Broadcast Video Transport

Native broadcast video transport is a growing application that is capable of delivering the highest video quality at lowest latency and cost. Interconnection sources and consumers of native video transport include studios, stadiums, post-production facilities, national broadcast facilities or stations, cinemas, video headends and other facilities that receive digital content for processing. Typical scenarios for video clients include transport over traditional metro networks, such as stadiums that transmit live feeds to TV studios, or within campus/enterprise networks such as post-production facilities or studios.

Meanwhile, network operators worldwide are transitioning from SONET/SDH to OTN. With SONET/SDH networks slowly being decommissioned, OTN now forms the basis of transport networks globally. OTN increases capacity to more than 100G and efficiently maps clients for video and Ethernet/IP and enhanced OAM. Enabling video transport over SONET/SDH, OTN and Ethernet is a way to future-proof your video transport solution. Our industry-leading OTN processors include support for multiple interfaces including SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, DVB-ASI and DV6000, easily meeting challenging SMPTE video jitter specs and supporting video client switching and unidirectional transport. We’re also a leader in timing and synchronization, with a complete clock management and OTN timing extraction needed for the most demanding video transport applications.
