Description:
The VistaLynx Edge QAM is a high density, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) to QAM product that offers non-stop, high performance operation for Video on Demand (VoD) services. It is ideal for cable operators requiring cost effective solutions for their digital video services.
The VistaLynx is optimized for GbE technology. It accepts a full line-rate GbE video transport feed into a single chassis, providing optimum efficiency and reducing switching costs by allowing customers to utilize the full capacity of their GbE links.
The modular design of the VistaLynx enhances scalability by making it easy to add more QAM channels as VoD demand grows. The number of QAM channels can be increased in increments of four to a maximum of 24 QAM channels. The modular design of the VistaLynx allows the customer to modular components, rather than an entire fixed configuration system. This lowers the cost of ownership for in-service video QAM equipment.
The VistaLynx is the highest density GbE QAM product available for digital video networks. The chassis accepts a minimum of two QAM cards and a maximum of six, for a total of 24 QAM channels in 1RU. Each QAM card contains two RF ports capable of generating two QAM channels per port. The QAM card employs a 2:1 block upconverter with two frequency agile, dual channel block outputs; its versatility allows the ports to be split across multiple service groups, providing even greater flexibility and easier spectrum management. Fully tested and interoperable with industry leading networking equipment, the VistaLynx is the key element in delivering the next generation of video. |
