Professional FM-MPX IP codecs with Optional MicroMPX Encoding and Satellite Tuner
Tieline’s MPX I and MPX II codecs deliver composite FM multiplex (MPX) codec solutions for real-time network distribution of FM-MPX or MicroMPX (μMPX) signals to transmitter sites. The MPX I is ideal for transmitting a composite STL signal from a single station with return monitoring, whereas the Tieline MPX II can transport two discrete composite FM-MPX signals from the studio to transmitters with return monitoring.
- Encode/Decode up to two point-to-point MPX/μMPX composite signals
