ATX at Expo: MDU, Hospitality

At Cable-Tec Expo in Atlanta, ATX Networks will be highlighting its MDU and hospitality products, including the DigiStream EPG, live and stored content streaming platform for hospitality and bulk account environments, and the UCrypt bulk content transition platform.The DigiStream platform is designed to enable the HD delivery of an electronic program guide (EPG) and pre-generated or live local content to the overall lineup. The EPG can be customized to any channel lineup and configured to display current programming information. Video or graphical content files (including PowerPoint) can be uploaded remotely and set to play out at desired times/days using a built-in scheduler. It can also accommodate insertion of live baseband inputs. The DigiStream device is designed for HD/SD, MPEG-2/H.264 encoding and output in QAM or IP.ATX's QAM-to-QAM (Q2Q) SD version of the UCrypt line aims at reducing costs while reclaiming analog spectrum in MDUs and hotel properties with digital TVs. The rack-mounted unit is intended to eliminate the need for DTAs. New features of the UCrypt line include support for MPEG-4/H.264, a guide channel, and PSIP functionality.
