Exterity to launch multiple input/output TV gateways for the pro AV market at IBC in September

Exterity (IBC stand 14.H13), a provider of professional IPTV technologies for the secure distribution of live, on-demand and recorded video over IP, will launch a new range of its AvediaStream TVgateways at IBC 2014.

These new Exterity solutions enable organisations to receive and securely distribute multiple video streams simultaneously. The new TVgateways can ingest broadcast streams from eight multiplexers via eight tuners in one blade, saving rack space in server rooms, reducing power consumption and making them one of the highest performing and compelling, professional live broadcast acquisition products available.

Aware of the needs to effectively and efficiently capture and stream live broadcasts from any original signal, Exterity developed new TVgateways that support multiple input/output streams, effectively enabling broadcasters and pro-AV installers to utilise a single head-end to stream all content scalable volumes of end point receivers.

These next generation high-density octo-gateways can process up to eight multiplexes in a single blade from cable, terrestrial and satellite sources. The new AvediaStream TVgateways include:

* g4415 Satellite gateway: Dual DVB-S/S2 and Conditional Access Module (CAM) plus integration with Arris SecureMedia encryptor;
* g4445 Terrestrial and cable gateway: Quad DVB-T/T2/C/C2 2 CAMs to interoperate with leading encryption technologies for ingesting and streaming protected content;
* g4448 Terrestrial and cable gateway: Dual RF inputs feeding eight DVB-T/T2/C/C2 tuners per blade for free-to-air TV and radio channel; and
* g4418 Satellite gateway: Octal DVB-S/S2 supporting eight tuners per blade.

“The demand for professional IPTV in Europe grows as more businesses recognise the benefit of leveraging their existing IP network investment to distribute increasing volumes of live broadcast and internal video content throughout their organisation. This has placed more pressure on TVgateway performance and we believe these fourth generation TVgateway blades provide the most intelligent and dexterous solution to this challenge,’ says Colin Farquhar, CEO, Exterity. “By employing the new Exterity TVgateways, our customers benefit from a single, easily swappable and future-proofed solution, enabling them to focus their energies into their core activity, safe in the knowledge that this system is robust and flexible enough to deal with the demands of multiple IPTV streams.’
