Video Backhaul

[ctheron]

I am looking for any equipment to backhaul MPEG 2 Video streams over ATM or IP. The compression standard is 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 , and the data rates can vary. I would also need the necesary decoders at the other end.

Check out AG Systems. We used the VIA-188 on several occasions for MPEG2 (4:2:2) over OC3/ATM.

They also had interfaces for 25Meg copper ATM, and other flavors.

It was a while ago, I don't know if they still make'em or not.

Cisco IPTV works ok for MPEG 1 / 2, you can have several en/decoders per server, if necessary.

VBrick is also a very nice alternative. I don't recall if they have an ATM flavor, I believe they do.

VBrick has encoders, decoders, or combined function for MPEG 1, 2, or 4. You can build the distribution network as necessary.

Good Luck

Use Tandberg gear for this.
