232-ATSC 4 HDTV Tuner

 

Overview 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new 232-ATSC 4 HDTV Tuner, our 4th-generation ATSC HDTV tuner, adds new capabilities to the 
industry-standard 232-ATSC series. New features include tuning MPEG-4 programs, up to 1080p output, and 
more efficient operation. The new tuner is fully compatible with control commands for previous models.  
 
The integrator-friendly HDTV tuner is controllable with 2-way RS-232 and IP Telnet, as well as wireless and 
wired IR commands. An onboard Web page enables remote Web control. A new menu-driven display 
simplifies setup, and a front-panel USB port makes firmware updates a snap. The new compact enclosure 
allows mounting of two tuners in a single rack space.  
 
A universal TV tuner, the 232-ATSC 4 can receive both analog and digital  MPEG-2/MPEG-4 channels, in 
ATSC, NTSC, and clear QAM formats.  Using an optional RF switcher, the tuner can switch between antenna 
and cable feeds.
