MD2000 HD270 Coax
HD Transport Over 270Mbps Infrastructure

The HD270 Coax video transport system compresses and transports HD SDI signals over 270Mbps networks and offers outstanding video quality at incredibly low latency. Through the use of slice-based MPEG-2 encoding, the entire process of encoding and decoding adds less than 10 milliseconds of end-to-end delay to the video signal. The encoder design generates a standards-compliant elementary stream operating at over 200 Mbps, providing extremely high video quality. The HD270 Coax video transport runs on the MD2000 Series frames.

MD-6000 Video Transport System

The MD-6000 is a video transport system that enables long haul transport of high quality uncompressed video signals over SDH / SONET (OC-48 / STM-16 and OC-192 / STM-64) networks. By interfacing directly to a telco network, The MD6000 simplifies network configuration by eliminating the need for codec equipment required by alternative video transport systems. The system utilizes multi-format video modules that accept uncompressed HD and SD video signals, as well as DVB-ASI and SDTI signals. An optional board combines a STM-1 (155Mbps) and a DVB ASI (Max 90Mbps) input signal and transports a 270Mbps payload to a 2.5G or 10G network interface card. Redundant interface cards can be configured to enable hitless switching to a protection circuit in the event of a circuit failure. The MD6000 also features automatic error detection and correction and centralized SNMP management software.
