HDMI Connectivity Because HD Modulators cannot use video from HDCP sources, the ability to broadcast HDMI video depends on the nature of the video source, PC operating system, and interfaces used to make the connection. Windows 7/8 Digital Signage Players You can feed you Win 7/8 PC or player’s HDMI directly to our HDMI inputs. Windows (unlike Apple) does not turn on HDCP when showing non-proprietary content.
Rack Mounting Three options are available for rack-mounting QMOD modulators RK2EZ Dual Rack Kit with Tie Bar Mounting QMOD enclosures have a slot in the bottom middle of the case. This will accept a tie bar that will lock the two enclosures together without taking the cases apart. Do not mount the QCA9-33 or QDA4-45 units next to QMODs, as the units will block flow-through fan ventilation. 1. 2. 3. 4. Check that your enclosures have the tie bar slot.
