The NXG-PI-IP-S is part of the Blonder Tongue NeXgen Gateway platform that adds Pro:Idiom encryption (digital content protection) to HDTV signals. The NXG-PI-IP-S module inputs MPEG-compliant transport streams through the NXG IP backplane. The Pro:Idiom encryption can be added to an SPTS format. The Pro:Idiom encrypted video content is then routed via the NXG IP backplane to the desired QAM or IP outputs for distribution.
