EtherCast ASI-Pro Gateway
The EtherCast™ ASI-Pro - ASI-to-IP and IP-to-ASI gateway is a compact converter
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.
This bidirectional ASI-Pro gateway 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 gateway 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.
The ASI-Pro gateway's exceptional jitter control, lossless data
transfer, and advanced error correction scheme ensure pristine image
quality. Multicast transmission is fully supported, enabling the same
video stream to be distributed simultaneously to multiple destinations.
The ASI-Pro gateway is available as a standalone device or OEM board.
