12-Channel SDI Encoder & RF Modulator – Advanced Headend Solution for Broadcast Systems

FMUSER 12-Channel SDI Encoder & RF Modulator: Advanced Headend Solution for Professional Broadcast Systems

1. Advanced Multichannel SDI-to-RF Modulation Solution

FMUSER’s 12-Channel SDI Encoder & RF Modulator delivers a future-ready, high-density solution for modern broadcast and CATV/IPTV systems. This 1RU compact unit integrates 12 SD/HD/3G-SDI inputs, ATSC/QAM256 RF modulation, and 256 IPTV TS inputs, enabling seamless aggregation of up to 1080p60 video streams into 16 non-adjacent RF carriers (COAX/CATV) and 16 synchronized IPTV MPTS streams. Built for efficiency, its advanced QAM256 modulation supports 6MHz channel bandwidth with 38Mbps throughput, allowing up to four 9Mbps programs per frequency—ideal for optimizing spectrum use and creating virtual subchannels (e.g., 7.1-7.4).

Key features include ultra-low latency processing for live broadcasts, VCT configuration for simplified channel numbering in existing CATV lineups, optional ASI output for legacy systems, and dual GE ports for IP redundancy. The modular design consolidates encoding, multiplexing, scrambling, and modulation into a single device, reducing rack space and infrastructure costs while enabling effortless scalability—combine multiple units for large-scale deployments.

Trusted in hospitality, healthcare, education, and large venues, FMUSER’s solution prioritizes broadcast-grade clarity with premium chipsets, closed caption support, and hybrid IP-RF workflows. Its precision engineering ensures reliability in mission-critical environments, offering unmatched flexibility to unify SDI, IP, and RF signals into a cost-effective, future-proof broadcast network.
