The module is equipped with four video/stereo audio inputs. The fed in ana- logues signals are digitized and supplied to an encoder that encodes them in real time. The stereo audio signals are transferred via an adjustable amplifier to the encoder. At the Ethernet socket (RJ45) up to four SPTS transport streams or one MPTS transport stream (Multi Programme Transportstreams) according to UDP or RTP protocol is output.
