FloodGate FG-422D Transcoder
The FloodGate FG-422D delivers content with Pro:Idiom encryption technology, a Hollywood accepted standard for protecting content in commercial environments including hotels, motels, timeshares, hospitals, assisted living residences and other bulk commercial locations. System installation is straightforward for DIRECTV integrators and resellers. Each DIRECTV COM23 receiver outputs streams via an Ethernet port on the receiver. Ethernet streams are aggregated and managed through a VLAN capable switch and a FloodGate Provisioner, into an Ethernet input port on the FloodGate.
The FloodGate Manager interface allows you to intuitively manage receiver status, upload a channel lineup, and start and stop service. FloodGates QAM modulate the HD programming over the existing coax cable infrastructure. DIRECTV HD programming is transported using MPEG-4 transport streams which the FG-422D re-encodes in MPEG-2. The FloodGate configures up to 2 MPEG-2 channels per QAM channel, delivering content to MPEG-2 compatible commercial TV’s. Management tools are included to enable proactive remote service resolution.
