Modulus 5000 HiDef Transmitter

[TerryWest]

I have the Modulus 5000 HiDef Transmitter in my shop now. Got it today. I want to test it this weekend.

First impressions: Seems to work well. It is a bit larger. Been running a couple hours and gets warm, but not hot. I need to put it on a Steadicam with a Red camera or some other HD camera to test it properly.

I am supplying (in lieu of a real HD signal) an up-converted Composite video to HD and the modulus picks it up pretty well. Still handles Composite video. They got rid of the dual channel switches to a push button type of channel selection. It handles NTSC and PAL.

I am not sure of the pricing yet, but it should be around $2500.

But I want to give a good test first.

Terry, what do you have in mind for a rx?

I am receiving it at the moment on a Mod Quad with a Sony Tuner. I do not have a good HiDef monitor either. Maybe I am receiving on a Mod Quad due to the fact that I am using a up-converted signal instead of a real HD signal. But I have been able to supply this type of signal to HD monitors and lock in the signal. But until I try a real HD?????

I am on a shoot in Long Beach on Saturday and Sunday with the F900R. Should be possible to test it out on set if you want to bring it by.

Terry, are you saying it will accept a HDSDI signal and transmit it in standard def or will it transmit HD to some kind of receiver?

Supplying the answers as I get them. Just talked to Peter. The 5000 will take in a HiDef signal and convert it to either 4:3 or 16:9 (depending on your recever / monitor combination) and can be used with a standard monitor. I am using a Sony monitor with a Mod Quad. If you email me at techrat@earthlink.net I will send you a PDF of its specs.

Terry none of that makes sense, HDSDI is a data stream, are you saying that it has a downconverter in it and it outputs a NTSC Signal?

Yes. it puts out a NTSC/PAL signal. 16:9 or 4:3 Letterbox or cropped. Is there a way I can post a PDF on the forum? The model I have is not the final configuration. CIT is wanting to get some feedback before they make a production run.

Eric, I seemed to have a problem getting your email through my spam blocker. Could you resend it?

So, basicly, it´s a downconverter and analog transmitter in one?

Basically that is what it is.

I have that already, it's called Decimator/Canatrans :-)
