Lemco Pro Line Series: Next-Generation 1U Rack Digital Headends for Hotels and IPTV Networks
Modern hospitality venues, residential complexes, hospitals, and cable TV operators face growing demand for reliable, high-definition television distribution. Whether delivering content over traditional coaxial cabling or modern Gigabit IPTV infrastructure, system integrators need compact hardware that combines maximum flexibility with 24/7 operational stability. The Lemco Pro Line series answers this challenge with a complete family of all-in-one 1U rack-mounted digital headends, now available with worldwide shipping at DVBMarket.com.
One Unified 1U Platform for Every Broadcast Scenario
Instead of combining multiple external servers, transmodulators, and switches, the Lemco Pro Line series consolidates signal reception, descrambling, encoding, and modulation into a single 19-inch 1U chassis. Driven by a powerful quad-core 1.8 GHz processor running a stable Linux operating system, the lineup covers every possible input and output requirement.
Lemco PLF Series (Free-To-Air RF Reception)
Designed for unencrypted broadcasts, the PLF-200, PLF-201, and PLF-202 convert up to 16 satellite (DVB-S/S2/S2X), terrestrial (DVB-T/T2), or cable (DVB-C) inputs directly into Gigabit IPTV streams. For installations requiring simultaneous coaxial distribution, the PLF-300, PLF-301, and PLF-302 add 16 software-selectable DVB-T or DVB-C RF output channels alongside IP streaming.
Lemco PLC Series (Pay-TV Descrambling with FlexCAM)
When projects involve encrypted pay-TV channels, the PLC-200, PLC-201, and PLC-202 (IP output) alongside the PLC-300, PLC-301, and PLC-302 (16x DVB-T/C RF and IP output) integrate 8 Common Interface slots. Powered by FlexCAM technology, these slots are decoupled from fixed tuners, allowing operators to route encrypted services from any of the 16 inputs through any available CAM module.
Lemco PLH Series (Full HD HDMI Encoding)
For distributing local video sources such as set-top boxes, media players, digital signage, or security cameras, the PLH series offers high-density H.264 encoding up to 1080p. Integrators can choose between 8-input models (PLH-210 for IP output, PLH-310 for 8x DVB-T/C and IP) or 16-input flagships (PLH-200 for IP output, PLH-300 for 16x DVB-T/C and IP).
Lemco PLI-400 (High-Capacity IP-to-RF Transmodulation)
Where channels arrive over fiber or IP networks but must be delivered to rooms over existing coaxial cables, the PLI-400 receives up to 128 SPTS or 16 MPTS IPTV streams and modulates them into 16 pristine DVB-T or DVB-C RF channels.
Smart Pool Technology and Embedded Fleex IPTV Middleware
Every Pro Line headend features Lemco Pool technology, giving technicians total freedom to select any incoming TV or radio program from any RF, HDMI, or IP source and route it to any outgoing RF multiplex or IP stream. Custom NIT/SDT tables, PID filtering, PCR correction, and EPG regeneration are all managed through a responsive, built-in web interface accessible locally or remotely.
Furthermore, the series natively supports Fleex Embedded IPTV middleware. Hospitality integrators can manage hotel TVs and IPTV set-top boxes directly from the headend—delivering interactive welcome screens, channel lineups, EPG, info channels, and casting features without purchasing or maintaining a separate middleware server.
Engineered for 24/7 Reliability and Future Expansion
Downtime is not an option in commercial broadcast networks. All Lemco Pro Line headends are engineered for continuous 24/7 operation and support dual hot-pluggable power supplies working in full redundancy mode. By adding a secondary Lemco PLA-002 power supply module and PLA-003 AC power cord, operators can replace a power unit on the fly without interrupting live television services.
For growing networks, the optional Lemco PLA-001 software license unlocks high-capacity IP stream reception (up to 128 SPTS / 800 Mbps) on PLF, PLC, and PLH units, allowing external IPTV feeds to be mixed seamlessly with local channels. Every Pro Line chassis is backed by an industry-leading 5-year manufacturer warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions About Lemco Pro Line
Which Lemco Pro Line model should I choose for a hotel with coaxial cabling?
If your hotel uses existing coaxial TV distribution, choose any 300-series model (PLF-300, PLC-300, or PLH-300) or the PLI-400. These units output 16 DVB-T or DVB-C RF channels that tune directly on standard hotel TVs without requiring set-top boxes, while simultaneously providing IP streams for future upgrades.
Can I combine satellite channels and local HDMI info channels in one system?
Yes. You can pair a tuner headend (such as the PLC-300) with an HDMI encoder (such as the PLH-210) over Gigabit Ethernet, or use the PLA-001 IP receiver license to merge IP streams from multiple units into a single unified channel lineup.
