I use something like this to watch Plex on my CRTs throughout the house. I use a Pi with RasPlex as the OS. Downloaded all music videos from the 80s and 90s that I could find. Downloaded some MTV IDs and then hit shuffle. The pi connects to the HDMI to RF Coax which then connects to a splitter in the basement that feeds the rest of the house. I didn't just cut the cord, I created my own.
Just found a small Sony mini tv at a thrift store today and wanted to hook up a Apple TV for airplay capabilities. This device seems that it would do the job. Thanks for posting!
Back in the analog days those were used for example to insert a video device (surveillance camera etc.) into your home TV antenna wiring on an unused channel. They were also used in hotels for info channels etc. In hotel settings you could even use a lot of them chained in series (output of one connected to input of the next) with a satellite receiver hooked up to each to convert satellite TV into analog TV so you didn't need a satellite receiver in each room. Although you'd rather use professional rackmount versions of this, with slot-in modulator modules. Anyhow, those modulators are meant for direct cable hookup to a TV, not for broadcasting via an antenna. Although it works of course, if you crank the output power to maximum :)
Thinking about getting one to use my childhood TV again as it doesn’t have a video in port. It looks like your mini TV btw :) just in red. Also I’m curious whether I can bypass this issue: i hooked up my ps3 to a CRT. Looks great, but some games only work through HDMI . So maybe i can plug it into this device and use the PS 3 on a CRT with all games. 👍🏾
I would use this to play retro emulated games from a HDMI device like a RG35XX+ or a computer, and have the output be RF cause my CRT is RF only. Currently I use a VCR, but there's onne of these HDMI to RF devices that lets you adjust the picture size and That'd be why I would use these.
Plug in your PC and/or Xbox, leave them in your basement and use antenna on a modern TV in your living room or bedroom and use wireless casting features without latency. And get a Raspberry Pi and a 3D printer so you can make your own portable RF receiver with a Xbox controller so you can connect directly to the console and the TV connection for modern/vintage portable gaming.
Use a good set of Rabbit Ears at least 36" long. Would be better with good coax maybe add a amplifier on both sides transmitter and tv. I actually used an outdoor police scanner antenna tram 1411. It says on the package it transmits most of the frequencies between 25 MHZ to 1.300 MHZ I used a low VHF channel. On the TV side I used a directional FM Antenna since it is close enough to VHF lo channels. It actually worked pretty good.
Recently my tv provider cut analog signal and we only left digital but i still want to use my old crt tvs. I dont want to "broadcast" i just want to use our existing coax cables to carry this analog signal for the old analog tvs only. For the hdmi side i would connect something android tv, i know it is only 1 chanel for all but can it work?
I have had issues with the coax pass through which I should have mentioned. However you can still get converter boxes at Walmart and hook a cable splitter up to it though it all depends on what channel the converter box is on
It seemed to for me with a splitter from a rogers ignite internet cable box with hdmi out to the Tv and then the modulator box. One day later it never wored aagain. I ftried everything. I thin the hd decoding fried both the av/ hd mod box and splitter.

i guess it needs an av to hdmi first. would have helped if they advertised that b4 buying

lucky you. dont ever unplug or move it

I personally think it would be a good way of communications, kind of like the CB but with video😏
what rabbit ears would you suggest for transmitting? I'm using a single dipole right now. Just regular ole rabbit ears instead of the single ear?
This modulator can be used to connect your cctv DVR hdmi output to all your TVs in your house using the existing coaxial aerial connection

I use this to send AV signal from a TV box to RF coaxial cable to other rooms in the house to chan 3

distribute some chaneles to different rooms, like at the hotels. couple of them and a multiplexers to combine the signals.

Hello! I'm curious about the performance on 16:9 TV. How good is it?
I'd also be interested
Would I be able the get some help because I have one and I can’t get ti to transmit to my TVs at all
Is there anyway I could maybe message you?
@@BrandonLeeSang Are these newer tvs? because if they are you have to scan for new channels.
good luck. mine worked for 1 day by pressing n1 and setting an old DIAL tv to ch 5 and modulator to same. i dont now wtf happened after that.
Is there any way to boost the signal so it’s a little stronger?
個別にRF signal boosterを買ってください😊
@@ThirtyEight_NORTH38Translation is “Please buy the amplifier separately 😊”
@@sprunkifan454 Thx
@@sprunkifan454 If you want to be really pedantic, its more like "You gotta buy an RFamplifier"
HOW MANY OUTPUT WATTS DOES IT HAVE?
i'm not sure but its within FCC limits
I use them to distrabute CCTV, XBOX One and DVD etc
Way more than 5 veiws
