The Comtech EF Data (CEFD) DVB IP Encapsulator (IPE) provides the highest packet processing
performance on the market today.
The CMR-8500 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 frames for transmission over an Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) link
or Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface over Code of Practice 3 (CoP3) as outlined by the ProMPEG
specification.
The CMR-8500 DVB IP Encapsulator is available in the following configurations:
• Standalone unit
• 1:1 Redundant system
