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. Consists of IP Caster Tx and IP Caster Rx for easy and consistent delivery of MPEG-2 or H.264 Transport Streams over IP.

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. Tested with 3 to 100 Mbps.

Carrier grade, rackmounted, 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.

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
