Applications
Excellent RF Coax Demodulator For CATV, Satellite & CCTV Systems
This is a perfect coax de modulator for those TVs or desktop monitors without coaxial inputs or broken coax terminals. It also works for other RF coaxial sources such as satellite receivers, CCTV surveillance camera system and so on.
After connecting your coax cable into this de modulator and doing the one-time configuration using a VGA display, this RF de modulator will convert modulated RF coax signals or analog cable TV signals into RCA composite video and audio signals for output to any TV, DVR, video recorder, video monitor and so on through the composite RCA terminals. Excellent add-on device for your VCR, DVD player if they do not have tuner inside.
The converted RCA video and audio signals from coax CATV input can also be used for working with video recorders, media servers, A/V receivers or wireless transmitter.
The RF input of this coax to RCA de modulator can also be used for those satellite receivers with modulated TV2 out from DirecTV, Dish Network and FTA satellite for NTSC regions.
Please check the user manual of your satellite receiver first and make sure that the coax output from your satellite set top box can be tuned to channel 3 or channel 4 or other TV channel on a regular TV or contact your satellite TV provider for verification.
Converting From Interlaced Video To Progressive Scan VGA
With the built-in scan line doubler and the special 3D-Motion Adaptive De-Interlacing technology, you can enjoy the sharp image and high-resolution digital display on your big screen TV, home theater projector or computer monitor.
The built-in video processor implements a special scan doubling technique to optimize the conversion process and outputs in progressive scan video formats. The use of extra interlaced fields reduces flicker without reducing resolution and helps minimize jagged edges on angled lines for big screen display and delivers great video clarity and sharpness better than the regular TV sets when using your monitor or  projector for display.
