- Page 12 4. Settings (continued) COFDM For [COFDM] (DVB-T) output you can select Output channel (E2 to E69) or Frequency and Output signal attenuation (0 to -31dB). You can also select bandwidth (6,7 or 8 MHz). The maximum output TS bit rate in COFDM is 31,67 Mbps.
- Page 13 DVB-T: 8193 to 13568 DVB-C: 40961 to 65281 (ComHem in Sweden use 41001 and up) The ESX-200 is designed to perform remultiplexing automatically of both audio and video streams as well as full remultiplexing and regeneration of PSI/SI data. The advantage for you as a user is lower risk of failure and that the process is much less time consuming.
