Media Links Exhibit MD 8200 Video & Data Networking Solution at NAB 2010

Media Links MD8200

At NAB 2010, Media Links Inc exhibited the MD8200, a cost effective video and data networking solution combining Ethernet and multiple SD or HD MPEG-2TS, H.264 or JPEG2000 transport streams over dual redundant SONET, SDH, PDH and Ethernet network interfaces.

The MD8200 supports up to 16 DVB-ASI interfaces configurable for send or receive operation through an easy-to-use, SNMP compliant GUI interface. Standards based transport stream encapsulation with FEC per SMPTE 2022 and DVB-ASI granularity provisioned at .5 Mb increments from 3Mb up to 200Mb.


Designed with 6 Gigabit Ethernet user interfaces , port based VLAN tagging allows the video traffic to be prioritized at a higher level preventing loss of video in the event of congestion. High priority Ethernet traffic can be prioritized at the highest level to ensure QOS through the MD8200.

The MD8200 sets the stage for convergence between SONET/SDH and IP based networks with the use of the ITU-T G.7041 Generic Framing Protocol. GFP provides an efficient method of mapping Ethernet packets into SONET/SDH. The flexible architecture provi

des redundant or dual network interfaces that are selectable between DS-3/E3, OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4 or 100/1000BaseT Ethernet
