The Arris DM 6400 CherryPicker delivers unparalleled
quality and reliability for networking, distributing and
processing both standarddefinition (SD) and high-definition (HD) services. It offers a wide
array of digital video applications, including grooming of custom channel lineups, rate shaping
and statistical remultiplexing, localized digital ad insertion, and Graphic overlay and
SqueezeBack.
The DM 6400 is a compact (1 RU) chassis with five slots which can be equipped with either 4
port ASI or GbE modules
