News Summary:

On March 13, 2026, Thor Broadcast introduced an HDMI to RF modulation system, designed to centralize set-top boxes and deliver 24 to 60 TV channels over existing coax infrastructure for facilities like hotels, healthcare centers, campuses, and residential complexes. Earlier the same day, the company highlighted a solution for remote ATSC transmitter distribution over IP, which enables broadcasters to deliver up to four subchannels from a central headend to multiple remote TV transmitter sites. On March 11, Thor Broadcast detailed an industrial CCTV system operating over multimode fiber, aimed at industrial environments where cameras are hundreds of feet from monitoring locations, leveraging existing fiber infrastructure instead of running new coax cables. This followed a March 10 case study demonstrating HDMI video distribution over IP between multiple buildings using IPTV encoders and decoders, addressing the need for reliable, low-latency, and high-quality video feeds across distances impractical for traditional HDMI cables. Previously, on March 6, Thor Broadcast described its channel HDMI IPTV encoders, which allow media monitoring organizations to capture, encode, and deliver multiple TV and broadcast content streams over an IP network for recording, compliance, and content analysis.

RF vs IPTV for Gym Equipment Displays

Fitness centers, health clubs, and training facilities often distribute live television channels to cardio machines, treadmills, ellipticals, and wall-mounted displays. In many installations, the original system was built around cable-provider set-top boxes feeding RF modulators, creating in-house television channels that each machine can tune.

How to Convert UDP IPTV Streams into 32 or 64 QAM RF Channels

Why protocol matters RTSP and SRT usually require a separate decode stage before RF modulation. UDP streams, by contrast, can go directly into an IPTV-to-QAM gateway, which simplifies the system and reduces the number of devices.
