About: Contemporary Research 232-ATSC 4K HDTV Tuner w/ Power Supply & Rack Mount Kit
The 232-ATSC 4K HDTV Tuner, our 5th-generation ATSC HDTV tuner, adds new capabilities to the industry-standard 232-ATSC series. New features include decoding H.264 programs up to 1080p, output scaling up to 4K, and IPTV output stream. The tuner is fully compatible with RS-232 control commands for previous models.
The integrator-friendly HDTV tuner is controllable via 2-way RS-232, IP Telnet and UDP, as well as wireless and wired IR commands. Onboard web pages enable remote configuration, control, and monitoring from a web browser.
A full-featured, commercial grade HDTV tuner, the 232-ATSC 4K can receive both analog and digital MPEG-2/H.264 channels, in ATSC, NTSC, and clear QAM formats. Using an optional RF-AB switch, the tuner can switch between separate antenna and cable feeds.
