The COM3000 solution has been designed specifically for hotels and similar installations.
Key features:
- Compact Form Factor
The COM3000 offers up to 138 channels of HD video and integrated Edge QAMs in a 3RU COM400 rack-mount chassis. This compact design also results in dramatic power savings compared to typical stacked receiver solutions.
- HD Content Protection
For High-Definition solutions that require copy protection, the COM51 receiver blades add Pro:Idiom™ or Pro:Idiom Mobile™ encryption to the HD content, which can be played back on any Pro:Idiom™ or Pro:Idiom Mobile™ enabled receiver device or television.
- Integrated Edge QAM
Available as a plug-in module for the COM400 chassis, the QAM20 reduces overall system costs and simplifies the installation and maintenance for the COM3000. The QAM20, sold as a 16-channel QAM, and can be software upgraded to a 48 channel QAM device two channels at a time, capable of delivering all 138* streams of DIRECTV™ HD content as well as additional local sourced content.
*Three DIRECTV streams per QAM are possible on a properly balanced system—please ask your distributor or Technicolor for more information.
- Remote Management
The COM3000, including all the receiver blades and Edge QAMs, can be managed and monitored remotely over the Internet or local network using a simple web browser-based management interface.
The COM400 includes an integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet backplane with two 1 Gigabit and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports available on the front panel. It contains two slots for up to two QAM20s to be inserted, for a maximum of up to 96 QAM channels; and six receiver slots, for up to a total of 138 DIRECTV HD streams, utilizing the COM51 receiver blades and SWCOM51 tuner licenses.
The COM400 provides all the receiver blades and QAM20s with a commercial-grade power supply drawing less than 225W of power when fully loaded. This cuts the power usage by more than half when compared to a comparable stacked receiver head-end system and provides for tremendous savings in yearly Operational Expenses associated with video distribution systems.
The COM400 also provides commercial-grade cooling fans in order to meet the grueling demands of harsh commercial environments.

As the newest in a family of DIRECTV receivers specifically designed for the commercial market, COM51 adds a new level of density capable of tuning up to 23 high-definition channels as well as capable of tuning DIRECTV 4K content and outputting this content over IP with either Zenith Pro:Idiom™ or Pro:Idiom Mobile™ content protection for HD and 4K broadcasts. The IP output can either be aggregated and distributed using an existing IP network, or it can be sent to the integrated QAM20. The COM51 can also simultaneously send it’s channel streams to an IP network and QAM without the need for duplicating channels.
The COM51 comes standard with 8 active tuners and can be expanded, via one license tuner at a time to a max of 23 HD channels.
- 8 HD or SD channels
- MPEG2 and MPEG4 support
- UDP/RTP Video Outputs
- 2 RF SWM or digital SWM inputs
- Add up to 15 SWCOM51 Tuner Licenses
- LED Status Indicators
- Can be daisy-chained with new or previous COM systems for higher channel count installations
- Pro:Idiom™ & Pro:Idiom Mobile™ content protection
Content distribution typically requires an Edge QAM device to distribute digital content using an RF cable network. The QAM20 is designed specifically for the COM3000 and fits perfectly into the bottom slot of the COM400 chassis. It provides for sixteen channels of QAM and can modulate 48 HD streams of DIRECTV. Although you can install two QAM20 Edge QAMs in a COM3000, this will only be needed for high levels of local content insertion or 4K content.
The QAM20 can be easily upgraded to a max of 48 QAM, two at a time, using a SWQAM2 key which can be applied to the device. This allows you to maximize the efficiency of the Edge QAM for any specific application.
External content from IP sources can be routed through the QAM20 for RF distribution. This includes content from external sources such as a PC, video camera, or another IP converter.
- DIRECTV™: Supports up to 3 HD programs per QAM
- Able to mix HD and SD content on and QAM channel
- Accepts MPEG over IP content from external sources
- 2 Channel software license purchase available to upgrade to a maximum of 48 total QAM channel
