IP•Express MLBH-E1 offers a REDundant IP Video configuration that automatically switches from the Primary to a Secondary Encoder's IP Video Stream for mission critical broadcasts.

IP Multicast is utilized to distribute MPEG video similtaneously to multiple decoders.

Bit Error Rate Tester is a standard feature. The BERT capability in combination with the diagnostic test loops provides for E1 physical layer qualification.

Management of the IP•Express•MLBH models is accomplished with a Command Line Interface that is accessed through a Console or Telnet connection. Templates of the most common configuration provide for an Edit and Paste configuration.

Inverse Packet Multiplexing
Inverse Packet Multiplexing is a feature of the IP•Express MLBH-E1 IPM delivers 3 Megabits of interconnectivity over Dedicated E1 WANs. Built in E1 line fault detection provides for automatic bandwidth backup for Mission Critical Fault Tolerant Interconnects.

Security is provided with Full On Source, Destination Address; Port and Flag IP Packet filtering. Interconnectivity is able to be selectively controlled at the network, device and application layers.

MPEG IP Multicast Streaming Video Delivery
IP•Express MLB-E1 IPM models delivers MPEG IP Streaming Video over Inverse Multiplexed E1s. The Inverse Packet Multiplexor provides the bandwidth necessary for the delivery of broadcast quality Streaming IP Video. IP Multicast is a standard feature of the IPExpress and is utilized to distribute MPEG video simultaneously to multiple decoders.

MPEG IP Video Redundancy Switch
REDundant IP Video configuration that automatically switches from the Primary to a Secondary Encoder's IP Video Stream for mission critical broadcasts and is only available with the IP•Express MLBH-E1 IPM-RED. A one second absence of IP packets from the Primary Encoder results in the switch to the Secondary Encoder. The WAN bandwidth is reserved for a single feed. The Redundancy option is also available with the Inverse Packet Multiplexor.
