MGW 3100 is a family of digital video-over-Internet Protocol (IP) systems that provides high performance MPEG transport stream processing with the ability to distribute digital video over IP-based networks. Applications include IP video distribution, IP video contribution, and MPEG video demultiplexing. By bridging Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) and high-speed data networks, MGW 3100 is a cost-effective video networking solution for service providers and enterprises requiring real-time distribution of digital video over IP-based networks.

The MGW 3100 has been designed to provide high performance, scaleable video networking solutions over cost-effective IP networks. When deployed in a video headend as a demultiplexing transmitter, MGW 3100 allows service operators to leverage existing IP infrastructure by serving as a flexible and cost effective method for distributing narrowcast content to digital set-top boxes. MGW 3100 can also be deployed as a transport mode transmitter and receiver set, providing broadcasters with a cost effective video transport and video contribution solution.

MGW 3100 incorporates advanced jitter correction features that compensate for the effects of delay variation and latency introduced by IP networks. This feature ensures DVB specification compliance for all transmissions. By utilizing Optibase's industry leading DVB transport stream processing technology in a throughput optimized architecture, MGW 3100 achieves high performance in all modes of operation through the DVB-ASI and the dual 10/100 Base-T industry standard interfaces. For applications requiring the highest IP throughput performance, an optional 1000 Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet interface is available.

A GUI-based Element Management System (EMS) offers remote monitoring and control of MGW 3100 systems. Compliant with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the EMS allows you to remotely manage all MGW 31000 capabilities from any network PC.

Hardware Options MPEG-2 to PCI Gateway By connecting PCI based servers directly to a broad array of MPEG-2 multiplexer, encoding and transmission equipment, MediaPump serves as a gateway for integrating end-to-end digital broadcast systems. MediaPump is designed for supporting MPEG-2 server applications, and has been successfully deployed in Ad insertion, Pay-per-View and other DVB to IP applications. Supports Professional Interfaces MediaPump supports a wide range of vendor specific proprietary and DVB compliant interfaces, including most parallel serial interfaces used within the MPEG-2 digital media marketplace. It offers a full range of input/output MPEG-2 transport streams, multiplexing and splicing functionality. MediaPump splices and multiplexes MPEG-2 single program transport streams on-board in real time, into a multi-program transport stream. The ability to install multiple boards in the same server together with on board processing allows MediaPump to scale well with the needs of intensive applications.
