Description

The MCX8000 multi-carrier satellite gateway is a high density, high availability, fully redundant slotted-based modular system designed for Direct-To-Home (DTH) broadcasting, primary distribution to head ends and OTT delivery of video and audio content. Thanks to its slotted based architecture, the MCX8000 system provides a 3 in 1 solution designed to reduce down-time and simplify operational support costs with two hot-swappable modem modules, hot-swappable power supply units and an integrated 1+1 redundancy switch. All hot-swappable modules on the MCX8000 can be added or removed without any special tools or affecting the operation of the other modules on the device.

Built upon the M(DM)6100 and MCX70000 software suites capabilities, the MCX8000 can provide up to four 133 Msps carriers to be modulated with full support of the DVB satellite standards up to DVB-S2X. Transport streams embedded in one of the received carriers can be output (or transmodulated) on one of the eight (optional) ASI or four Ethernet ports. The same data interfaces can be used as input ports for the modulator. The MCX8000 also features a web-based GUI dashboard designed to guide you through the configuration of the MCX8000 and align it with any use case.
