| LAS VEGAS, NV April 1999
CMI will introduce their improved "turnkey" MPEG-1 and MPEG-2
transmissions systems, the MPEG Shuttle Series at NAB99 Booth
S4677 in Las Vegas, April 19-22, 1999. The MPEG Shuttle sends
video over multiple T1/E1 lines at lower costs than ATM. The
real-time video modem is one of the newest products in CMI'
expanding line of Broadcast Products.
In this innovative design, CMI chose to integrate commercial
MPEG encoders to their own special high speed communication
cards with TCP/IP, T1/T3, E1/E3 or RS422 interfaces for a
lower cost solution. The MPEG Shuttle is based on open "Wintel"
NT technology. Their unique blend of hardware and software
also provides the ability to continuously monitor operations
with a custom GUI front end that displays all types of line
error conditions and statistics in real-time. Monitoring and
controlling can be performed locally and/or remotely allowing
users to always have immediate information and access.
Laszlo Zoltan, VP at CMI noted that "We designed the MPEG
Shuttle for a previously ignored niche in the market. Those
who demand broadcast- quality MPEG-2, but have wanted the
ability to transmit over multiple T1 lines rather than ATM."
Their great price/performance ratio is achieved by building
on widely available components from the leading industry suppliers.
Competitors offer proprietary systems that are not upgradeable
as user needs and technologies evolve. That factor further
restricts their customers to only one supplier's resources.
Since the MPEG Shuttle System incorporates Windows NT as their
operating system, it is further able to adapt as new devices
or standards gain importance. With the MPEG Shuttle, users
can consistently incorporate the finest LAN/WAN interface
from leading suppliers and no longer be locked in with a single
firm's vision and engineering limitations.
The MPEG Shuttle can also multiplex MPEG-2 over 3 or more
T1/E1 lines and transfer MPEG Layer II or III audio files
through satellite modems. The MPEG Shuttle is designed to
be easily interfaced with a range of DVB-compatible products
from multiple suppliers by installing DVB Master cards from
CMI.
Ideal uses are: Studio to Remote Broadcast Transmitter, Digital
Video (V.35) to Satellite Modems, Commercial Insertion, Front-End
or Backhaul Broadcast, Medical Monitoring, Distance Learning
Classrooms, Movie "Dailies" to Head Office, Electronic News
Gathering (ENG), Presentations, VideoConferences and Security/Remote
Monitoring.
