Cascade T16IP IPTV Tuner

The Cascade T16IP 16 Channel IPTV Tuner provides unprecedented functionality for receiving digital television signals and turning them around to IPTV. The VideoPropulsion T16IP is capable of receiving up to 16 DTV RF signals. Versions are available for 8VSB or QAM Annex A, B, or C. Associated with each tuner are 2 DVB-CI compliant CAM connectors that accept SmartCard carriers for content decryption.

16 individual F type connectors are provided for the input of DTV RF signals. DTV programs are demodulated, optionally decrypted and de-multiplexed, and can be routed to either of two Gigabit Ethernet connections using either UDP or RTP protocols
