EDGE-QAM & Transmodulators

HDC-5004

IP to 4x QAM EDGE Modulator for DVB-C Head-End Distribution

The VIZOBOX HDC-5004 turns IP transport streams into four adjacent DVB-C QAM carriers, giving cable operators and property networks a compact, reliable path from IPTV sources to the coax network.

HDC-5004

Overview

The HDC-5004 is an EDGE-QAM modulator that multiplexes up to 512 SPTS or MPTS IPTV channels from four 100 Mb/s Ethernet inputs into four adjacent DVB-C QAM RF carriers within a 30–1000 MHz range. Full multiplexing functions include automatic or manual PID remapping, PCR restamping, PSI/SI table generation and NIT/LCN insertion. Scrambling to ETR289 and Simulcrypt standards ETSI 101 197 / ETSI 103 197 with up to four CA systems is supported, alongside MPTS IP output and NMS-based remote management in a 19-inch 1U housing.

Highlights

  • Modulates up to 512 SPTS/MPTS IPTV channels into 4 adjacent QAM carriers
  • DVB-C (EN 300 429) and ITU-T J.83 A/B/C modulation, 30–1000 MHz output range
  • PID remapping/PID pass, PCR restamping and automatic PSI/SI, NIT and LCN generation
  • Simulcrypt scrambling per ETR289, ETSI 101 197 and ETSI 103 197 with up to 4 CA systems
  • 4x MPTS IP output over UDP/RTP multicast via Gigabit Ethernet
  • NMS remote management and USB/system upgrade support in a 19" 1U chassis
