Carrier Grade, 1 RU, 2 to 8 Channel DVB to IP Gateway That Routes any Number of Selected DVB ASI Streams That May Come from a Bank of Professional IRD's to any MAC Address via IP. The Desired Streams are Streamed Using UDP or RTP Unicast or Multicast in Real Time via Gig/E to Your VOD Server. Supports IGMP v2/v3, FEC SMPTE 2022, QOS and Other Standards.

Real Time, End to End Single SPTS or MPTS Transport Stream over IP (with Committed Bandwidth on WAN) Gateways (Transmission System) with DVB ASI In and Out for Affordable Delivery of Single or Multiple DVB ASI Transport Streams to Distant Locations over Fiber or Copper Based WANs. Includes Pro-MPEG Code of Practice 3 FEC (Forward Error Correction). Can be Configured with Multiple Receivers and One Transmitter to Serve Multiple Sites. Tested with 3 to 100 Mbps.

Professional Grade, Linux® Based, 1-12 Channel, Rackmounted, DVB to IP Gateway That Routes Any Number of Selected Transport Streams That May Come from A Bank of Professional IRD's to any Mac Address via IP. This Unit will Parse Any MPTS into its Component IP Streams via PIDs. The Desired Streams are Streamed in Real Time using UDP or RTP via IP Multicast or IP Unicast Streams to your VOD Server. Also Works Well as a Live Content Source for Wowza® and Adobe® Flash® Servers.
