Four Main Signal Transport Categories

Thor Broadcast organizes its technologies into four primary transport systems - the major ways audio, video, and data are carried across professional infrastructures.

1) Transport Over Coax - CATV RF

Convert HDMI, SDI, or analog sources into professional RF channels compatible with modern televisions.

Supported standards

  • QAM (J.83 A/B/C)
  • ATSC 8VSB
  • DVB-T / DVB-T2
  • ISDB-T

Capabilities

  • Single or multi-channel RF headends
  • HDMI - RF for hotels, casinos, gyms, and MDUs
  • SDI - RF for broadcast workflows
  • RF + IP + ASI simultaneous outputs
  • MPEG-2 or H.264 encoding
  • Virtual channel mapping, closed captioning, PSIP

2) Transport Over IP - IPTV

A complete IPTV ecosystem for delivering TV channels over Ethernet/IP networks.

Core technologies

  • IPTV Encoding (1-24 channels): H.265/H.264 with UDP, RTP, RTSP, SRT, HLS, DASH, RTMP
  • Distribution & Middleware: multicast/unicast, adaptive streaming, VLAN segmentation, hybrid RF/IP
  • IPTV Decoding (IP - HDMI/SDI): for TVs, monitors, projectors, production
  • IP - RF Gateways: 8/16/24/32 RF channels (QAM, ATSC, DVB-T/T2, ISDB-T)

3) Transport Over RJ11 / DVB-ASI

DVB-ASI remains essential for deterministic, low-jitter transport in professional broadcast engineering.

ASI product line

  • ASI encoders and multiplexers
  • ASI - IP gateways
  • IP - ASI bridges
  • ASI modulators/demodulators
  • Contribution and distribution routing workflows

Common use

  • TV stations, satellite uplinks, cable headends
  • Telecom broadcast infrastructures & contribution networks

4) Transport Over Fiber

Long-distance, interference-free delivery of high-bandwidth signals across critical facilities.

Supported transport

  • SDI: HD / 3G / 6G / 12G
  • HDMI: 1080p & 4K
  • CATV RF: forward & return paths
  • Ethernet: 1G & 10G
  • Audio, serial data (RS232/422/485), GPIO/control
  • CWDM multi-channel transport (up to 18 SDI channels on one fiber)

Professional IPTV / Broadcast Encoders & Gateways

One of the industry's most complete encoding and gateway product lines:

  • 1-24 Channel IPTV Encoders - independent H.264/H.265 encoding with full protocol support
  • IP - RF Edge Modulators (8-32 channels) - regenerate IPTV into full RF lineups (QAM/ATSC/DVB-T/T2/ISDB-T)
  • IPTV - HDMI Decoders - professional decoding for TVs, signage, monitoring, and production

Testimonials

What customers say about working with Thor Broadcast

Never heard of Thor before we bought some encoders; we had no idea how to set them up so I called tech support, their guys were quick to respond, courteous, and truly dedicated to solving issues promptly. Their skilled engineers understood our needs and provided reliable, effective solutions that went beyond what we expected. Made my job so much easier since their techs did all the work ha!

- Bob (FL)

The Thor Fiber guy I spoke with gave us great design ideas and got us headed in the right direction right off the bat, sharing solid design ideas that just made sense. They didn't stop there either-they laid out several clear BOM options so we could pick what fit us best and our budget concerns. The whole process was smooth, straightforward, and handled by folks who truly know their craft.

- Amir (Canada)

Contactied sales about modulators for our sports bar and was handled by a rep in the USA who clearly knew the products inside and out. They answered questions confidently, offered practical recommendations, and made the entire process easy and efficient. It was refreshing to speak with someone experienced who truly understood our application and didn't feed us fluff and B.S. just to take our money.

- Jeremiah (TX)

Even with a bizarre client requesting multiple design options and product options, the guys were very understanding, patient, and questioned every aspect of our project to get it right the first time. They delivered several well-thought-out designs with correlating components, making complex decisions simple. Their flexibility, attention to detail, and professionalism turned a crapchute into a done deal even with our difficult client.

- Ryan (NC)

They took a fresh look at our existing headend and straight up identified opportunities for cost reduction. Through detailed analysis and smart redesign, they delivered a complete makeover that flipped our analog stuff to digital performance while condensing the design to be more streamline. Their outside perspective and technical insight breathed new life into a crumbling system and delivered real, measurable value via HD gear.

- Enrique (Mexico)

When our new Florida hotel project kept getting delayed by another vendor, we called Thor and they really saved our asses. They had the fiber gear we needed in stock, including transmitters, splitters, and receivers. They even beat pricing on modulators we'd already ordered from someone else who never had a delivery date even after placing the order a month ago. They had it all in stock, overnight shipping, installed that day, and now I have a new preferred vendor in Thor.
