Multiplexers combine several MPEG-2 and/or H.264 transport streams into a single multiplex transport stream, or "mux" for short. They also combine several multiplexes into a single remultiplex, or "remux". IP is quickly becoming the dominant infrastructure for reliable delivery of digital content to broadcasters and head ends.
The T-Mux IP/IP™ is a professional transport stream multiplexer with GigE inputs and output. It combines or multiplexes 2 to 7 incoming MPEG-2 and/or H.264 IP Transport Streams, SPTS or MPTS to MPTS. The muxed stream can be output to IP (UDP or RTP) or optional DVB-ASI. Audio stream types supported are: AC-3, Enhanced AC-3, MPEG Audio (Layers I, II, and III), AAC,and DTS.
Both cable companies and IP TV operators source content via dedicated circuits or public internet. At the end point this device will feed DVB-S/S2 modulators, Edge QAMS, or VOD servers. This unit provides an affordable way to deliver multiplexed content across their broadband infrastructure.
