The LA-1200 is the multi-purpose device with the main task of receiving a single IP based video stream or collecting and distributing multiple IP based video streams (up to 50 individual feeds possible).
This unit serves as a software based "head-end" or aggregation point for single or multiple video feeds which originate from the C4IP Taurus series of IP encoders.
The LA-1200 also ensures a jitter free reception of IP streams and is able to perform the following additional functions:
- Re-Encode non DVB compliant streams to DVB compliant streams
- Transcode an incoming H.264 video feed to MPEG-2 (and vice versa)
- Provide black detection on incoming feeds and insert a static image when a feed is unavailable or reception is lost
- Provide the receiving point de-encryption functionality needed for a secure feed (in conjunction with a compatible C4IP Taurus series encoder)
- General purpose PID and DVB tables modification
- Individually configure each incoming feed for re-transmission (multicast or unicast) into a local network
- Multiplex multiple streams into one ASI stream (in conjunction with our multiplexing add-on)
The LA-1200 is able to handle a wide range of functions to ensure flexible integration into head-end stations. The unit is also able to send notifications via email regarding any problems with the connection or stream.
The LA-1200 is a 1U 19" rack mount device which can be easily installed into any data center or engineering room.
Applications
- Perfect for cable operators or other head-ends in need of a cost effective way to transport and receive many channels over an IP network.
- With an optional remuxer module, individual parameters within a transport stream can be adjusted to ensure flexible integration with existing infrastructure.
- In combination with optional remuxer module, IP to ASI conversion can easily be achieved for operators who choose not to integrate or allow IP feed transmission directly into their existing infrastructure.
- Can function as an inter-connection point to share or re-distribute a feed or feeds to a different or multiple location(s).
