4-Port Mux:

For composite STL systems, the 4-port mux (with composite option card) is used to

route and multiplex the composite signal to the QAM modulator.

5.8.2. 6-Port MUX (Ethernet/IP Interface)

Figure 5-14 6-Port MUX Front Panel

The MUX is documented in a separate user manual. Typical broadcast applications are

described here:

6-Port Mux:

For discrete STL systems, the 6-port mux (with Ethernet option card) is primarily used to

interface and multiplex an Ethernet data stream for transmission as a data channel.
