Encoders & Streamers
EMU-8600
High-density IPTV encoder-streamer with 8 to 24 HDMI inputs
Turn up to 24 HDMI sources into fully managed SPTS/MPTS IP streams from a single 1U unit — a compact, scalable foundation for professional IPTV and CATV head-ends.
Overview
The VIZOBOX EMU-8600 is a high-density head-end encoder-streamer available in 8-, 16- and 24-input versions. It encodes HDMI sources in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 and outputs them as SPTS IPTV streams plus multiplexed MPTS over UDP/RTP via Gigabit Ethernet, with an optional ASI output carrying a copy of the MPTS. Integrated multiplexing features such as PID filtering and remapping, accurate PCR adjustment and automatic PSI/SI table generation make it a complete building block for IPTV and CATV head-ends, managed entirely through a modern web interface.
Highlights
- Scalable series: 8, 16 or 24 HDMI inputs with matching SPTS IPTV outputs and 1–3 MPTS outputs
- MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 HD encoding over IP, with optional ASI output as a copy of the MPTS
- Professional multiplexing: PID filtering and remapping, accurate PCR adjustment, PSI/SI rebuilding and null-packet filtering
- On-screen graphics, scrolling text and QR code insertion
- Dedicated NMS port plus 1 GbE data-streaming port
- Full remote control and firmware updates via modern web-based management
