Multiplexer

The MC3000 (4RU chassis) and the MC3100 (1RU chassis) are based on a flexible platform hosting different modules allowing for a wide range of different configurations tailored to specific customer needs. The products supports signal reception, descrambling, scrambling and multiplexing.

The MC3000/MC3100 can host multiple inputs such as IP, ASI, DVB-S/S2, DVB-T and DVB-C. ASI, IP and QAM output interfaces are available all supporting multiplexing including full regeneration of PSI/SI tables. The MC3000/MC3100 advanced multiplex software support up to 250 services simplifies deployment and operational routines. The combination of a wide range of input interfaces, descrambling, re-scrambling and advanced re-multiplexing functionality makes the MC3000 ideal for new and existing cable, terrestrial and satellite operators.

The MC3000 or MC3100 can be seamlessly integrated with existing head-end solutions or used as a regional multiplexer.


A turn key head-end solution

The MC3000/MC3100 is a Carrier Grade multiplxer for Professional Operators. The MC3000/MC3100 is a compact solution removing the need for multiple boxes for reception, descrambling, scrambling and multiplexing reducing both capital and operational expenditures. The MC3000/MC3100 has Gbit capacity and handles all signal processing internally.

Appear TV's MC3000/MC3100 offers a high performance QAM output module for direct insertion of digital services into the cable network. Based on a full digital-modulation and upconversion architecture, the QAM Output module delivers a clearer signal, and makes future upgrades easier.

Developed specifically for digital cable operators, makes it the ideal solution for deployments requiring aggregation of services from multiple sources, service processing and preparation for QAM broadcast over cable networks.
