Reconfiguration Services

Contec has the unique capability to add functions, change electrical specifications, and expand the program capacity of advanced analog converters or digital set-tops to meet the marketing objectives of a wide range of local cable systems. Be it for movies, sports, education, or any other special interest programming, Contec has the experience and expertise to re-configure your current equipment.

• Change from telephone 2-way to RF 2-way capability for impulse PPV
• Be moved from one system to another
• Have an Out of Band (OOB) carrier frequency change
• Have an RS232 port, analog descrambling and stereo privacy

With the volatility of today's cable industry of mergers, system swaps and system sales, coupled with rapidly changing technology in the set-tops, previously purchased products may not suit current needs for desired functionality. Add in product reassignment from one system to another within an MSO, and the probability exists that product available for use may not suit desired performance requirements. Contec's reconfiguration offerings provide you with the ability to extend the useful life of products you currently have in your system. Component changes and additions are done using parts that meet or exceed original OEM specifications. We can custom tailor the set-tops for your use by changing the electrical functionality of the unit as it was originally built to accommodate your specific system needs. Contec can also provide you with the ability to add functionality to the unit that it was not originally equipped with, thus allowing extended life of previously capitalized equipment with minimal investment as compared to total replacement of the unit.
