Custom Headends by Toner
For more than 45 years, Toner Cable Equipment Inc. has designed and built custom headends, as well as provided professional rack-and-stack integration services for customers throughout the world. From simple systems to highly complex multi-rack installations, we have learned what it takes to build reliable, efficient, and serviceable solutions that work right the first time.
Decades of Innovation
Technology has changed dramatically over the years—but experience still matters.
Back in the late 1970s, a typical headend required separate audio and video processing amplifiers, bandpass filters, and crystal-controlled channel converters. What once required multiple large equipment racks can now often be accomplished within a compact 5 to 10 Rack Unit (RU) digital video processing platform.
Toner has kept pace as technology evolved, and we have designed, built, installed, and commissioned more than 2,000 custom headends for over 50 years. Whether your project involves analog, digital, streaming, satellite reception, fiber optics, IPTV, or hybrid solutions, our engineering and field service teams understand how to integrate these technologies into a dependable and cost-effective system.
Beyond Headends
In addition to custom headends, we also provide a wide range of rack-and-stack integration services. Projects include streaming server racks, video distribution systems, master control systems, editing suites, and custom control console installations.
With a dedicated headend construction division as part of our engineering and field services team, we do far more than simply mount equipment into a rack. Building a professional headend requires detailed knowledge of system design, signal flow, equipment interoperability, programming, testing, and long-term support.
The Toner Advantage
When customers invest in a system, they are looking for more than just equipment. They want a quality installation that reflects positively on their organization, delivers reliable performance, and comes with experienced technical support when needed. That is exactly what Toner Cable delivers: quality workmanship, real value, and exceptional customer service.
One of the major advantages of working with Toner Cable is flexibility. We are not tied to a single manufacturer, which allows us to design systems using the equipment that best fits your application and budget. Customers can mix and match technologies and manufacturers to create the ideal solution for their facility.
For example, a system may include a Synamedia IRD, Sencore encoders, Dish Network SmartBox receivers, Toner Edge QAM modulators, combiners and amplifiers, along with a Monroe Electronics EAS system—all professionally integrated into one seamless solution.
Chances are, whatever your headend requirements may be, Toner Cable has already built a similar system before. That experience allows us to complete projects more efficiently, reduce installation headaches, and often save customers both time and money compared to building systems internally.Â
From simple systems to highly complex multi-rack installations, we have learned what it takes to build reliable, efficient, and serviceable solutions that work right the first time.
