T-VIPS, a global provider of professional video contribution and distribution solutions, will unveil at IBC2011 their TNS544 TSoIP Switch. This solution is the latest member of the T-VIPS nSure product line, which is designed to ensure the reliability of high-quality video transport. Customers will include satellite, telco and DTT operators, as well as broadcasters using IP head-end infrastructure and networks. The TNS544 provides intelligent redundancy switch-over between MPEG Transport Streams delivered over IP networks. It ensures the robust transmission of Transport Streams by continuously monitoring all inputs, switching seamlessly to the back-up stream if errors are detected or a signal is lost. Network operators now have the ability to monitor and handle multiple Transport Streams and configure multiple switches per TNS544. This provides much greater flexibility and improved reliability within an IP infrastructure. The solution includes a number of exciting advanced features, including:
- Completely seamless switching ensuring glitch free operation
- Protection of sensitive downstream equipment in satellite, DVB-T and DVB-T2 environments, ensuring continuous operation
- Supports a high-level of output diversity – up to 8 outputs per switch
- A single TNS544 unit may be flexibly configured with up to four 2:1 switches or two 4:1 switches
- Switching between non-identical Transport Streams – critical for those operators that run back-up multiplexes
- Supports IP unicast and multicast
- Independent IP input and output addressing
- Full VLAN support
- Forward Error Correction
