Description

The MXA 108 Multiplexer is placed in a 19” 1RU chassis. This unit is designed for today’s and future digital broadband, broadcast and playout applications.

The input capacities for each ASI input port are 128 PID’s @ 130 Mbit/s.

Specially designed software provides user access control and a measurement option to evaluate output data rates in real time.

The MXA 108 is equipped for remote and on site access/control and can be integrated in any network management system via Ethernet interface. A local configuration is possible via front panel.

The multiplexer can process MPEG-2 single program transport streams (SPTS) or multiple program transport stream (MPTS) inputs and will provide two separate MPEG-2 MPTS outputs and two gigabit ethernet outputs.
Using the remote management software, it is possible to edit the structure and parameters of the input transport streams and carry out the following functions:

• Reference the video, audio and additional data for each input stream
• Automatic EIT processing and multiplexing
• Filter out empty or redundant transport streams
• Edit the packet identifier (PID) as required to integrate streams with others with the same PID details
• Obtain program specific information (PSI) and service information (SI) for streams allowing this information to be integrated with local data
• Reprocesses the program clock reference (PCR) using the system time clock (STC)
