- TMX-2010 Transport Multiplexer
- Satellite Smartstream Encryptor Modulator (SEM)
- DigiCipher Event Manager (DEM), for splice insertion and cue tone support
- Encoder and modulator products providing:
- Encoding
- Multiplexing
- Encryption
- Conditional access
- Modulation
- Encoder redundancy
- Uplink redundancy
- Overall system control
Supporting either MPEG-2, MPEG-4, or HEVC encoding, of either HD or SD source formats, multiplexed in either CBR (continuous bit-rate) or stat-mux format.
Features
- Supports Newtec DVB-S2/S2X modulators, Newtec Turbo8PSK modulators, as well as RE/FPM DCII QPSK modulators
- Sophisticated program substitution features, including retune, blackout, and conditional program delivery
- Supports CommScope IRDs, including legacy models
- Real-time encoder redundancy switchover and uplink redundancy switchover independent of presence of BNC controller
- Stackable system elements, designed to fit within typical transmission and uplink control racks
CommScope Professional Services offers a full suite of services to support programmers’ networks: modular uplink and other aspects of network design and documentation, installation, upgrade, reconfiguration, system integration and validation services.
