1.1 Introduction
The Comtech EF Data (CEFD) Digicast Micro Encapsulator – referred to throughout this
manual as “the MENCAP 50” – is the most economical IP Encapsulator (IPE) available
in the market today and provides unparalleled price versus performance.
The MENCAP 50 encapsulates Ethernet/IP Unicast or Multicast packets, as specified by
DVB Multiprotocol Encapsulation (MPE) recommendation (documented in ETSI EN 301
192) and formats the sections into MPEG-2 transport packets for transmission over an
Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) link.
