Modulation on Digital Cable Without Filters LONG BEACH, Calif., Nov. 15, 2006 - Electronic House Expo - Channel Vision, a leading provider of technology for the Well Connected Home, today unveiled the Affinity Digital Cable Combiner, the next generation solution to modulating on digital cable systems.
Channel Vision will showcase the Affinity Digital Cable Combiner (P-0321), their patent pending innovation to modulated video distribution over digital cable. Affinity enables the easy connection and modulation of multiple video sources distributed to a TV without the use of filters. Offering IR remote-based source switching, Affinity opens multiple channels for viewing or distributing DVD, satellite, surveillance camera feeds and other video sources. Affinity creates a future-proof solution that eliminates digital cable interference and the need for related callbacks.
The Affinity allows installers to integrate modulated signals into a digital cable system without the need for RF filters. This allows several modulated channels to be integrated with a full digital cable feed without requiring digital channel programming to be lost. The system offers a built-in IR repeating system for simple push button selection between cable channels and modulated channels such as those for surveillance cameras, DVRs and DVD players.
Affinity solves a common installation problem on digital cable that requires installers to determine what existing digital channel frequencies get filtered out in order to allow both digital and modulated channels to coexist on the same system. This process can be time consuming and confusing for the installer, while requiring customers to lose digital cable channels. Affinity eliminates the need for installers to make subsequent service calls to update channel filters each time the cable company changes their line up.
Affinity includes everything needed to create a complete one-room system. The main unit is designed for easy installation and mounts directly into a structured wiring enclosure or into the Channel Vision Hinged Rack Plate, the P-1300, which enables mounting in a 19-inch rack. Additional accessories include an IR Coax Adaptor (IR-4100), IR-Receiver (IR-2400), power supply and remote control.
By utilizing Affinity’s included accessories, it creates an IR remote control repeating system that works over existing coax cable. In addition to sending control IR signals to the Affinity, this IR repeating systems can be used to control other entertainment devices such as DVD players or media servers.
