HEADEND APPARATUS AND VIDEO PROCESSING FOR CABLE NETWORK

摘要

PURPOSE: A head-end apparatus for cable network and a video processing method are provided to economically process various types of video service flows flowing into a head-end using the miniaturized head-end apparatus. CONSTITUTION: A head-end apparatus for cable network comprises the following: an M-CMTS(modular-cable modem termination system)(112) outputting a video stream based on the DOCSIS(data over cable service interface specification); a video processing unit(200) processing one of the video stream selected from the video stream based on the DOCSIS, a MPEG-2 TS video stream, or a video stream on IP(internet protocol) network; and a cable modem(130) receiving the processed video stream using HFC(hybrid fiber-coaxial) network(120).
