The MUX-2D-QAM is designed to allow CATV operators to multiplex two digital channels received in
either 8VSB or QAM format to a single QAM output channel for delivery over a standard coaxial distribu­tion network.

It accepts up to two (2) 8VSB or clear QAM channels and aggregates them onto one QAM RF output in
the 54-864 MHz range. The MUX-2D-QAM provides the capability to filter program streams and to assign
major/minor or a single 4-digit channel number to each.

The MUX-2D-QAM also provides Emergency Alert System (EAS) program switching through ASI input
and terminal block contacts. The EAS input source, which must be in ASI format, can be shared among
multiple MUX-2D-QAM units by looping it from one to another unit without the need for external splitting
and amplification.

Features

• Supports MPEG-2 Transport Stream Tables: PAT, PMT, MGT, RRT, STT, & VCT

• Re-maps duplicate PIDs, Program Numbers, and Minor Channel Numbers

• Allows sharing of the EAS input source among multiple units

• User-defined major/minor or 4-digit CATV virtual channels

• EAS input replaces up to 12 program streams

• Supports PID filtering & PSIP re-assignment

• Provides QAM 256 Output at 38.8 Mbps

• Accepts ASI input as EAS input source

• User-defined QAM Output Parameters

• Maintains MPEG-2 mapping
