Getting Started with HDbridge

RF Rules Apply

Treat the HDbridge system the same way as any other RF system. Each modulator (or "module") outputs a QAM
signal that works with off-the shelf RF tools, equipment, and materials.

Each module requires a full RF channel.

Each display must have a QAM tuner.

RF power output from each module must be balanced with existing modulators/feeds.

Standard calculations for distance and power apply.
Rack Chassis – RK1 or RK2
HDbridge modules mount into the HDb Rack Chassis for easy installation. For more flexibility, there are two Rack
Chassis to choose from:
RK1

