Description:
EtherCast ASI-Pro is a compact ASI-to-IP gateway that makes it fast, easy, and affordable to transport DVB-ASI video from remote sites - such as small TV studios,
security hot spots, traffic observation points, or weather stations - to central locations.
Today, setting up video transport links to remote sites is costly and time-consuming. The low latency, high bandwidth channels needed to carry ASI streams of MPEG-encoded SD or HD video dictate the use of either a satellite link, an optical service on a fiber backbone, or
a point-to-point microwave radio link.
Pleora’s ASI-Pro simplifies and cost reduces links to remote sites by allowing the video to stream reliably over economical IP networks. One side of the palm-sized
ASI-Pro plugs into coax from an MPEG-to-ASI encoder, the other to an Ethernet cable. After a few clicks on a simple web based interface, the unit is ready to go.
At the central location - such as a production house,
play-out center, satellite earth station or surveillance/security office - the video can be converted back to ASI by
a second ASI-Pro or left as-is for further processing. The unit is bidirectional.
For truly remote sites, where basic Ethernet services
aren’t available, the ASI-Pro can be used in conjunction with a low-cost wireless IP transmission system. An
inexpensive way to set up point-to-point IP connections between two sites.
The ASI-Pro’s exceptional jitter control, lossless data
transfer, and advanced error correction standards
ensure pristine image quality. Multicast transmission is
fully supported, enabling the same video stream to be
distributed simultaneously to multiple destinations. The
ASI-Pro includes features like SMPTE-2022 / COP#3,
FEC, out-of-band control, SNMPv2, and is available as a
standalone device or an OEM board.
EtherCast engines are based on the field-proven IP
engine technology offered in Pleora’s world-leading line
of iPORT™ products for medical, military, and manufac-
turing applications.
