This Mux-Scrambling and modulation module has adopted slot structure to allow
excellent integrated level, powerful performance and low cost make it adequate for
1) Hot-plugging Support
The daughter card is directly connected with the power supply through the
interface; even if being powered-on, any one of those three daughter cards can be
hot plugged in and out; other cards can still work normally without any

interference. the power plug
Different from the former multiplexing card principle, each card has its own
independent multiplexing and control unit and unlike the other manufacturer’s
similar products which will completely die when its backbone multiplexing board
fails, these 3 daughter cards are completely independent of each other. If anyone of
those 3 cards fails, the other two cards could still work normally due to its own
multiplexing and scrambling control unit. Hence, the reliability of the equipment
This module can not only be used as one IP mux-scrambling QAM module, but
also can be utilized to realize other purposes by its IP output function. The IP data
For example: An operator has one general DVB-C head-end and two
sub-head-ends. At the Main head-end, operator can directly transmit this QAM RF
output to the local HFC network, while at the sub-head-end side, the IP input of the
IP QAM can directly extract the multiplexed and scrambled IP TS from this
device’s IP output via a fiber link. In this case, the cards can be utilized to provide
Each daughter card has separate NMS ports, thus, the situation that the equipment
cannot be configured when the master card of single master plug-in equipment is
NOTE: If needed, we can also provide a module with 3 cards in 1 U chassis which
