OVERVIEW
CatonMediaBridge is a cost-effective, platform-based and multipurpose video processing equipment targeted for various video delivery application.
With multiplexing/ASI/IP built in the platform, CatonMediaBridge supports 3 functional modules for receiving, encoding and decoding.
Customers can easily adopt a video service or turn around your service into IP-based network or leverage its high density to support multi-channel video processing with less investment.
FEATURES
Key Features
- Compact modular design: 1RU with 3 modules (see available modules in ‘ordering information’)
- Supports up to 4Gbps video multiplexing and TS stream multiplexing/grooming
- Supports EIT multiplexing (optional) and EPG/SI insertion (both DVB and ATSC standard)
- Embedded ASI/IP interfaces in the main chassis
- Dual redundancy power supply (optional)
- Easy configuration tools: Web-UI and SNMP
- Easy upgrade to new technologies with only module replacement
- Low power consumption and high reliability with MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) ≥100,000 hours
Wide Video Formats
CatonMediaBridge supports multi formats such as SD and HD From legacy workflow to commonly used professional workflow, CatonMediaBridge will support you all the way.
Industry Standard Codec
CatonMediaBridge supports industry Standard Codec for SD and HD to provide the high quality encoding and decoding for contribution and distribution, with the most efficiency bitrate.
TS Management
CatonMediaBridge has a high bandwidth streams management system, with the built-in ASI and TS/IP port, it supports 64 TS in and 32 TS output with all the TS and PID mapping available.
SNMP Monitoring
CatonMediaBridge supports Web basis monitoring and management, active event logging and alert system. SNMP support for Caton Network Management Systems and 3rd parties platform for remote monitoring.
