The PVI MICROMOD VeCoax is a high-definition (HD) RF modulator designed to distribute HD or standard-definition (SD) video content to any digital cable television via existing coaxial antenna cables. This device allows you to convert various video inputs into a digital RF signal, making it accessible on multiple televisions throughout a building without the need for additional set-top boxes per TV.

It supports selectable inputs including Component, Composite, and HDMI Digital, accommodating resolutions up to 1080p to ensure high-quality image distribution. The output can be set to any channel number and injected directly into your coaxial splitter, allowing it to coexist with your current normal channels. Multiple MICROMOD units can be installed to distribute as many channels as required.

  1. Видео булагын туташтыруу: Connect your video source (e.g., set-top box, DVD player, computer) to the MICROMOD using an HDMI, Component, or Composite cable. For DVI video from computers, connect separate RCA audio cables to the left/right audio inputs. For HDMI connections, audio is taken digitally from the HDMI cable.

  4. Күйгүзүү: Connect the AC power adapter to the MICROMOD and plug it into an electrical outlet. The device is fanless and silent, allowing for flexible placement.
  5. Tune Television: On your television(s), perform a channel scan to detect the new digital channel broadcast by the MICROMOD. The modulated channel will appear alongside your existing channels.
