OPR-T16 ST-Mux Transcoder with ASI Price in Pakistan

SKYRS Pakistan Technical Specification Document Equipment: OPR-T16 Professional ST-Mux Transcoder with ASI Input/Output

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The OPR-T16 is a high-density, carrier-grade Stream Transcoder and Multiplexer (ST-Mux) designed for digital television headends, terrestrial broadcasting (DTMB/DVB-T2), and multi-channel IPTV operations. This enterprise hardware appliance bridges physical broadcast infrastructure and modern IP networks by integrating high-throughput IP processing with dedicated ASI (Asynchronous Serial Interface) hardware ports.

It is designed for real-time transcoding between H.264 (AVC), H.265 (HEVC), and MPEG-2 formats, while offering advanced transport stream multiplexing, PID remapping, and PSI/SI table generation. Distributed by SKYRS across Pakistan, the OPR-T16 provides the reliability and processing power required to manage dense metropolitan television networks and national satellite downlinks.

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES

• High-Density Bidirectional Transcoding: Simultaneously processes multiple channels of high-definition or standard-definition video across various codecs (H.265, H.264, MPEG-2).

• Advanced Hardware ASI Matrix: Equipped with physical BNC ASI input and output interfaces for direct connection to legacy satellite receivers, modulators, and scramblers.

• Integrated Stream Multiplexing: Built-in ST-Mux engine supports comprehensive PID filtering, remapping, program parsing, and auto-generation of PSI/SI (PAT, PMT, NIT, SDT) tables.

• Carrier-Grade Protocol Engine: Natively handles SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), UDP, RTP, RTSP, RTMP, and HLS protocols for seamless IP-to-IP and ASI-to-IP routing.

• Dynamic Bitrate & Resolution Scaling: Real-time trans-rating and downscaling capabilities to adapt high-bandwidth backbone feeds for local broadband or mobile network distribution.

• Industrial Fault Tolerance: Designed for 24/7/365 uninterrupted headend operations with automatic data path bypass options and continuous input signal monitoring.

REGIONAL PRODUCT VARIANTS FOR SKYRS PAKISTAN

To address the specific infrastructural constraints, legacy cable configurations, and high-tier fiber layouts found across major cities in Pakistan, the OPR-T16 ST-Mux is available in four specialized hardware variants:

OPR-T16-BASE (Standard Broadcast Edition)

• Core Configuration: 4 x ASI Interfaces (2 In / 2 Out) + Dual Gigabit IP Ports. Optimized for baseline H.264/MPEG-2 transcoding and multiplexing.

• Primary Deployment Locations: Mid-tier cable networks, digital headends, and localized distribution setups in Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Hyderabad, and Sukkur.

OPR-T16-HEVC (H.265 Enterprise Transcoder)

• Core Configuration: Upgraded internal hardware DSP modules providing full-density H.265 encoding/decoding. Cuts core network transport bandwidth requirements by half.

• Primary Deployment Locations: High-efficiency IP networks, digital terrestrial backhauls, and long-distance video links serving Peshawar, Quetta, and rural regional hubs.

OPR-T16-MAX (High-Density 8-ASI Edition)

• Core Configuration: Expanded physical interface suite featuring 8 x fully independent BNC ASI hardware ports alongside integrated 10G SFP+ network lines.

• Primary Deployment Locations: Major national media broadcast hubs, central teleports, and large-scale metro FTTH headends in Karachi (Korangi/I.I. Chundrigar) and Lahore (Gulberg/DHA).

OPR-T16-SRT (Secure Cloud Transport Edition)

• Core Configuration: Features an integrated low-latency SRT gateway encryption chip alongside standard multiplexing logic, allowing stable video ingestion over lossy public internet links.

• Primary Deployment Locations: Inter-city master control room links, secure remote studio feeds, and cross-provincial network links operating out of Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

TARGET APPLICATION SCENARIOS IN PAKISTAN

• Digital Cable (DVB-C) Headend Consolidation: Allows traditional cable operators to aggregate various scrambled satellite feeds via ASI, remap and clean the PID tables, transcode them into efficient bitrates, and output them cleanly to QAM modulators.

• Satellite-to-IP Gateway Operations: Bridges high-value incoming satellite transponder streams directly onto local metropolitan fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks as localized IPTV multicast streams.

• Nationwide Media Content Localization: Enables broadcast networks to ingest a single master national feed, strip out redundant regional channels via the built-in ST-Mux, inject local city advertisement streams, and re-transmit tailored programming to separate local markets.
