ZeeVee 3KHVE2R HDMI Module for HDbridge3000
Product Overview
The ZeeVee 3KHVE2R is a dual-channel HDMI encoder blade for the HDbridge3000 modular digital headend chassis, encoding two HDMI sources to MPEG-2 and outputting to QAM RF for coax TV distribution. As an HDMI to QAM encoder blade, the 3KHVE2R supports up to 24 channels per chassis when 12 blades are fully installed, making it an efficient solution for high-channel-count commercial headends. This dual-channel HDMI encoder for RF distribution installs directly into any available slot in the HDbridge3000 3U chassis (sold separately) and is managed through the chassis command module’s web-based interface.
Product Description
The 3KHVE2R accepts two HDMI inputs and encodes each to MPEG-2, modulating the output to QAM RF for distribution over coax infrastructure to compatible TV displays and set-top boxes. This blade is suited for deployments where HDMI source signals need to reach large numbers of displays via existing coax cable plants, such as hotel properties, university residence halls, or government buildings. Up to 12 blades slot into a single HDbridge3000 chassis, and the chassis can accommodate a mix of blade types, so the 3KHVE2R can coexist with component, composite, and unencrypted HDMI blades in the same headend. The QAM RF output integrates with existing cable distribution amplifiers and combiners without requiring separate IP network infrastructure for delivery to end displays. Centralized management through the chassis command module provides unified configuration and monitoring of all installed blades from a single browser interface. The 3KHVE2R is the foundational HDMI QAM blade choice when IP output is not required and coax-only RF distribution is the target architecture.
Key Features
- Dual-Channel HDMI Input — Encodes two independent HDMI sources per blade for efficient channel density in the chassis.
- MPEG-2 QAM Output — Outputs encoded channels to QAM RF for distribution over existing coax cable infrastructure.
- Up to 24 Channels Per Chassis — Fully populated chassis with 12 blades delivers up to 24 HDMI-sourced QAM channels.
- HDbridge3000 Chassis Compatibility — Slots into any available slot in the HDbridge3000 3U chassis alongside other blade types.
- Centralized Web Management — Managed via the HDbridge3000 chassis command module alongside all other installed blades.
Typical Applications
- Hotel in-room TV distribution from HDMI receiver outputs via coax
- University residence hall cable TV distribution
- Government and military facility HDMI-to-coax headend deployments
- Sports bar and entertainment venue multi-channel HDMI distribution
- Corporate facility internal TV channel distribution over coax

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the 3KHVE2R and the 3KAVE2IH?
- The 3KHVE2R outputs to QAM RF only. The 3KAVE2IH outputs simultaneously to both QAM RF and IP. Choose the 3KHVE2R for coax-only deployments; choose the 3KAVE2IH when simultaneous IPTV delivery is also required.
- Does the 3KHVE2R require a separate chassis?
- Yes. The HDbridge3000 chassis (HDB3KR-NA) is required and sold separately.
- Can the 3KHVE2R be mixed with other blade types in the same chassis?
- Yes. All HDbridge3000 blade types can coexist in any combination across the chassis’ 12 module slots.
