ZeeVee HDb3000 Composite Media Module Blade

The HDb3000 Composite Media Module Blade is an SD encoder built for the HDbridge3000 chassis, taking in up to six composite video sources with paired analog stereo audio and converting them to RF for distribution over an existing coax plant. Inputs connect via 3.5mm jacks and ZeeVee's CAVC6 breakout cables, sold separately.

Output is configurable as QAM 256/64 (ITU-T J83 Annex B) for North American systems or DVB-T/DVB-C (ITU-T J83 Annex A) for international deployments, packing up to six digital channels onto 2 QAM or 3 DVB-T/C RF frequencies. Each channel encodes at an average 18 Mb/s with programmable 200-400ms latency, and the blade passes closed captions from its composite inputs. It requires the HDb3000 chassis, sold separately, and does not include ZvShow.
