Broadcast Quality, Multi Channel, Frequency Agile, 2 RU 8VSB or QAM (Combination) Tuner/Demodulator with DVB-ASI Output. Ideal for Digital Turnaround at Cable Head Ends, by Feeding the ASI Outputs into Modulators for Transmodulation. These Modules are also Suitable for Remote Receivers Where the Outputs are Encapsulated into IP.

Broadcast Quality Frequency Agile High Definition Clear QAM Receiver Demodulator with MPEG-2 HD/SD Decoder (2.5-45 Mbps). Decodes DVB-ASI and Demodulates QAM 16, 64, 256 and Converts it to SDI, HD-SDI, RGB, YPrPb, or Composite Output. Transport Streams Play Out in HD or SD Format. Optional Secondary SD Decoder with Composite Output Only. Dolby AC-3 and MPEG Audio Decode with XLR Connectors. Cost Effective MPEG-2 Decoder/Receiver. Additional Features Include SNMP Management.
