Headend Overview
5
Introduction
The TDX cabinet is designed to accommodate up to 16 input modules
and 6 quad output modules. Up to three TDX headends can be
combined as one system of up to 48 input muxes and 72 output
channels.
The TDX headend system accommodates up to 490 services.
All incoming signals from input modules initially arrive in the TDX
service-pool, where conversion to defined output signals occurs, after
which the converted signals are fed to output modules.
