Net Insight Introduces World's Smartest QoS Video Broadcast Over Fiber Networks

"This is the world's first viable solution for commercial quality multipoint video distribution over service transparent fiber networks. We can guarantee the quality of service without rocket-science network management or complex priority mechanisms. That makes DTM multicast unique," says Bengt J. Olsson, VP Product Management, Net Insight.

The multicast service makes it possible to distribute video signals ranging from PC-based Ethernet streaming to studio quality 270 Mbps SDI (Serial Digital Interface). Net Insight's DTM technology has the ability to split the fiber capacity into channel segments of 512 kbps. Bandwidth can be provisioned in circuit-switched channels to meet with the requirements of specific video services such as CATV, IP-TV, HDTV and studio Quality SDI feeds.

SDI, ASI and ETS Multicast key features:
- Guaranteed quality of service. SDI, ASI and ETS Multicast are the world's first network services able to guarantee the delay, jitter and bandwidth of a stream to all recipients, independent of network load.
- Intelligent network. Fast and reliable network eliminates the need for expensive video coders, and cache servers. This in turn minimizes hardware and management costs.

- Dynamic. Join/leave multicast sessions dynamically while maintaining functionality and quality of service.
- Multiservice network. With separated channels for each service, video, voice and data can be merged in one network with sustained QoS.
- Follows industry standards. Fully standards compliant with the BT .601 (SDI), CENELEC EN 50083-9 (ASI) and IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) standards.
- Logical networking. Channeled data streams provide for simple one-step end-to-end provisioning of multicast channels.
- Efficient use of network resources. Unidirectional multicast channels utilize a minimal amount of bandwidth in the network. Resources are therefore utilized at maximum efficiency.
- Built in redundancy. NimOS, the DTM operating system, ensures swift recovery from network failures by quick rerouting and reestablishing of the part of the multicast-tree that has failed. Prepared for 1+1 protection switching.
