Energy: 15 minutes of active use, followed by 15 minutes in
standby mode
and as quickly as possible.
At the time of our product
test revised firmware was
not yet available, so we were
not able to give it a try our-
selves.
A final word regarding
software updates: Global
Invacom has integrated a
safety net into its tvLINK HD
system, which can be acti-
vated at any time. Basically,
it consists of an automatic
reset function which loads
the default software version
that was factory-installed.
So no matter which new
firmware you try out via the
USB port, a reset will always
bring you right back to the
original firmware. And in
case an update goes wrong
for whatever reason an in-
operative tvLINK HD system
can always be brought back
to live at the touch of a but-
ton.
All things considered, we
were impressed with the tv-
LINK HD from Global Inva-
com. With its excellent video
quality even in 1080p and
thanks to easy installation
you need not be afraid of TV
signal distribution to several
rooms any longer.
Using existing coax ca-
bles dating from the analog
age reactivates aged infra-
structure for state-of-the-
art high-definition television.
In addition, regular UHF and
VHF signals can be distribut-
ed alongside the tvLINK HD
signal so that not only shiny
HD channels are available,
but all analog and digital ter-
restrial signals as well.
No-worries and fully automatic installation. Existing coax
cables can be used and all signals in the VHF and UHF bands are
carried alongside the tvLINK HD signal. Excellent video quality,
flawless forwarding of IR signals from the remote control and firm-
ware updates right via the USB port all add up to create a truly
spotless impression.
