1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a GRUNDIG digital video recorder for HD-SDI signals. This manual is for GRH-K2108A
and GRH-K1004A.
Based on the Television Standard for FullHD Television, HDcctv products feature up to 2 Megapixel (1920x1080)
pictures in real-time (30fps) transmitted over coax cabling.
Get the advantages of IP technology without their drawbacks: 16:9 megapixel pictures without network
configuration, bandwidth problems and network security risks. Use existing coax cables and only exchange the
cameras and recorders. Get a “real” live picture and see the things that happen in the now, not a few seconds
ago. Connect a monitor directly to a camera using only a HDcctv-to-HDMI converter.
HDcctv is easy to handle, easy to install and produces amazing high quality pictures.
