 San Diego , CA - DVEO, the broadcast division of CMI, will unveil the DVB Master II FD™ at NAB 2005. The DVB Master II FD is totally updated with many new features designed to enhance its role in high performance video processors and servers.
The new features are offered to enhance reliability of the Television Signal integrity in case of power failure or loss of signal. Via a mechanical relay that can bypass the circuitry on power failure, and via its secondary input and capable watchdog timer, this card can make decisions about the quality of signal it is receiving and avoid harming the input signal. This makes it ideal for demanding broadcast applications where signal integrity is paramount.
“Over the last 3 years, DVB Master FD has become the ‘workhorse' of the industry. DVB Master II FD now has many new features for OEMs to build mission critical video servers using our inexpensive technology,” stated Les Zoltan, Sales Manager for DEVO. “With the incorporation of state of the art redundancy features, the DVB Master II FD can be used for on-air applications that used to require much more expensive solutions,” Zoltan went on to say.
The advanced features of the DVB Master II FD provide other hooks to allow easier real-time processing of the transport stream by the host computer. The input section has features including unlimited PID filtering, synchronization of incoming Transport Stream (TS) packets, auto size detection and TS code stripping. The transmitter section features include extra fine stuffing control (Fine Tuning), the ability to add 16 - 0x00s to 188 byte packets and an external clock input. The external clock input is important for applications that need to control the transmission to ATSC standards or to synchronize to a station clock. An extra cost clock option is available for this card. The transmitter function has an option for a high stability oscillator with less than 2.5ppm drift, meeting ATSC specifications. This is useful for applications such as bridging between ATSC and DVB transmission standards.
Integration of both transmitter and receiver on the same card gives a one-slot solution for most DVB processing applications. An input MPEG-2 TS can be received, processed and re-transmitted in real time by the host system making it ideal for many broadcast, data casting and monitoring applications.
