MPEG Gearbox™ DVB-S-S2/IP

Important Details About Gearboxes with DVB-S-S2 Tuners

MPEG Gearbox™ MF
MultiStreamer MF™ (maxi)

1.	Each GearBox DVB-S-S2 has 8 satellite tuners located on 4 dual channel receiver cards.
2.	Each Tuner can be set up to see an entire transponder.
3.	Each Transponder carries approximately 40 channels.
4.	Our software can select any stream from any of the 8 transponders for forwarding and transcoding.
5.	Gearbox can transcode 15+ SD streams from MPEG-2 to H.264.
6.	Gearbox can transcode 3 HD 1080i or 5 720p streams from MPEG-2 to H.264.
7.	Each of the streams can be sent to a WOWZA or Adobe servers.
8.	Each of the streams can be sent to an Apple IPOD, iPhone, via built in HLS protocol.
9.	Each Gearbox is built with Linux running on a Flash SS drive.
10.	Since we run Linux we/you can log into each Gearbox from anywhere.
11.	Since we run Linux these units are reliable.
