HCS6320 Functional Blocks The HCS6320 consists of four main functional blocks: • MUX: Four parallel multiplexers, each of which can combine up to two encrypted transport streams into a single 38 Mbps transport stream. The transport streams from the transcoder cards are supplied to the HCS6320 through the internal backplane circuit board of the card frame. • MOD: Four parallel 256-QAM modulators that take the MUX output streams and produce four modulated outputs.
