Description
The ATSC/QAM Transcoder from Blonder Tongue allows you to create a custom IP and QAM output from off-air and/or QAM input sources. The unit accepts eight 8VSB off-air or QAM sources and simultaneously outputs these SPTS and/or MPTS programs in IP and/or QAM. At the same time, the AQT8-QAM/IP can be configured in pass-through mode, which directly maps the demodulated RF port content in MPTS format to IP output. For off-air applications, the transcoder has a 2:1 Mux Mode feature, which allows you to multiplex two off-air sources to one MPTS for QAM distribution. It also accepts encrypted QAM sources, and outputs the encrypted IP transport streams programs in MPTS or SPTS formats, while preserving the MPEG tables including PAT, PMT, PSIP, VCT, and MGT from the source. The unit allows you to change the PID, program number, short name, and major/minor channel (PSIP) information on any program. Additionally, the ATSC/QAM Transcoder supports up to eight QAM-256 outputs that are agile fr
