The two-channel QMOD-YPB2 continues the QMOD track record for quality and innovation, setting a new benchmark for features and performance, converting two HD Component sources into one HD RF channel. Inputs include dual sets of HD Component, Composite/CC, stereo and coax audio inputs. Hardware scalers allow use of 60 Hz 1080i/720p sources. Outputs as digital QAM cable and IPTV stream. Onboard Web pages allow remote setup, control and monitoring.
Sources:
Two Component inputs; 1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i
