The ZvBox® 170 is the newest member of ZeeVee’s line of HD encoder / modulators. Its steel chassis, fan cooling and rack mounting make it suitable for light commercial projects - but it’s also an excellent choice for sharing HD sources over existing coax in high-end homes, as it reduces or eliminates the need to cut holes in walls and run new wires.
And it’s a performer: its upgraded video processor delivers 60 frames per second, so tough-to-reproduce video like sporting events and scrolling text look remarkably smooth and clean.
