Industry Leader in
Broadband Integration
HDTV Tuning & Control over COAX
Founded by Scott Hetzler in 1994, CR began with a vision for creating solutions that easily integrate with leading control systems such as AMX, Crestron, and other control systems. Prior to founding CR, Scott was the leading designer for many award-winning AMX control products.
Today's CR remains tightly focused on creating solutions for systems integrators, with a core team of well-known control industry experts.

Why RF?Why RF?Why integrate HD media and control over coax? Because it’s there – Re-use and Recycle Earn LEED Innovation Points for control of displays
What about new construction? Cost - RF is a cost-effective HD content delivery system Bandwidth – 5 times greater than IP Distance – measured in miles, not feet Simplicity – No hubs, Cat 5 receivers, transmitters or HD video
router – just wire, all core components at one central Head End Reliability – CR coax control systems in place for over 12
years
Distribution - BandwidthDistribution - BandwidthEthernet1 Gbps bandwidth over copper. Bandwidth for media shared with other IP resources, potentially bogging down the network

Digital RF Coax5.2 Gbps bandwidth for 135 HDTV cable channels (38.3 Mbps x 135)
Each channel can carry two full HDTV (19.4 Mbps) channels or mix of HD/SD channels
Media distribution not shared with data applications
New Construction? Run both for structured wiring. Deliver the best of both, and balance content delivery to suit the application. Digital TV is IPTV., just without the mess.

Create a mix of in-house cable channels from sat/cable boxes, digital signage players, HD-SDI studio feeds, IPTV, off-air tuners, and other media sources.
Combine into a facility-wide RF feed.

IP digital signage is addition
Each display needs a player
But what if all players are showing the same message?

RF digital signage is multiplication
One player feeds an HDTV channel
TVs simply tune in
