MPEG TS Multiplexers and Scramblers
A multiplexer assembles the transport streams a headend puts out: it merges single-programme streams into an MPTS, re-maps PIDs, regenerates PSI/SI tables and, where a scrambler is built in, applies DVB scrambling and EIT/EPG handling. It is the bookkeeping stage between the sources and the RF or IP output.
Headend core guide: how multiplexing, scrambling and the CAS/SMS stages fit together
Hanxing builds 15 multiplexer / scrambler models, each with a published Word datasheet. An MPEG TS multiplexer combines several single-programme transport streams into one multi-programme stream, re-maps the PIDs so the services keep their identity, and regenerates the PSI/SI tables the receivers read. Scrambling, EIT and EPG processing are the optional stages that sit in the same chain.

What does an MPEG TS multiplexer do in a multiplex, CAS or EPG chain?
An MPEG TS multiplexer combines several single-programme transport streams into one multi-programme stream, re-maps the PIDs so the services keep their identity, and regenerates the PSI/SI tables the receivers read. Scrambling, EIT and EPG processing are the optional stages that sit in the same chain.
How do I choose between a multiplexer, a modulator and an IP gateway?
A multiplexer decides what is in the stream — which services, which PIDs and what tables — and its output is still a transport stream over ASI or IP. A modulator turns that stream into RF, and an IP gateway only changes the interface. Add a mux when services have to be combined or re-mapped, not merely carried.
Where are these multiplexers and scramblers deployed?
The deployment fields below are the ones this range’s model pages publish, counted across the line: cable TV head-ends, digital headend systems, CAS integration projects and EPG or EIT handling for line-ups that must stay compliant with the receivers in the field.
- CAS integration and multi-platform content distribution1
- Digital TV head-end systems and CATV broadcasting1
- Digital TV headends1

How does the multiplexer / scrambler line differ from the neighbouring lines?
Each row below is the application copy already published for that product line on this site. Read the row that matches the signal you have in hand, then open the line it points to.
| Product line | What it is specified for |
|---|---|
| Multiplexer / Scrambler (this page) | Building the MPTS/SPTS line-up and CAS/EPG handling — transport-stream muxing, scrambling and EIT processing. |
| Modulator / Modem | Channel generation for DVB-T/C, ISDB-T, ATSC or QAM networks — local TV distribution, hospitality TV, and re-multiplexed regional line-ups. |
| IP Gateway | Interfacing between IP and ASI/RF legs of a headend — multicast to ASI conversion, IP backbones, and satellite or terrestrial feeds. |
| Encoder | Streaming and broadcast headends that need to turn HDMI or SDI sources into IP streams — IPTV platforms, hotel in-room TV, live event contribution, cable and DTT distribution. |

Multiplexer / Scrambler — buyer questions
What is a multiplexer used for in an MPEG TS multiplex, CAS or EPG chain?
Building the MPTS/SPTS line-up and CAS/EPG handling — transport-stream muxing, scrambling and EIT processing.
Which multiplexing functions and stream formats does this range publish?
The catalogue lists 15 Multiplexer / Scrambler models, and 15 of them carry a Word datasheet on this site. Multiplexing functions and formats published across this range: ETR289, ETSI 101 197, ETSI 103 197 (1); PID remapping (auto/manually optional) (1); PID remapping (automatically/ manually) (1) — the figures in brackets are the number of model pages in this range that publish that value. If a parameter you need is not published on the model page, ask us and we send it with the datasheet instead of estimating it.
What input counts, power and chassis size do these multiplexers use?
It is specified per model rather than per line. The datasheets published on this range's model pages state a power or consumption row for 6 of the 15 models (for example FUQ3514 — General: Consumption: ≤40W); a chassis dimension row for 8 of them (for example FUQ3504 — General: Dimensions: 482mm×300mm×44mm (WxLxH)); a weight row for 8 (for example FUQ4214: 2.0kg). Tell us the model you have shortlisted and we send the datasheet with the drawing, so power, rack space and connectors are confirmed before you order.
What is the lead time, and how do I get a price?
Quotations are factory-direct. Send the model number, or the channel count with the input and output formats you need, and we answer with the datasheet, the configuration and a written quotation. Lead time depends on the model and the position in our production schedule and is confirmed in the quotation, together with the air or sea freight options.
