Headend Technology
Broadcast grade, high
performance MPEG4 HD
Encoder Modulator (8...24
HDMI to RF output).
The HDM-94xy C/T series
products are BLANKOM's
new breakthrough all-in-
one device, which integrate
encoding (SD/HD MPEG-
4/AVC H.264) and
modulating to convert
HDMI signals into
DVB-C/DVB-T/ATSC-T/ISDB-
Tb RF output.
The HDM-94xyC/T HD
encoder modulator is a
professional high
integration device which
includes encoding,
multiplexing and
modulating.
It supports 8...24 HDMI
inputs, ASI and maximum
128 IP input through the
GBE port. It modulates
DVB-C RF out with 8 (T) or
12(C) non-adjacent
carriers.
The modulator type can be
chosen from factory by
ordering C or T version
(Or even A = ATSC or I =
ISDB-T)

    HDM-9400-C or T DVB-C MODULATOR SETTINGS FIRST: But, first of all you should adjust your output QAM-Channels to your Coax network: It is per default on 64QAM which has a lower bitrate capacity than 256QAM and we should select the start frequency (according to CENELEC or modern networks with 8MHz distances ( DVB-C AnnexB - ITU83B is US Norm and has only 6MHz bandwidth)): Here I swapped to 306 as the first center frequency.
