Product Overview
Blonder Tongue's DSE24A digital signage encoder with closed captioning encodes uncompressed HDMI, high-res component, VGA, or composite input signals into MPEG-2 compressed video for a QAM output.
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.
The small desktop unit can also be rack mounted in a single 19" RU using an optional rackmount panel (sold separately).
