Why install new cabling for digital signage or
AV signal distribution when you can use existing
coax runs instead? The MediaCento
™
RF gives
you a simple, affordable way to do just that.
With it, you can convert video from a
Component or VGA video source into an HDTV
cable channel, extending that channel over
standard coax RF wiring in your building.
As a combination MPEG 2 encoder and
frequency-agile QAM modulator, the MediaCento
RF encodes video and audio then modulates
signals for single-channel RF coax transmission,
creating a well-formed 6-MHz QAM 256 channel
for the 50 – 900-MHz modulation range (Channels
2–135) of a digital cable system. You use the
QAM tuner in your display to decode the signals.
Great for digital signage!
I
t’s a particularly economical alternative to
installing a digital signage player at each and
every display when the messaging is the same
on every display (which can be overkill in terms
of equipment costs). You can use a single player
to feed content over existing coax cabling to an
unlimited number of displays. MediaCento RF
essentially enables you to distribute HD content
for $0 per display! And that’s not counting the
money saved by not having to install new wiring
and wallplates.
The MediaCento RF is also ideal for businesses
and public venues that currently have HD content
that they’d like to send to on-premises HDTVs.
• Encodes and modulates video input, creating an HDTV channel
for low-cost coax. Add an HD channel to an existing coax feed.
• Makes it simple to send video to every on-premise HDTV screen.
• Works with any VGA or Component video source.
• To view video remotely, just tune it in using the HDTV’s QAM tuner.
• No set-top boxes required! No limit to the number of HDTVs that
can receive broadcasts from one unit.
• The channel can even be combined with 133 other HDTV channels — great for
schools, hospitals, hotels, or other buildings with in-house TV distribution systems.
• Also transmits audio and supports input from USB audio devices.

Choose from two models:
The high-end 1080i MediaCento RF (AVX-
VGA-RF) supports VGA input up to 1920 x 1080
and Component video input up to 1080i, and
has dual analog audio jacks. Plus, it enables
configuration via a PC’s USB connection and

for channel switching). In addition, the 1080i
MediaCento RF supports broadcasting two HD
channels in different languages.
For light-commercial use, order the low-
priced 720p MediaCento RF (AVX-VGA-RF44).
It supports VGA video input up to 1680 x 1050
and Component input up to 720p. It can be
configured from the front panel or a USB PC
connection. This model accepts digital audio only
(via a digital RCA audio, TOSLINK
®
, or Windows
®
PC USB link).
