ZeeVee says its new HDBridge 2920 encoder and modulator improves integrators ability to send high definition serial digital interface (HD-SDI) sources over coaxial cable.
The HDBridge 2920 can send that 1080 resolution video to an unlimited number of HD displays.

Also Dolby Digital Audio compatibility, ZeeVee says HDBridge 2920 offers mission critical reliability for video distribution in broadcast studios, security rooms and large venue applications.
It has full MPEG2 implementation and low latency and shares a unified architecture with other HDbridge 2000-series products.
More from ZeeVee’s press release:
“Broadcast-quality HD-SDI video can now be deployed faster over coaxial infrastructure,” said Bob Michaels, CEO of ZeeVee. “We want commercial installers to have the flexibility to add more channels and a wider gamut of input options for video encoding with our HDbridge 2000-series solutions. Our new 2920 model is made in America and is the latest in a series of solutions working towards our vision of accessible and affordable video distribution.”
The ease of configuration and management is possible from a single point thanks to ZeeVee’s acclaimed Maestro browser-based software interface, which automatically recognizes all ZeeVee products in the head-end. The new product utilizes Maestro to configure the encoding and modulation of the HD-SDI sources along with all other ZeeVee generated video sources to distribute the full continuum of data streams over the same coaxial wire.
The HDbridge 2920 is equipped with front to rear cooling for effective thermal control in demanding applications. To help installers stay running continuously, all ZeeVee HDbridge products utilize a common under-stressed, high-reliability power system.
The HDbridge 2920, like all of ZeeVee’s HDbridge products, features simple on-site setup and status monitoring utilizing a color front-panel display. Compatible with other popular ZeeVee technology, the new product also supports an Emergency Alert System (EAS) channel, closed-captioning support, as well as an information channel for use with small video loops.
