The Gearbox™ ISDB-Tb 8 Tuners/IP 52ch is a real time multichannel streamer, integrated RF receiver, and transcoder designed to receive ISDBTb signals and transform them into streams that are best suited for customers. It is designed to be scalable, easily adaptable, and field upgradeable to meet the needs of cable and IP network operators who are very comfortable with embedded Linux® based appliances. It relies on an Intel® 16 Core CPU as an accelerator. We have also optimized the transcode engine for reliability, efficiency, and flexibility.
