The 232-ATSC 4K HDTV Tuner is the 5th-generation ATSC HDTV tuner from Contemporary Research. New features include the capability to tune H.264 programs up to 1080p60, scale outputs up to UHD 4K, and output IPTV streaming via an Ethernet port. The 232-ATSC 4K is a commercial grade tuner supporting analog and digital MPEG-2/H.264 channels in ATSC, NTSC, and clear QAM formats. Using an optional RF-AB switch, it's capable of switching between antenna and cable feeds. It's also fully compatible with the control commands and operation of previous tuner models, and it has the same 1 RU rack height (two units fit in one rack space).
