1.1 General Information
The Harmonic ProView 7000 is a single rack unit (1RU) scalable receiver, DVB descrambler,
multi-format video decoder and MPEG stream processor. The modular ProView 7000
addresses the full spectrum of content reception applications from single channel decoding
to descrambling and re-multiplexing of multiple transport streams.
1.2 Main ProView 7000 Applications
1.2.1 TS Descrambling Applications
The ProView 7000 is designed to economically meet the needs of digital turn around
operators. Using its on-board dual DVB common interfaces, the ProView 7000 descrambles
and re-multiplexes selected services from up to four
1
transport streams. The ProView 7000
enables operators to create new SPTS or MPTS transport streams comprised of re-
multiplexed services from the original stream(s). Programs can be output over IP or ASI.
1. A license is required for more than one transport stream.
