The team at Antiference ( Stand 49 ) will be delivering new products that provide solutions to solve a number of problems .
First up , a feature-packed HDMI modulator designed to fit with SKY Q ( compatible with 1080p resolutions only at this time ).
With SKY Q the question for many is ‘ how can I now distribute the SKY Q box to other rooms and maintain the same control I had with my old SKY box ?’
The new Conexer DMHD01R features an HDMI loop-through enabling it to be connected to a local TV set ( or extender or matrix ) and the all-important IR control facility . Based on the SKY magic eye system , the modulator enables control of a source over the modulated coax distribution system . This is ideal for SKY Q ( which has no RF or iO link control on-board ) or any other non-SKY source device . A transmitter sensor ( supplied ) can be connected to the modulator , fixed on the front of the source and using an Antiference Remotelink or 75 Series by-pass amplifier and standard magic eye , the user is able to control the source through the modulated system in multiple locations ; using the existing infrastructure in most cases .
Another new feature on the DMHD01R is a USBbased record / playback function , useful for signage solutions . With a USB 3.0 stick or hard drive , files can be instantly recorded or played-back over the DVB-T transport stream meaning information can be supplied to the screens in the system . Also included is a scheduling facility allowing the user to pre-schedule playbacks or recordings or to play / repeat at certain times of the day or night .
For TV sets which are not compatible , Antiference has developed the DIGIBOX , a DVB-T / T2 receiver with a media player . This compact unit is compatible with all Antiference modulators where some TV ’ s may not be . It can be connected to the TV set via HDMI or CVBS and slipped behind the TV set ; leaving only a simple control sensor in view . A quick , cheap & neat solution solving a common problem .
Teleste will be showcasing its own hospitality portfolio on Stands 4 and 5 , which provides innovative , easy-to-use solutions for HD distribution and IPTV delivery . The company offers cost-effective choices for utilising the existing coax TV distribution cables , to bring high-speed Internet access and Wi-Fi to every room . Teleste will also be showcasing the latest in UHD matrix and distribution from both ZeeVee and PureLink .
ZeeVee ’ s ZyPer4K supports the distribution of ultrahigh definition , uncompressed 4K content , audio and other data signals using off-the-shelf 10 GB Ethernet switching technology . PureLink products are designed to ensure that whatever the application there is a solution ready to deliver full 4K and UHD signals .

The distributor says the CENTRO 8 represents a quantum leap in home automation , bringing advanced automation capabilities to the masses , with an affordable control processor and embedded software .
Also on show will be Legrand ’ s capable automation brands Arteor , Vantage , NuVo and Bticino .
Always a busy stand at the show , Blustream has got off to a strong start for 2017 with the launch of several new video distribution and control solutions . Visitors can expect exclusive hands-on access to the maker ’ s Multicast UHD Video over IP distribution solution , the new Blustream Multi-Room Control App and the latest Custom Pro HDBaseT Matrix .
Blustream says its Multicast Video over IP solution has given installers a new offering of HDMI distribution over a 1GB network . Multicast is designed to deliver virtually latency-free distribution of visually lossless media at resolutions that exceed the capabilities of HDBaseT , all in a modular format that allows for easy adds and changes .
