The IPTV mode is ideal for cherry-picking applications and to allow operators to create custom-made channel lineups by grooming SD and HD programs on an asneeded basis. The RF QAM mode is suitable for distribution over coaxial networks, and each input ASI stream can contain up to three programs – typical for digital off-air broadcasting applications. The multiplexer is Emergency Alert System (EAS) compliant in both modes – the operator can assign ASI port #12 as an EAS input which, when activated, will override the content of all other ASI inputs. Comprehensive remote monitoring and control is accomplished via a GUI-based interface using any standard Web browser.
