  Adtec Digital designs and manufactures innovative MPEG, MPEG2 and MPEG4 technology for digital television delivery, IPTV, commercial ad insertion, and multimedia digital video applications.
      The DTA-3050 is specifically designed for turning MPEG 2 Transport via ASI and IP sources to ASI, SMPTE-310 and IP outputs. It supports MPEG, ATSC, Digicypher, or DVB based digital television services. It is ideal for traditional Satellite distribution and contribution, Cable, Terrestrial, Telco TV and Broadband TV distribution systems utilizing MPEG 2 or MPEG 4 AVC (H.264).

      Digital television service operators wishing to aggregate and process MPEG, ATSC, Digicypher, or DVB based services for traditional (satellite, cable, terrestrial) or next generation IPTV based services will find the DTA ideal. It boasts 10 ASI inputs. Each supporting wire speed, a three-way mirrored ASI output, GIGE, and optional SMPTE-310. Redundancy for ASI and SMPTE-310 is supported with an intelligent built in relay-bypassed switch. The DTA-3050 is IPTV and BBTV ready today, it supports multicast and unicast configurations including SPTS/UDP or RTP, MPTS/UPD or RTP, MPEG and DVB tables. Encryption support includes DVB-CSA with Ethernet Simylcrypt, AES for use with Simylcrypt compatible Conditional Access management Servers (CAS) vendors. The DTA 3050 is ideal for traditional and next generation television networks.

Applications
  • Telco IPTV / Broadband IPTV: Cost-effective and reliable delivery of video, audio and data services to an unlimited number of consumer set top boxes or PC/MAC clients on an IP network.

  • Satellite Digital TV: Aggregate video, audio and data services, process services, inject tables, encrypt and pass them via ASI or IP to modulators supporting traditional DVBS and the emerging DVBS2 or other satellite distribution method.

  • Terrestrial Digital TV: Aggregate video, audio and data services, process services, inject tables, encrypt them and pass them via ASI or IP to modulators supporting ATSC, DVBT, DVBH, DMB, or other terrestrial distribution method.

  • Cable Digital TV:Aggregate video, audio and data services, process services, inject tables, encrypt them and pass them via ASI or IP to modulators supporting traditional DVBC (Annex A, B, C) distribution method.

  • IP over MPEG 2 Transport: Delivery of IP data services to set top boxes or computers over MPEG-2 transport using IP encapsulation. over MPEG 2 Transport: Delivery of IP data services to set top boxes or computers over MPEG-2 transport using IP encapsulation.


Benefits
  • Conditional Access: The DTA-3050 provides DVB-CSA and BISS encryption and AES conditional access encrypt and decrypt capabilities. DVB-CSA encryption is available as fixed key BISS or Simulcrypt based interfaces compatible with most major DVB-CSA CAS vendors. AES decryption and encryption include support for Adtec’s OST for Transport and Verimatrix VCAS for residential set top and computer-based decryption.

  • Aggregation of ASI, SMPTE-310, or IP based SPTS or MPTS services: The DTA-3050 provides ten ASI input ports enabling it to aggregate locally encoded SPTS or re-muxed MPTS from encoders, receivers, video servers or other devices providing MPEG 2 Transport via ASI or IP.

  • IPTV: Gigabit Ethernet distribution of digital television services includes MPTS, SPTS over UDP, RTP for Set Top, or computer decoding and MPTS over UDP or RTP for bundled distribution (Digital Simulcast).

  • ASI: An optional 3 port mirrored ASI output interface provides integration with traditional distribution methods including Cable, Satellite, and Terrestrial.

  • SMPTE-310: An optional 2 port mirrored SMPTE-310 output interface provides integration with ATSC distribution.

  • Flexible Configuration & Control: Controlling and configuring the DTA-3050 is easy. Whether using the integrated front panel keypad and LCD, Terminal or remote Web page interface, they respond rapidly and reliably to the desires of the operator.

  • PTV Electronic Program Guide: Adtec’s Middleware Application Server integrates seamlessly with our DTA routers to deliver an interactive electronic program guide to IP based Set Tops or a PC/MAC edjePlayer and includes support for many IP based Set Tops. Adtec’s edjeVOD enterpise VOD server, an optional service installed on the Middleware Application Server, is ideal for small stream count implementations like medical, educational or hospitality. Interfaces to external VOD servers facilitate large stream count VOD requirements including direct to home Telco TV.
