The MX8400 Multiplexer is capable of creating up to a maximum of eight 
independent transport stream outputs. Each ASI output can be individually 
configured. For example, a single transport stream maybe sent to all ASI outputs or 
a different transport stream may be sent to each ASI output. 
A transport stream carried via the Ethernet Data GbE output interface may also be 
sent via an ASI output port. All ASI interfaces are configured via nCompass Control.
