Description
This IP to 16 RF Agile QAM Edge Modulator from Thor is a versatile all-in-one device that can convert up to 1024 IP transport streams in UDP/RTP into 16 nonadjacent QAM Channels. This high-density IP to QAM modulator takes content delivered via an IP backbone or CDN system and modulates it onto digital QAM cable channels for distribution over coax.Housed in a 1 RU chassis, it supports two individual Ethernet inputs, each capable of injecting up to 840Mb/s, outputting all programming onto a single RF F-type connector for easy integration into your RF coax infrastructure. This single RU form factor enables you to create your own IP to RF headend within one chassis. All QAM Channels and IP inputs are managed via the NMS RJ45 port on the front of the unit, allowing quick and easy access to your programming through Thor s user-friendly GUI. The IPTV programming input follows the standard headend format, supporting UDP/RTP unicast/multicast IGMP v2/v3 addresses and port format. This high-density design allows a single chassis to convert an IPTV Ethernet backbone feed into digital cable QAM channels for straightforward distribution.Features at a Glance Two gigabit Ethernet input interfaces16 clear QAM channel outputs; nonadjacent 50-960 MHzMaximum 1024 channels TS over UDP, RTP, and unicast/multicastOutput of RF on 16 multiplexed, scrambled, or QAM (DVB-C) channels Gigabit Ethernet is serviced by SFP interfaceSupports IGMP v2/v3Max 840 Mb/s for each GE inputSupports up to 180 PIDs per channel with PID remapping (manual or auto)Web NMS (Network Management Software) for easy online access and management
