Recognition
The Sports Bar TV Modulator Owners Have Trusted Since 2017
When the big game has to be on every screen at once, the VeCOAX MINIMOD 2+ is the sports bar TV modulator pros install β award-winning, US-built, proven on 50,000+ installations.
How a Sports Bar TV Modulator Works
One Game Feed β Every Screen in the House
A sports bar TV modulator turns one game source into a channel on your coax. Every TV tunes it on a normal scan β buy the game once and show it on all of them, with no box behind any screen.
- Plug the game source into the modulator β cable/satellite box, PPV receiver, streaming stick, league app
- Assign a channel number on the front-panel LCD β the game becomes a TV channel
- Combine the coax output into the bar's existing TV cabling
- Every screen tunes the game channel on a normal scan, in full 1080p
- No box behind every TV, no HDMI runs across the ceiling, no rewiring
- Show several games at once β add a modulator per feed on the same coax
Setup
Put the Game on Every Screen in Under a Minute. No Computer Required.
Bartenders aren't AV techs. The MINIMOD 2+ puts every setting β channel, modulation, output level β on a color LCD right on the box, so changing the feed between games takes seconds.
- Built-in color LCD shows the channel, frequency, and signal status at a glance Built for sports bar tv modulator installations.
- Match your bar's TV standard β QAM or ATSC β right on the front panel
- No PC, no software, no app β staff can change the feed in seconds
- Power on β pick a channel β combine onto coax β scan TVs β done Built for sports bar tv modulator installations.
Matches Your Bar
Works With Whatever Standard Your TVs Tune
QAM for cable-mode TVs, ATSC for antenna-mode, plus DVB-T, DVB-C, and ISDB-T β selectable on the LCD. One modulator fits any sports bar TV system.
Bars run different TV setups β some on cable QAM, some on antenna ATSC. The MINIMOD 2+ outputs all of them, so your game channel joins the existing lineup cleanly no matter how the place is wired.
Because it produces a true broadcast-standard channel, the game behaves exactly like any pro sports network on every screen in the building.
Remote Control
Switch Feeds From Behind the Bar
The front-panel LCD handles setup, but when modulators live in the back you can also monitor and retune them remotely through the secure web interface β change the big game without leaving the bar.
- Optional web interface to change the channel or feed from behind the bar
- Manage a rack of game-feed modulators from one browser tab
- Works from PC, Mac, tablet, or phone β no app to install Built for sports bar tv modulator installations.
- Live status so you know every game channel is on-air before kickoff
Audio
Every Screen, Same Play β Perfectly in Sync
Nothing kills the vibe like one TV a half-second behind. The MINIMOD 2+ encodes broadcast-grade Dolby Digital so audio arrives locked to picture on every screen in the bar.
- Dolby Digital / LPCM audio on the game channel
- Tight lip-sync from feed to every TV β no echo or drift across the room
- Passes 5.1 surround from compatible HDMI sources Built for sports bar tv modulator installations.
- Crowd-roar clarity on every screen and speaker zone
Installation
Three Connections. Done.
Game source in. Combine onto coax. Channel scan. The game is on every screen β in Full HD with synced audio.
A sports bar TV modulator install with the MINIMOD 2+ takes minutes, not days. Connect the game source to the input, combine the F-type coax output into the bar's TV cabling, pick a channel on the LCD, and auto-scan the TVs. There is no network to configure and no box behind any screen β the existing coax feeds every TV.

Compatibility
Every Screen Tunes the Game β HD, 4K, and 8K
The game channel is a standard digital signal, so any TV with a built-in tuner decodes it perfectly β from older HD sets to the newest 4K wall displays.
Because the MINIMOD 2+ outputs a standard digital channel, virtually every TV in the bar decodes it with its own tuner β no box behind the screen. Color space, frame rate, and audio sync are handled inside the modulator, so the game looks right on every brand and size you've mounted.

FAQ
Sports Bar TV Modulator - Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sports bar TV modulator?
A sports bar TV modulator is a device that turns an HDMI source into a real digital TV channel over coax.
