Product Overview
Blonder Tongue's dual HD digital signage encoder DSE 2 Plus encodes non-HDCP HDMI, high-res component, VGA, or composite input signals into MPEG-2 or MPEG-4/H.264 compressed video for a single multiplexed QAM output.
The DSE 2 Plus can encode up to two programs simultaneously. Existing legacy fiber/coaxial networks can be used as distribution channels for digital signage content yielding instant access for your digital displays to show HD advertising or informational content.
Blonder-Tongue DSE-2-PLUS Applications:
- Digital conversion
- Digital signage
- PEG channel insertion
Blonder-Tongue DSE-2-PLUS Features:
