D2D IP/ASI Multiplexing Gateway for openGear – D2D-FLEX-5220-OG

D2D IP/ASI Multiplexing Gateway for openGear – D2D-FLEX-5220-OG

The D2Flex OG‐5220 for openGear is a broadcast quality full duplex IP/ASI multiplexing gateway that can send or receive multiple services over IP with any ASI or network source. Transmission of high quality video with low latency across the public internet is supported with the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol.

Broadcasters and video professionals can optionally insert emergency alerts (EAS) or add a dynamic PSIP electronic program guide (EPG) with local channel branding into a reliable MPEG transport stream. The D2Flex OG‐5220 is an essential building block of any distributed transmission system where value, security and reliability are needed.

Applications

Public Internet Transmission:

Leverage the power of a Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) to deliver broadcast quality video with low latency across the public internet.

Regionalization:

Regionalize at head‐ends and transmitter sites with advanced channel branding and dynamic PSIP insertion.

Emergency Alert Insertion:

Maintain FCC compliance with essential EAS insertion in any of your broadcast channels.

Key Benefits

Internet Streaming with SRT: The D2Flex features the standard Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) that provides end to end security and optimized streaming performance across unpredictable networks for the best quality video possible. The integrity and quality of the video is maintained by accounting for packet loss, latency, jitter and dynamically adjusting for bandwidth between each endpoint. Now you can reliably deliver low latency video over any network including the public internet.

Easily Rebrand Channels with EPG: Set the major and minor channel numbers on each output stream and pass through or regenerate the necessary PSIP tables. The optional D2Guide can insert an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) from services like Titan TV and Gracenote (TMS) or from a spreadsheet with programming for the next several weeks so your customers can find the programs they want.

Emergency Alert (EAS) Compliance: The D2Alert option is the answer for inserting a signal from the Emergency Alert System (EAS) into all of the programs of your ATSC digital transport stream. D2Alert constantly monitors the EAS signal and when a valid alert is found, it is automatically inserted into all of the configured programs until the alert is complete. Rest assured that with D2Alert, you can comply with FCC requirements and quickly inform your viewers in the event of an emergency.
