Industry Leader in Broadband Integration HDTV Tuning & Control over COAX
2
Founded by Scott Hetzler in 1994, CR began with a vision for creating solutions that easily integrate with leading control systems such as AMX, Crestron, and other control systems. Prior to founding CR, Scott was the leading designer for many award-winning AMX control products. Today's CR remains tightly focused on creating solutions for systems integrators, with a core team of well-known control industry experts.

Why RF? Why integrate HD media and control over coax? Because it’s there – Re-use and Recycle Earn LEED/STEP Innovation Points for control of displays What about new construction? Cost - RF is a cost-effective HD content delivery system Bandwidth – 5 times greater than IP Distance – measured in miles, not feet Simplicity – No hubs, Cat 5 receivers, transmitters or HD video router – just wire, all core components at one central Head End Reliability – CR coax control systems in place for over 16 years

Actual Installation – Energy Savings The Contemporary Research ICE-HE controls 48 of the common area ETV monitors across the campus. Originally these monitors were left on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week consuming 79,500 kW hours of energy annually. With the new control system the monitors are powered only during the working day using a standard 9/80 work schedule This results in saving 55,215 kW hours of energy a year and extending the life of the displays by approximately 52% The system communicates over the same CATV cable that transports the multimedia channels and can be used to control the receiver’s power, channel, and volume. Multiple zones have been created including cafeterias, break rooms, hallway monitors that could be controlled separately.

Distribution - Bandwidth Ethernet 1 Gbps bandwidth over copper. Bandwidth for media shared with other IP resources, potentially bogging down the network 1 Gbps 5.2 Gbps IP RF Digital RF Coax 5.2 Gbps bandwidth for 135 HDTV cable channels (38.3 Mbps x 135) Each channel can carry two full HDTV (19.4 Mbps) channels or mix of HD/SD channels Media distribution not shared with data applications New Construction? Run both for structured wiring. Deliver the best of both, and balance content delivery to suit the application. Digital TV is IPTV., just without the mess. (

Originate Channels Create a mix of in-house cable channels from sat/cable boxes, digital signage players, HD-SDI studio feeds, IPTV, off-air tuners, and other media sources. Combine into a facility-wide RF feed.

Digital Signage - IP IP digital signage is addition Each display needs a player But what if all players are showing the same message?
22
Digital Signage - RF RF digital signage is multiplication One player feeds an HDTV channel TVs simply tune in Scaler Modulator HD Signage Channel
