High Performance High Definition or Standard Definition Broadcast Quality Transport Stream Logger with DVB ASI Inputs and Outputs. Designed for Cable and On Air Operators Who Need Automated Archiving of All "On Air" Programming for 30, 60 or More Days for Legal Purposes Such as UK's OFCOM. Stand Alone Video Archival Server with Capabilities of Playing/Recording MPEG-2 Transport Streams for Continuous or Schedulable Playback – Includes TS Analyzer/Viewer, Remote Management, with Featured Built-in Playout Scheduler.

Cost Effective, Continuous, MPEG-2 and H.264 Transport Stream Player and Recorder with DVB ASI Output and Input with GUI based Menu for both Test and Real World Broadcast purposes. Includes a TS analyzer for the display and selection of any PIDs. Records and plays by time and GB. Also includes software based MPEG-2 viewer and web interface for remote management.

Standard Features:

• Captures transport stream as segments of data configured either by size or time
• Creates number of file segments that constitute a “floating window” corresponding to the record length
• Captures and plays back HD, MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC (MPEG-4 Part 10) streams via DVB interfaces
• Captures and plays back SMPTE 125M files via SMPTE 259M (SDI Video) interfaces
• Advanced playback Scheduler for Day, Week, Month or Year
• Transport Streams can be selected by PIDs
  Plays and Captures TS from all well known Video Encoders, Decoders, and Servers including Harmonic, Tandberg, Omneon, Tektronix, Radyne, Big Band, Seachange, Scopus, TUT Systems, and many others
• Playback rates up to 213 Mbps with fast SAS hard drives
• Captures to standard IDE hard drive at 60 Mbps
• Plays back a sequence of transport streams
• Play order allows the order of file playout to be edited
• Input TS file via CD, DVD, USB Drive, Ethernet or input video stream via DVB-ASI
• Output TS file via CD, DVD, USB Drive, Ethernet or output video stream via DVB-ASI
• Includes automatic TS analysis utility with PID and PCR clock info (Needs CBR for best result)
• Automatically uses the TS PCR info to accurately calculate the rate of the transport stream
• Selectable 188/204 packet size with auto conversion
• Continuous play or single play modes
• Buffer Overrun or Underrun warnings
• Remote management via Web interface
• Option: custom transport streams can be provided

Applications:

• Capture of video for VideoMirror/AS Archive
• Capture or playback transport streams for testing
• Record and analyze transport streams
• Development labs, manufacturing shop floors, and trade shows – to capture and playback, or just continuously playback transport streams in real time
• Analyze and preview transport streams
• Program scheduler for TV stations
• Record transport streams of required data size

Standard Features:

• MPEG-2 and H.264 Transport Stream Output and Input
• Compatible with HD or SD streams
• 200 GB Hard Drive or larger storage lets you build, maintain, and use a large local library of Test Streams
• Bit rate to 210 Mbps with optional HD array
• Firewire, USB 2.0, DVD drive, and GbE interface enable optimum flexibility in storing and managing Transport Stream Libraries.
• Supports both SPTS and MPTS
• Works best with CBR but will work with VBR
• Features Rich easy-to-use GUI
• Supports CD, 100 BT, or opt. DVB ASI input
• DVB ASI input and Output
• Includes Automatic TS Analysis Utility with PID and PCR clock info.
• After analysis user can choose to capture all PIDS or any set of selected PIDS.
• Automatically uses the TS PCR info to calculate proper transport Stream Rate
• Selectable 188/204 Packet size with auto conversion
• Continuous play or single play modes
• Time Duration, Packets, or xN Repeat settings
• Buffer Overrun or Underrun warnings
• Runs on Windows® XP
• MPEG-2 TS Software viewer monitors output
• Industry Leader
• Comes with customized Transport Streams preloaded on request
• NEW OPTIONS:
  1. Remote control via command line interface
  2. Output normally sourced from loop through input and upon failure signal from hard drive. All implemented via output relay.

Applications:

• Ideal for generating test streams for testing STB's and trade show signal source
• Capturing TS for analysis and repurposing
• IRD/STB Design and Manufacturing Testing
• Evaluation of Professional MPEG Equipment
• Performance Verification of MPEG Systems
• Scheduling of Stream Playout and Recording for Broadcast and Production Line Applications
