A Real Time Media Bridge That Delivers DVB-ASI Over Fiber or Copper IP Networks -- Sends and Receives Both Single and Multi-Program MPEG-2 SD and HD Transport Streams. Features Web-Based Remote Management and Pro-MPEG Code of Practice #3 (CoP3) Forward Error Correction (FEC). Useful in Many Applications Such as Delivery of Compressed HD Streams Between TV Stations and Cable Head Ends.

Real Time, End to End 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.

Standard Features:

• Stand alone Full Duplex IP to ASI and ASI to IP converter

• Easy-to-use and configure IP gateway

• Converts HD MPEG-2 transport streams from DVB-ASI to IP in real time

• Receives HD MPEG-2 transport streams over Ethernet-based Internet Protocol (IP) networks and converts them to DVB-ASI

• Maximum transmit rate of 195 Mbps per ASI channel

• Supports Pro-MPEG Code of Practice #3 (CoP3) Forward Error Correction (FEC)

• RTP (RFC 2250) encapsulation

• Supports IP Unicast, Multicast, UDP, RTP

• Network jitter correction

• Supports constant bit rate ASI output

• IP address assignment from DHCP server and static IP address. IP address also configurable through the web interface.

• Configuration for Time to Live (TTL) for Multicast

• Remote Web-based configuration management

• Multiple units can be rack mounted if needed

• An alternative to dedicated satellite links -- connects digital video equipment to computer networks

• eCos™ based software
