Free To Guest are services delivered to residents or guests for private or public viewing at nocharge. This includes video, voice and data amenities provided by the property for their use.

HDTV Programming: DIRECTV video signal sent from a satellite to an installed satellitedish(s).

Pro:Idiom™ Transcoder: A modified DIRECTV receiver that converts high-definition DIRECTVsignal into to a digital format that can be delivered through the hotel distribution network.Digital video is an exact replica of its original source without degradation and the contentowners require that the signal be encrypted all the way to the television. Pro:Idiom™

technology is a digital video content security system designed to encrypt the signal so that onlyauthorized Pro:Idiom HDTVs can decode the signal and display the video on its screen. TheTranscoder is built into the head end, one transcoder per channel.

Digital QAM Modulator: Changes the frequency of the video signal so that each channel canbe viewed on the desired channel number. For example, the QAM modulator would changethe frequency for HBO (normally DIRECTV channel 501) so that it can be viewed on channel5 at your property. The QAM modulator is also located in the head end.

Pro:Idiom TV capable of HDTV resolution: Pro:Idiom enabled HDTVs have the ability todecode the encrypted signal sent from the Pro:Idiom Transcoder so that the content can beseen by your customers Identification Module (IDM): Pro:Idiom HDTVs also have an insertionpoint for the ID Module, which marks each individual room’s video signal with a unique andtraceable key code for additional content security. Many broadcast stations such as ESPN HD,HBO HD and SHOWTIME HD require this component in order to protect their content from piracy.
