Description
The Model D9479 Gigabit QAM Modulator (GQAM)
represents an innovation in video transmission
technology. The GQAM contains five input ports
including four digital video broadcasting (DVB)
standard asynchronous serial interface (ASI) inputs
and a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) port.
The GQAM contains the core functionality of four of our Model D9477 MQAM Modulators.
One GQAM frees up a total of
seven
additional rack unit (RU) openings, thereby making
the GQAM an exceptional product for mass deployment of video-on-demand (VOD),
anything-
On-Demand (xOD), and other interactive broadcast services.
The four ASI inputs allow for direct connection to current generation video servers,
encoders, integrated receiver-decoders (IRDs), and other digital video sources at the
headend. The GbE interface allows for connection to the next generation of video
servers, either linked locally with the GQAM or remotely through a network.
Features
