Transport Stream Switch

Product Brief Overview

TSS-2800

Logic Innovations Transport Stream Switch multiplexes streams from any of the eight ASI inputs, or optional Ethernet PSIP input, into four independent virtual MPEG, ATSC, or DVB outputs, one of which is selected for the physical output. Any combination of inputs can be included per output and streams are processed in advance in order to optimize the actual switch transition. Any one of the virtual outputs can be selectively switched to via any of the four management interfaces (I/O inputs, web-interface, SNMP or the front panel dedicated switch keys). Each virtual output supports full stream grooming and re-branding capabilities. Services can be cloned (duplicated) to create place holders for inactive program slots. All these features help to minimize the disruption on downstream receiver/decoders when a switch takes place.

Applications

Redundancy Switch
Provides automated switching to redundant components in the event of a failed input. Downstream equipment will maintain sync across switches because the output of the TSS-2800 maintains packet synchronization. It provides an elegant solution to support fully or partially redundant systems.

Directed Switch via Manual Control or Automation System

Switch between two independent configurations such as 1 HD/1 SD, and 4 SD output, or from a standard programming feed to a emergency feed. Standby virtual outputs can be configured while the unit is operating.

Capabilities

Single physical output selects between one of four virtual transport streams Each virtual transport stream can be independently groomed and branded Channel alignment minimizes disruptions on decoders between switches Packet-synchronous switching Channel cloning can reserve unused service positions Support for PSIP insertion over ASI or Ethernet Programmable switch latency Flexible control of automatic switching policy Standby virtual outputs can be configured even while unit is operational
