➢ The COM51 receiver cards are controlled and managed via an Ethernet connection within the
COM400 chassis.
o The COM51 card includes a built-in web interface and can be configured using a web
browser.
o To view high definition video from the COM3000 a TV or set top box equipped with
Pro:Idiom decryption technology must be used.
o Standard definition channels may be distributed in-the-clear.
3.1 Additional Features
In addition to high quality AT&T / DIRECTV programming, the COM3000 system offers
additional powerful features:
➢ Optional Mediatune software upgrade offers switched matrix control capabilities for public space
environments.
➢ Internal “home screen” channels can be configured to stream static image message screens direct
from the COM3000 system. No additional equipment required.
➢ Vid Play utilizes a free program developed by Technicolor that will stream a MPEG2 transport
stream file from a low-cost PC (not provided) to the Technicolor QAM20 modulator for locally
originated video programming.
➢ External content sources such as outboard transcoders and video encoders can be streamed to the
Technicolor QAM20 Modulator.
➢ An electronic program guide that is fully customizable to system channel lineup and local
programming. PSIP data will pass to televisions and “map” the channels without intervention. (PSIP
interpretation is TV dependent, not all TVs respond to PSIP in the same manner. Test the TVs
before installing.
➢ Guide.XML works in conjunction with Technicolor set back boxes to provide an interactive program
guide.
➢ Interfaces with Emergency Alert Systems (EAS). Capable of sending locally originated streams to all
video channels for site specific emergency broadcast. (Only available on systems utilizing the
Technicolor QAM20 modulator).
➢ Low power consumption. Typically, a fully loaded chassis draws <300 watts.
