Here are some of the key features of the Mediatune:

  • Configurable from 2 x 12 to 24 x 24 switched matrix system
  • Original DIRECTV™ broadcast quality content delivered over QAM distribution
  • Pro:Idiom™ protected video to ensure copy protection
  • Simple to install, easy to manage, less than half the size and cost of a traditional switched matrix video system using stacked receivers
Compact Form Factor
The COM1000 oers up to 24 HD tuners with up to 24 digital
QAM outputs in only 4 units of rack space. This compact design
also results in dramatic power savings from the typical stacked
receiver and matrix switch solutions.
Pro:Idiom™ Copy Protection
For High-Definition distribution over coaxial cable, copy protec-
tion is required. The COM24 HD receiver blade adds Pro:Idiom™
encryption to the HD content which can be played back on any
Pro:Idiom™ enabled television or Technicolor’s DCI401MCS security
terminator device with HDMI output to the television.
Integrated EdgeQAM
Digital QAM distribution enables simple wiring to the televisions
from the headend system. Rather than homerun component,
HDMI or CAT5 using Balun’s, RF coaxial cable can be installed in a
loop-through manner by simply using taps and splitters to distribute
the HD signal to each TV.
Remote Management
Both the COM24 DIRECTV™ receiver card and the QAM modula-
tor can be controlled using Internet Protocol commands, so any
device able to browse the internet can access and manage the entire
video system. The COM24 receiver includes a web server based
control interface much like that of a router home networking device
making this simple to use and flexible enough to be controlled by a
PC, Tablet, iPhone or iPad.
MEDIATUNE
Technicolor, world-wide leader in video technologies, presents Mediatune, a revolutionary video management system
based on the COM1000 DIRECTV™ satellite headend solution to serve the Bar and Restaurant commercial market.

MEDIATUNE Components
Mediatune presents a fundamental shift in how you might typically
think about controlling a video distribution system. RF distribution
systems provide a fixed channel line-up allowing each TV to tune
through channels. In a Mediatune configuration, each TV is set to
a fixed QAM channel and the source is switched
The control interface then allows you to search through the entire
DIRECTV™ channel package to select the desired programming,
and then place that programming on the desired TV to watch.
You can watch the same content on all the TVs, or depending on
how many tuners are in the system, each TV can have its own
tuner allowing each TV to watch a dierent source channel.
