Description
IPAT (IP-ASI Trasncoder) is a bi-directional IP
ASI transcoder that accepts MPEG2/4-encoded input streams
in 1000Base-T Ethernet (GbE) and ASI formats simultaneously. GbE input is transcoded to ASI output, while ASI
input is transcoded to GbE output.

or QAM with the optional RF Out module
Two factory-installed optional modules (the RF IN & the RF OUT) allow QAM/8VSB input & QAM output,
rendering the product suitable for a wider range of applications.
