ENENSYS’ AdsEdge solution, which provides targeted local content insertion in DTT and cable networks – typically ads, news, weather – is comprised of AdsEdge and Campaign Manager. AdsEdge is a combined video server and splicer and is placed at the edge of networks (DTT TX sites, cable EdgeQAM…) to be able to provide dedicated targeted content insertion based on geographical location. It features exceptionally low latency with integrated SSD storage. Campaign Manager is a central server application that interfaces with the automation system (receiving playlists), with the content and advertising providers (ad agencies), and with AdsEdge to ensure that the correct content is received and is distributed to the splicers in the correct timeframe. It makes the necessary links between all the elements in the delivery chain. It also provides comprehensive reporting capabilities to clearly and precisely show what has been broadcast and when.
ENENSYS will highlight its OneBeam Single Illumination solution and DTTCaster.OneBeam – ENENSYS’ OneBeam Single Illumination system enables a standard satellite DTH network to also distribute services to DVB-T/T2 or ISDB-T transmitter sites. It avoids the need for two separate satellite networks deliver services to DTH consumers (DVB-S/S2) and DTT (DVB-T/T2) transmitters. OneBeam enables a single satellite feed to be used to deliver services to both platforms, enabling very significant OPEX savings of satellite capacity costs.
DTTCaster provides highly cost-effective re-transmission of DTT (DVB-T/T2 and ISDB-T/Tb) multiplexes at transmitter sites using a feed from a parent terrestrial transmitter. It enables TX sites to operate without IP or satellite feeds by using off-air reception of the multiplex(es) from a DTT transmitter using a simple antenna. DTTCaster re-generates the multiplex in the correct format to feed a transmitter operating on a second frequency, including SFN operation.
ENENSYS will also showcase its changeover switch products family that secure the distribution of transport streams with automatic failover mechanisms. IPGuardV2 is designed for IP-only environments and offers autonomous seamless change-over capabilities at the IP stream, MPEG-2 TS (based on ETR290), T2-MI or RTP (based on SMPTE 2022-7 standard) levels to guarantee service availability. The ASIIPGuard offers similar switching capabilities for ASI environments with optional IP interfaces.
