DigiLink is a state-of-the-art modular platform leveraging Artel’s 30 years of carrier-class video transport experience. DigiLink is specifically designed to meet the need for a low cost, rugged, and simplified design for transporting broadcast-quality video and Ethernet across IP networks, direct fiber, and optical backbones.
The most deployed solution for the North American metro-regional video-over-fiber market, DigiLink is used by all major broadcasters and networks for their critical contribution feeds for major sporting, news, and live events. DigiLink is the industry’s gold standard for simplicity of design, legendary reliability, and cost-effectiveness. A tightly integrated platform, it also offers uncompressed video-over-IP transport and integrated video and Ethernet switching.
The DLC450 utilizes SMPTE 2022-1/2 or 5/6 Video-Over-IP Standards for transport of HD/SD-SDI, ASI video and includes a Gig-E IP interface to bridge IP data over the 10 Gig Ethernet IP interface.
Integrating seamlessly within the DigiLink platform, the DLC450 module is customer configurable via DigiLink Manager or via SNMPv2 as either a Video-Over-IP Transmitter (TX mode) or a Video-Over-IP Receiver (RX mode). In TX mode, the DLC450 packetizes the video to SMPTE 2022-6 or 2022-2 encapsulation standards and provides users with flexible SMPTE 2022-5 or 2022-1 FEC configurations to maximize reliability and minimize latency and overhead. In RX mode, its robust multi-pass FEC correction algorithm and user configurable packet buffering enable reliable performance over less than ideal Ethernet links.The DLC450 sets the bar for flexible, reliable, and easy-to-configure HD/SD-SDI, ASI, and Gig-E transport over IP.
