Vislink News And Entertainment Launch Novel Set Of ASI-over-IP Newsgathering Products

Vislink News and Entertainment showed a newly completed suite of IP-enabled newsgathering products at IBC, that will allow broadcasters to send encoded live video or pre-recorded video over IP networks.
The company’s advanced Satellite News Gathering solutions, including the DVE5100 Encoder and Encoder / Modulator (Exciter) and its IRD5100 Integrated Receiver Decoder can now encapsulate pre-encoded ASI streams into IP for transmission from an OB to the studio and can decapsulate one of up to four pre-encapsulated ASI signals from an incoming IP stream.These additional IP capabilities are in addition to all the current features of the DVE5000 and IRD5000.
Vislink’s MRC microwave products are also IP enabled. The AMG2100 and ASG2100, smart mobile and studio gateways that employ wireless broadband and microwave links for connectivity between an ENG/ OB vehicle to a studio. This powerful combination can support a large fleet of vehicles simultaneously. When equipped with an MTX5000 transmitter, a vehicle can transmit live video directly along with pre-recorded files via IP. These products come with software for remote control and will be able to manage the transport of news to the studio in a workflow.
"As we move into a new, open-systems, networked enviroment, the recorded segment of news may be edited in the field," says Ashley Dove, Director of Product Marketing for Vislink News and Entertainment. "Vislink's new IP-enabled product set will enable broadcasters to route video in a single workflow from the camera and OB trucks, over any kind of RF, satellite or microwave link or IP network, and directly into the broadcaster’s own IT network."
Vislink's engineering team broke boundaries with the LINK Cellular Diversity newsgathering concept which gave rapid, cost-effective, newsgathering over terrestrial wireless networks. As more wireless and fibre broadband services become available, Vislink believes that IP connectivity will revolutionise news again, and more news vehicles will link directly into IP networks.
