32-Channel IP to CATV RF Gateway with Built-in H.264 to MPEG-2 Transcoder

32-Channel IP to CATV RF Gateway with Integrated H.264 to MPEG2 Transcoding

FMUSER’s 32-Channel IP-to-CATV RF Gateway integrates advanced H.264-to-MPEG2 transcoding with edge QAM modulation, offering a future-proof solution for broadcasters and system integrators addressing compatibility challenges in North America. While H.264 dominates IP and satellite streaming, legacy CATV networks across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico rely on MPEG2 video paired with Dolby AC3 audio for RF signal transmission. This device bridges the gap by efficiently transcoding live IP streams—such as those from satellite gateways or IPTV platforms—into MPEG2-compliant formats, ensuring seamless playback on legacy TVs and QAM tuners. With adjustable bitrates (1–19 Mbps), it supports flexible bandwidth optimization for high-quality HD content delivery. The integrated RF QAM modulator enables multi-channel output across DVB-C, ATSC, ISDB, and DVB-T/T2 standards, making it ideal for large-scale CATV, hospitality, or MDU deployments. Featuring IP input and RF output ports, this streaming live modulator simplifies signal distribution while eliminating compatibility bottlenecks. Designed for reliability, it supports edge QAM modulation, clear QAM, and ATSC standards, empowering integrators to future-proof legacy systems, reduce infrastructure costs, and scale IP-to-RF workflows effortlessly. Whether deploying IPTV modulators, RF CATV modulators, or hybrid QAM converters, FMUSER’s solution ensures broadcast-grade performance for mission-critical applications—contact us to optimize your signal distribution strategy.
