IPQAM-801 DVB-C A/C Modulator IP to QAM User Manual Advice: max. DVB-C Channel bitrate can be 51.6Mb/s in a Transportstream but we recommend to give the QAM a little overhead of 10%. So 5 Mbit should be left in the calculations of your stream reception to avoid the distortion of all channels transmitted when heavy bitrate peaks are overloading the channel.
Page 23
Note: We recommend to control and check the configured Transport-Stream Values with a TS analyser like a DekTec Fantasi (can be obtained from IRENIS GmbH) and the corresponding Software like stream-Expert either at the ASI out and / or the SPTS and MPTS streams.
