ARRIS/EGT Head End Micro HEMi QAM Encoder (4-Ch Shown)

The ARRIS Head End Micro (EGT HEMi) is another industry-changing smart approach to video processing. It is the industry’s only fully integrated digital video solution for local and edge channel insertion. EGT HEMi  is an integrated multi-channel encoder, multiplexer, modulator and upconverter. EGT HEMi seamlessly inserts locally encoded channels into an existing all digital network allowing operators to optimize the network by adding new channels or replacing existing digital channels within a QAM. The integrated RF Bypass switch protects the network against interruptions in service while the intelligent QAM protection defends the network channels from possible bandwidth over provisioning. EGT HEMi enables operators to meet basic contractual obligations while supporting an all digital rollout by converting existing local channels to digital.
