Advanced HD Compression and Transport over Gigabit Ethernet



Description

The HD-GigE™ IP Gateway transports HD-SDI/SD-SDI/DVB-ASI signals over IP networks and offers a cost effective alternative to traditional video transport services. The flexible, HD intraframe compression codec produces a high quality video signal that can be transported over Gigabit Ethernet networks. Standard Definition and ASI signals are automatically detected and passed through transparently.

By utilizing field by field encoding, the entire codec process adds less than 10 milliseconds of end-to-end delay to the video signal. The encoder can generate bitrates ranging from 251Mbps to 586Mbps, providing flexible control of the Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth to suit various applications. These codecs can also transport up to 16 channels of uncompressed AES audio and are capable of transporting Dolby® E.

HD-GigE output is compatible with a wide variety of IP network equipment. Signals from multiple devices can be combined using standard IP switches to share local and long distance facilities. The HD-GigE packet output can be set to automatically squelch when video input is removed to provide bandwidth for other services.

Random bit errors and single lost packets are corrected utilizing robust forward error correction. Multiple lost packets or short term network failures are corrected through optional automatic packet retransmission.

The HD-GigE resides in the MD2000™ series multi-purpose frames and the MD-003™ 1RU hybrid frame. Dual redundant power supplies and modular rear I/O connections provide maximum flexibility and reliability. A SNMP compliant controller with built-in web browser ensures that the system can be controlled and monitored locally or remotely. The MD2000 series frames are available as 16 slot/2RU chassis, 6 slot/2RU half rack chassis and 4 slot/1RU MD-003 hybrid chassis (houses up to two MD2000 series and two MD-003 series modules).
