HD Content Protection

For High-Definition solutions that require copy protection, the COM51 receiver blades add Pro:Idiom™ or Pro:Idiom Mobile™ encryption to the HD content, which can be played back on any Pro:Idiom™ or Pro:Idiom Mobile™ enabled receiver device or television.

Integrated Edge QAM

Available as a plug-in module for the COM400, the QAM20 reduces overall system costs and simplifies the installation and maintenance for the COM3000. The QAM20, sold as a 16-channel QAM, and can be software upgraded to a 48 channel QAM device two channels at a time, capable of delivering all 138* streams of DIRECTV™ HD content as well as additional local sourced content.

*Three DIRECTV streams per QAM are possible on a properly balanced system—please ask your distributor or Technicolor for more information.

As your installation grows, Mediatune can support it with no limit to the number of destinations available.

Simple Interface

Imagine the entire DIRECTV content lineup, all the desired external sources, and all your output zones manageable on one simple webpage.
