Streaming Media Bridge Delivers Compressed HD Content Over Fiber or Copper IP Networks -- Sends and Receives Both Single and Multi-Program MPEG-2 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.

Real Time, Single, , Linux based, 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. Now includes Pro-MPEG Code of Practice 3 FEC (Forward Error Correction). Can be configured with multiple receivers and one transmitter to serve multiple sites.

Our TS over IP transport solutions are designed to reduce TS transport costs by offloading long haul TS traffic onto lower cost, dedicated or well provisioned shared-use IP networks. These solutions offer superior software reliability, powerful functionality with a very small footprint, network transparency and remote management capability.
