Visium MD8 Multimedia Gateway
ATX’s Visium MD8 3RU chassis supports up to 8 Visium blades. It is designed to deliver Pay-TV content to non-residential locations, including hotels, hospitals, sports arenas, businesses, and multi-dwelling units (MDUs). The platform supports satellite, cable and IPTV operators. A version of the MD8 optimized for satellite operators has a built-in wideband satellite switch that reduces cost and installation complexity. A combination of Visium blades optimizes the MD8 to source, process and broadcast over 200 HD channels in multiple formats, all while keeping the content secure, legal and manageable. The MD8’s SPF+ module supports 10G fiber connectivity and its compact size makes it ideal for high–bandwidth, space-constrained locations. Video from satellite, cable, multicast IP or streaming sources can be output into traditional broadcast networks, such as QAM, DVB-T and analog TV. It also supports multicast IP outputs and streaming HLS/Dash to mobile devices. Transcoding, watermarking, re-encryption and remote management also contribute to the Visium platform’s ability to reliably deliver secure and high-value content to private networks.
