Contemporary Research 4 QMOD-HD Integration
Source Integration
HD Component Source
The most common application for QMOD technology is to distribute the output of an HD satellite
receiver or cable box.
 Connect the Component YPbPr video between the two units, then either TosLink optical,
coax digital or stereo audio outputs to the QMOD.
 Set the receiver to 720p or 1080i (or SD 480p)
 Configure the QMOD inputs using the Setup, Arrow, and Select buttons on the front – the
LCD text will display the various menus and options
o
Select the Component (YPbPr) input
o
Select the Audio input
o
Select the resolution to match the output of the source
o Select the planned channel for the RF system (2-1 to 135-1)
 Connect the RF Out to a nearby display, tune to the selected channel to preview
 As an option, you can use a BNC to HD15 VGA cable to provide a locking connection
between QMOD and BNC Component sources. The RGB pins on the QMOD HD15 input are
cross-wired to the YPbPr inputs –just connect and set QMOD to
 The same applied to scalers that can output YPbPr on their HD15 output – use a VGA cable
to YPbPr
AV Video Source
The QMOD can also handle SD video on the S-Video or composite video input at 480i. For S-Video,
use the Video input for the Y, the blue Pb input for C.
Connect the source to the Video and Audio inputs, and update the QMOD settings. You don’t need
to change the Video Format – Video and S-Video are fixed at 480i.
