Sync Control System 41
Modulators
Modulators are used to assign a “TV channel” to a video source. Since each source will be assigned
a unique “channel”, the number of modulators present in the system is determined by the number of
video sources to be displayed on the monitors.
Modulators are available for both standard denition (SD) and high denition (HD) video sources. The
SD modulator can handle resolutions up to 480i. This type of modulator is typically used for sources
that only provide composite video. Two HD modulators are available. The Enhanced Denition
modulator allows for component video sources and can be used for sources with resolutions up to 720p
as well as VGA sources. All modulators come pre-adjusted and pre-congured for specic channel
outputs. Refer to the gures titled HD Modulator, ED Modulator, and SD Modulator.
HD Modulator
The High Denition modulator is the most versatile of the 3 modulators. It can handle component video
sources with video resolutions of 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p and accept the associated audio
in either a digital or analog format. It can also handle VGA resolutions up to 1920 x 1080. The HD
modulator is factory congured to a specic channel and adjusted for optimum output. Refer to the
gure titled HD Modulator.

HD Modulator
The functions of the components and connectors on the HD modulator are:
(1) Coax Output - Coax cable output for channel encoded audio/video signal.
(2) Component Video Input - Input connections for the component video signal originating from
a video source such as a DVD player or HD cable box.
(3) VGA (RGB) - Input connections for standard VGA signal originating from a video source such
as a computer or digital signage player.
(4) USB Connector - Connection for a computer used for advanced conguration of the
modulator.
