vxFlex
One modular 1RU chassis running the whole vxApps stack - vxTranscoder Live, vxTransrater and vxOTT Gateway - behind reception frontends for DVB, ATSC and ISDB-T. IPTV services and ABR ladders leave through an embedded origin server.
One appliance. Every reception frontend.
vxFlex is the vxOS architecture proven in a single box: multiple vxApps products fitted together, with reception frontends for DVB, ATSC, ISDB-T and more, managed from one UI.
Software that already runs your headend - in one chassis.
The same software that scales across racks runs here on six slots. It manages one-to-one and one-to-many scenarios, builds IPTV services and ABR ladders that stay in sync, and distributes them via DASH and HLS from an embedded origin server.
- Reception, processing and delivery in one 1RU unit
- Expand over time - add cards, not chassis
- One UI for sophisticated acquisition and preparation scenarios
One box. One UI. The whole signal chain.
Six slots. Any combination.
One 1RU chassis - the whole headend inside
vxFlex · Expansion Cards · Examples
ATSC · DVB-S/S2/S2X FTA Receiver
4× LNB/RF input for tuning and passing multicast directly to output or to the Multi-Purpose Card.
DVB-T/T2 · ISDB-T/DVB-C · DVB-S/S2/S2X Receiver
4CH LNB/RF input for tuning, descrambling and passing multicast to output or to the Multi-Purpose Card.
Multi-Purpose Card
Transcoding, packaging for DASH and HLS, and recording - the processing core of the chassis.
SDI / HDMI / CVBS Encoder
2CH SDI · 2/4/8CH HDMI · 2/6/8CH CVBS. Encodes 2 to 8 SD/HD channels in H.264, MPEG-2 or HEVC.
8VSB · OFDM · QAM · ISDB-T Modulator
1× RF female connector (75Ω) generating 4 or 8 frequencies in 8VSB, OFDM, QAM or ISDB-T.
IPQAM Modulator
3× 1Gbps + SFP+ 10Gbps input, RF output. Up to 512 channels across max 32 non-adjacent QAM channels.
Two processing paths. One output.
Every input frontend feeds a shared processing core, routed through decryption or transcoding depending on the workflow.
Modular by design. Dense by default.
From card-level flexibility to cluster-wide routing and monitoring.
Full input, output and processing coverage.
One appliance spanning reception, processing, encryption and management.

The vxApps stack, condensed into one box.
vxFlex runs the same software as the rack-scale deployments - so a chassis in a regional headend behaves exactly like the central site.
vxTranscoder
The same transcoding engine that runs at rack scale, here on the Multi-Purpose Card - ABR ladders and IPTV services from any input codec.
vxOTT Gateway
Packaging and the embedded origin server. HLS and DASH leave the chassis without a separate packaging tier.
vxDRM Gateway
Native key exchange via CPIX for Widevine, FairPlay and PlayReady - encrypted in the same pass as packaging.
vxCDN Server
Streams leaving vxFlex are served as regular segments - one cache for the whole delivery footprint.
One browser tab runs the whole chassis.
vxFlex is operated through the vxOS web console - module status, packagers, tasks and metrics for all six slots in a single interface, without a CLI.
