TS streams backup and recovery
MediaStream Stream Selector is professional multifunction software to receive two DVB streams (main and redundant) and select best of ones to pass further. In case of bitwise-identical input streams, software can optionally recover errors and give out corrected TS/T2MI-stream.
Software works under Microsoft Windows and Intel Processors of last generations, preferably with hardware IP- or ASI- bypass interfaces (Silicom or Dektec-2145/2175).
Key features
Dozens of couples of input streams are supported.
Quality of streams is measured by basic criterions of TR 101 290.
Input streams in each pair are allowed to be time-shifted relative to each other, optional input delay up to 10 seconds is applied.
Bitwise-identical streams recovery allows perfectly restore original stream that is delivered in two different ways with possible losses in each one.
Technical specification
- Physical inputs/outputs – DVB IP Multicast/Unicast UDP/RTP, DVB ASI, DVB S/S2/T/T2/C/C2 (input only).
- Input/output streams – DVB SPTS/MPTS/T2MI
- Control: automatic, manual external web- and SNMP-based
- Hardware relay bypasses with watch-dog timer supported: IP Silicom Ethernet interface, ASI Dektec DTA-2145, DTA-2175 and ASI StreamLabs MSP2.
- Active heartbeat stream UDP-IP/RS-232, reliability statistics: 99,999% uptime.
- Configuring: manually, conf-files.
- SNMP state control.
Notes and requirements
To process DVB IP streams Intel chipset-based NICs are strongly recommended, particularly Silicom NICs with hardware relay bypass and watch-dog timers for reliability reasons.
To process DVB ASI system requires DekTec or StreamLabs PCIex hardware (particularly DekTec DTA-2145/2175 and StreamLabs MSP2 are equipped with relay bypass and WD-timer).
To receive DVB-S/S2/T/T2/C/C2, system uses any Windows-compatible hardware interface, NetUp PCIex professional interafces with CI-slots are recommended.
Licensing
One license allows processing of one couple of input streams. One year SLA included.
