Engage Communication Tunes into
MPEG Point to Multipoint IP Video Distribution.
APTOS, Calif., March 12, 2003 - Engage
Communication, Inc. incorporates MPEG IP video
stream redundancy switching into its IPExpress
T1/E1 IP WAN Router product lines.
Engage's REDundant
IP Video configuration
automatically switches from the Primary to the Secondary
Encoder's IP Video Stream if there is a one second absence
of IP Video packets from the Primary Encoder. When the
Primary and Secondary Encoders are active the IP Video
Stream from the Secondary is blocked from consuming WAN
bandwidth.
Engage dials into the need for
speed to deliver broadcast quality IP Video with Inverse
Packet Multiplexing. Engage's
Inverse Mux technology truly doubles the bandwidth between
two locations by splitting each packet in half and sending
the first half on line 1 and the second half on line
2 for reassembly at the receiving side.
IP Multicast is
a standard feature of the IPExpress and is utilized to
distribute MPEG video simultaneously to multiple decoders.
The use of a secondary decoder configured to receive the
IP Video multicast provides for redundancy at the receiving
end of the link.
"The IPExpress redundancy
capabilities fulfills the demand from our customers in
the broadcast market for backup encoders and decoders
to support live video delivery " said Mark Doyle
Engage Communication President.
Engage IP WAN models:
IPExpressMLBHIPMREDT1
model has the redundancy
and delivers MPEG IP Streaming Video over Inverse Multiplexed
T1s.
IPExpressMLBHIPMREDE1
model has the redundancy
and delivers MPEG IP Streaming Video over Inverse Multiplexed
E1s.
Product will be demonstrated in
Adtec Digital booth #SU5870 at the NAB show in Las Vegas
April 7-10.
