DIRECTV COM3000 High Definition Headend System
The Vantiva (formerly Technicolor) COM3000 HD Headend – For facilities that require a centralized headend type television system, DIRECTV delivers what is the clear industry standard for healthcare and hospitals.
The COM3000 high definition/4K headend is a virtually plug and play system that provides up to 138 HD/4K channels in 3RU of rack space. And uses just 225W of energy!!
When it was introduced in 2009 the COM1000 HD Pro:idiom headend system was a revolution in Hotel and Healthcare TV Systems. The new COM3000 headend TV system brings the technological advances, convenience and the features that quickly made the COM1000 the industry standard high definition headend system.
With the NEW COM3000 you can increase channels easily by adding receiver blades, the system includes redundancy of key components to give you peace of mind that you system will maintain uptime, it supports both RF and IP-based networks, the system automatically tracks DIRECTV programming changes, and can be monitored both on your local LAN and remotely via a built-in web interface.
The COM3000 is also backwards compatible with the COM1000 and COM2000 Pro:Idiom HD Headend Systems so you can expand on an existing system or upgrade.
Plug and Play = No Worries About Downtime
For healthcare facilities that are currently using an existing analog or COM1000/2000 headend, you may be worried about the downtime involved in switching to HD. It’s a very real concern, because in a 24/7/365 industry you’re talking about disconnecting the TV in every single room. With the COM3000 that worry is completely gone.
The system is direct swap-in for an existing headend and in most cases requires absolutely no additional cabling. The headend staging and design can be done before the system is hooked to your HDTVs and then it’s a simple matter of connecting the new system, disconnecting the old, and setting up the in-room HDTVs.
One of the biggest benefits is the nearly plug and play compatibility of the COM2000 HD Headend. In a 24/7/365 industry, the ability to simply cut over to a new system with little or no downtime is a critical difference.
COM3000 Energy Savings
Compared to a 36-channel stacked receiver analog headend, a 138-channel COM3000 HD Headend system will save approximately $2,465 in operating costs* over a 5 year contract!
*at US average of $0.178 per kWh
Best of all, a fully configured COM3000 HD headend system is about 1/2 the cost of a similarly configured Com1000 Pro:Idiom headend system
