Toner Cable MX8400 Multiplexer - Manual

A wide choice of cost-effective designs together with integration of any
new technology is strived for by all broadcasters and operators. The
introduction of IP interconnectivity offers a means to reduce infrastruc-
ture costs, increase flexibility and offer a choice of system architectures.
The MX8400, when part of an iSIS 8000® system, revolutionizes IP
multiplexing technology. Providing up to eight independent multiplexed
transport streams from a single enclosure and with built-in support for
DVB Common Scrambling Algorithm for content protection and BISS,
MX8400 facilitates numerous system architectures.
Suitable for a wide range of multiplexing and re-multiplexing applications, its designed to offer system level redundancy and
ease of operations. MX8400 is a feature rich product that also supports ASI input and output, SFN Adaptation, SMPTE 2022
Pro-MPEG FEC and Reflex™ Statistical Multiplexing. Fully integrated with nCompass Control by Ericsson, the MX8400
takes full advantage of the IP technology to provide a costeffective,
highly reliable and flexible solution. Dual hot swap PSUs option available for additional resilience.

Multiplexer
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Ideal for Primary Multiplexing in Central Headend
The MX8400 is a new generation of multiplexer that is suitable for a
wide range of multiplexing and re-multiplexing applications - including
primary multiplexing in headends for DTH satellite, cable and terrestri-
al, contribution systems and re-multiplexing applications in central and
regional headends.
Multiple Multiplexed Transport Stream Outputs
MX8400 offers a unique design concept that offers up to eight
independent multiplexed transport streams to reduce costs and sim-
plify designs, enabling systems to grow as the need demands.
Statistical Multiplexing
Ericsson’s Reflex Statistical Multiplexing is implemented to work over
IP networks to provide the maximum utilization of available bit-rate.
Supports both MPEG-2 SD and HD and MPEG-4 AVC SD and HD.
Enabling Cost-Effective Redundant and Resilient System
Architectures
MX8400 offers a fully redundant architecture in combination with
nCompass Control that enables implementation of cost-effective and
resilient system architectures; MX8400 supports redundant external
clocks, Data, CA and Control ports. Support of IGMPv3 allows
MX8400 to perform multicast joins and leaves to further simplify sys-
tem design.
Advanced Control and Monitoring Features
With nCompass Control, the MX8400 offers advanced control and
monitoring features that allows for ease of use and maintenance -
leading to savings through operational costs, time and labor.
Increased Reliability
The highly integrated unit facilitates the need for fewer units and thus
increases the overall system reliability.
