The ATX GigaPass is a QAM-to-IP media gateway designed to pass encrypted video from existing edge QAM equipment through IP-based CCAP video cores or directly to the CIN. The solution features a modular design and market-leading density that delivers up to 320 processed QAMs in a single RU. It is the ideal solution for enabling MSOs to address video encryption licensing and interoperability issues that threaten to delay their transition to a distributed access architecture (DAA) model, as well as providing smaller MSOs with an alternative to implementing costly and complex CCAP video cores.
