ZvPro 280 ®
Combination HD MPEG2 Encoder/QAM Modulator
VGA and HD Video Distribution Breakthrough Price and Simplicity Create your own HDTV cable channel and broadcast VGA or HD video using coax wiring.
“Too good to be true!” “Everything works as promised. I was very skeptical to start with, and was happily surprised.” “Are you guys for real?”“I am quite happy to find the ZV box, and it works as well or better than I could ever hope… I haven’t been this excited by something for a long time.”
Private Cable Operators can now affordably upgrade their MATV systems to HD. Shown is HD satellite content being distributed on-premise.
Convert your HD or VGA source into an HDTV channel for broadcast over coax to an unlimited number of displays
What makes this so revolutionary? Based on the same technology used by TV stations and cable companies, ZvPro 280 makes it affordable to convert your VGA or HD video into an HDTV channel and broadcast it over simple to use COAX wiring to every on-premise HDTV. Its standard QAM cable channel output can be received by practically any off-the-shelf digital cable-ready HDTV without requiring an additional box at the TV. • Works with any VGA or HD video source – simply connect any Digital Signage Player, Computer, DVD player, Satellite Receiver, Set Top Box or any other device with a VGA or Component HD video output. • Multiple channels – ZvPros are frequency agile, and can be combined to distribute up to 135 HD channels on-premise, all on a single, easy to deploy COAX cable. • No matrix switchers or proprietary wiring required – switching between different content sources is as easy as tuning to a different channel at the HDTV. • COAX wiring – easily integrate and balance into new or existing MATV/SMATV RF distribution systems to add an HD tier of video feeds. • Built to last – steel enclosure, rack mounting, integral power supply, internal fan, and three year warranty.

Shattering the Cost Barrier Digital TV broadcasting is a very powerful way to share HD video. Unfortunately, the cost of creating each channel can be well over $20,000. The ZeeVee founders felt that if they could drive the price to under $1,000, they could revolutionize how VGA and HD video is distributed in a building. A cost reduction this significant does not come easily. You start from scratch and completely re-engineer every single item in the system. Millions of dollars and several years of stealth R&D later, ZeeVee introduced a consumer product for the home. It sent VGA video from any computer over existing coax to every HDTV… and retailed for $499. Immediately, savvy commercial systems integrators asked for a heavy-duty version, and the race was on. The new ZvPro line is a more powerful version of the consumer product, but still shares the same low-cost roots. ZeeVee owns and controls all of this technology, and intends to continue to expand their value advantage.
Digital signage revolution: 3 players drive unique content simultaneously to unlimited displays for $0 per display.

Zv’s Top Ten Revelations
“We were able to distribute our HD signal for the Billboard Latin Music Awards from the production truck throughout the venue and backstage in HD using coax!” said Telemundo’s Mike Siegelman. “The pictures were excellent. We were very pleased with the product.”
1) Coaxial wiring can carry 135 unique HD channels *simultaneously* 2) Each of your video sources will become a unique channel 3) Use off-the-shelf HDTVs without needing anything additional at each TV • J ust tune in the channel that you want 4) Serve an unlimited number of TVs with the same technology the cable company uses to light up an entire city 5) Merge your channel onto an existing cable lineup – share the resource 6) To add your new channel • C onnect your video source to a ZvPro 280 • C onnect the output of the ZvPro to a “Combiner” • C onnect the other leg of the “Combiner” to the existing cable • A “Combiner” is just a $5 splitter used backwards! 7) To add a TV • C ut the coax near the new TV • A dd a $5 splitter and a piece of coax • Y ou’re done 8) Coax cable is inexpensive - about 6 cents per foot • C oax wiring is often already in place, making it… free 9) Coax installation requires simple tools, and no special skills •H ome-run wiring is not required, significantly simplifies deployment 10) For big systems, a $50 off-the-shelf cable amplifier will boost the signal of all channels, to every display.
