Take Multicasting to the next level with DBI’s MediaFire IP solution

IP Worklfow – Take multicasting to the next level with DBI’s MediaFire IP solution. The only complete IP system of its kind, the MediaFire IP will automate, conform, manage, splice, playout, and monitor your station signals. MediaFire IP allows stations to supplement additional channels with no additional hardware. IP workflows give stations the utmost in on-air control. MediaFire IP supports MPEG2 and MPEG4 compressed ASI transport streams and video over IP as SPTS and MPTS. Digital Broadcast’s MediaFire IP playout provides multichannel splicing of MPEG2 and MPEG4 media for direct feeds to cable or a transmitter. The MediaFire IP maintains the streamed MPEG network so that no baseband switching or keying is required. An IP multiviewer completes the suite for easy monitoring of content anywhere in the plant.
