The FlexCoder is a versatile solution that combines edge
QAM, off-air transcoding, and IP grooming technology
into one integrated package. The unit can convert ASI to
IP video streams as well as Mux, and Demux ASI and IP
streams. An RF input option is available for transcoding
8VSB (digital off-air) to clear QAM, ASI or IP signals. By
providing a wide-range of functionality in a compact
solution, the FlexCoder brings remarkable cost savings.
The FlexCoder is an ideal solution for video labs and
campus environments when you need to provide a custom
channel line-up for in-house distribution.
