Product Description
The ATX Networks PDATSC-IP is an advanced device for digital broadcasting headend systems. It serves as an ATSC receiver and re-multiplexer, perfect for injecting local off-air ATSC programming into local digital cable or IP headend systems, such as ATX Network's top - selling CONDOR system. This unit comes with six ATSC tuners and two ASI inputs. Each input can be de - multiplexed and included in either of the two output multiplexes. You can choose any input for any output multiplex. The two output multiplexes are available via both ASI (two each) and IP.
Key Features:
- Integrates demodulation and multiplexing functions.
- Two ASI inputs for re - multiplexing.
- Six ATSC tuner inputs for re - multiplexing.
- Precise PCR re - adjustment.
- Supports PID re - mapping and filtering.
- Two independent output TS multiplexes.
- Supports TSoIP output as a mirror of ASI outputs.
- Supports PSI/SI and PSIP tables.
- A large multiplex buffer prevents overflows.
- Full front - panel control.
- SNMP control available.
- Complies with ISO13818 and ATSC A/53 standards.
Technical Specifications:
- Input Interface: 2 ASI and 6 ATSC 8VSB tuners.
- Re - Multiplex: 2 x MPEG TS re - multiplex with PID re - mapping (auto/manual), PCR re - stamping, stream grooming, null packet removal, and auto - generation/edition of PSI/SI and PSIP tables.
- Input Packet Format: 204/188 self - adaption.
- Output Port: 2 x independent ASI output channels (two ports each, up to 210 Mbps), 2 x IP UDP streams (unicast or multicast) via RJ - 45, GbE Ethernet.
- PID Output Range: 0 x 0000 to 0 x 1FFF, any PID transparent and mapping possible, 64 output PIDs per input.

Using the ATX Networks PDATSC - IP is straightforward. First, connect your inputs. You can use the six ATSC tuners or the two ASI inputs according to your needs. Once connected, you can start de - multiplexing the inputs and choose which ones to include in the output multiplexes. You have the flexibility to select any input for any output multiplex.
When it comes to the output, you can use either the ASI ports or the IP connections. The unit supports TSoIP output as a mirror of the ASI outputs, so you can choose the option that suits your setup best.
Here are some important notes. Make sure the operating temperature stays between 0 °C and 45 °C. The power supply should be within the specified voltage and frequency ranges (AC 110 V +/- 10 %, 50 Hz / 60 Hz or AC 220 V +/- 10 %, 50 Hz / 60 Hz).
For maintenance, keep the unit clean and free from dust. Since it has a large multiplex buffer to prevent overflows, you don't need to worry too much about data congestion. But it's still a good idea to regularly check the connections and settings. If you encounter any issues, you can use the full front - panel control or the SNMP control for troubleshooting. And remember, the unit comes with a 3 - year warranty, so you're covered for any major problems during that time.
