5 Mbps Encapsulator
IPE-4000 5 Mbps Encapsulator
International Datacasting 5 Mbps IPE-4000 MPEG-2 DVB IP Encapsulator provides the necessary link between IP networks and broadband DVB or ATSC networks. The IP Encapsulator IPE-4000 enables cost effective point-to-multipoint content delivery.
Solid State
The IDC IPE-4000 is a solid state, fully embedded, Linux-based IP Encapsulator. The 4000 series receives IP packets from an Ethernet connection and encapsulates selected packets into an MPEG-2 transport stream per DVB or ATSC specifications. Once the IPE has encapsulated the data, it forwards the data packets based on the user configurations. The output transport stream can then be forwarded to a multiplexer or directly to a modulator for the high performance and cost saving transmission of IP data over cable, satellite or terrestrial networks.
