Pico Digital's PD1600 is an ultra-compact "headend in a box" for the secure delivery of cable, satellite, and IPTV content to MDUs, headend in the sky (HITS) and hospitality video clients. Offering the performance, functionality, and broadcast-approved security features of a traditional multi-rack headend within a compact 5RU form factor, the high-density PD1600 decodes, decrypts, re-encrypts and rebroadcasts content in IP, QAM or analog NTSC output, while providing end-to-end content protection from uplink to the TV. Scaling from a few channels to 96 transponders of video content, the PD1600 platform offers the highest density available on the market, the lowest cost per HD channel and an unmatched feature set.
