Motorola TMX-2010 Transport Multiplexer

The TMX-2010 Transport Multiplexer is Motorola's new generation modular solution for MPEG-2 service multiplexing, grooming, video bitrate transcoding, video splicing, IP data encapsulation, and encoder management for digital broadcast, satellite, and cable distribution. The TMX-2010 accepts MPEG-2 packetized transport streams via standard transport input interfaces, as well as UDP/IP multicast data Ethernet input for standards-based encapsulation within MPEG-2 transport. Optionally, Motorola's

high-quality video bitrate transcoding algorithms can be utilized for remultiplexing input variable or constant rate SD and/or HD video services into a statistically multiplexed group of user-defined bandwidth. Also, standard-based digital program insertion (DPI) is supported through sophisticated MPEG-2 video splice processing. Motorola's intuitive TMX Element Manager control system allows for flexible selection from the input MPEG-2 services into one or more customized transport stream outputs.

The TMX-2010 provides standard output transport interfaces: DVB-ASI, GigE IP, DS-3, DHEI, and SMPTE-310 for interoperability across a variety of applications. The TMX-2010's option module architecture allows for flexible feature customization and future expandability.
