GT 23 W Tangram module IP to 8 or 12x QAM

Category : Tangram

The GT 23 W module is part of the Tangram product portfolio and provides the conversion from IP signals to QAM channels (digital TV programms). GT 23 W supports a numerous of IP inputs with SPTS VBR/CBR and MPTS CBR, multiplexing and demultiplexing, PSI/SI regneration, content encryption and can modulate up to 12 QAM channels with different standards (DVB-C/J.83 Annex A and C). Tangram is a very high density and highly flexible solution for all kinds of networks. The WISI Tangram chassis uses a fully redundant concept (n+1, 1+1).

  • High quality IP to QAM modulation
  • Up to 12 QAM channels on 2 RF outputs
  • High density 72 QAM channels in 1 RU
  • For measurement / monitoring test ports of the output signal
  • DVB CSA Simulcrypt scrambling
  • RTP/ IP input streaming with FEC error correction
  • DVB/ARIB transport stream processing
  • QAM channels individually switchable on/off
