The Ampex Multiplexer (Mux) Product Line consists o
Internal and External configurations.
Both configurations are Demultiplexed via software on a
Windows / Linux-based platform on Ampex Model DSRs
410/420 Ground Playback Systems. The Mux products are
designed for miniature, rugged, and harsh airborne
environmelints. Both units feature IRIG 106 Chapter 10
compliant packetization. The Internal Mux unit is
configurable with multiple channels, and uses the custom
slot in a DSRs Solid State / Disk Recorder. The External
Mux is designed to meet requirements for larger numbers
of channels. The multiplexer can be integrated as a logical
extension of the DSRs and DDRs Family of Recorders, or
as a stand alone unit interfaced to any of the Ampex
Instrumentation Recorders (DDRs/DSRs/DCRsi/DIS).
