Description
The Blonder Tongue MUX-12A-IP (Multiplexer 12:1 ASI-to-IP) is designed for cherry-picking applications, allowing operators to create custom-made channel lineups by grooming standard and high-definition (SD/HD) programs on an as-needed basis. The MUX-12A-IP accepts up to twelve inputs in ASI format, and multiplexes them into to one MPEG-2/H.264 multi-program transport stream, which is then encapsulated and assigned to a single IP address in 1000Base-T Ethernet (GbE) format suitable for distribution over Cat-5 networks.
An identical output transport stream is also available in ASI format. Each ASI input stream can contain up to 12 programs, for a total of 144 input programs. The GbE output (single IPv4 address) can contain up to 20 programs, groomed from any of the available 144 input programs, not to exceed 214 Mbps.
Additional Features:
- Allows Null Packet insertion and deletion GbE Output
- Supports up to 20 programs from the total of 144 input programs not to exceed 214 Mbps
- Provides robust protection against IP network jitter and delay
- Supports Uni- and Multi-cast through UDP/RTP protocols
- Supports IPv4, ARP, IGMPv2, and ICMP protocols
- Performs PCR replacement
- Supports variable and constant bitrates
- Provides a single IPv4 address and port
- Comprehensive remote GUI-based monitoring/control via front-panel 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface and any standard Web browser
