Packet Reconstruction Solution Maximises IP Video Transport Efficiency

2012.04.16

NAB, Las Vegas Convention Centre, SU6507, Las Vegas – April 16, 2012

Appear TV, a leading global provider of next-generation head-ends for broadcast and IP television, today announced the launch of the industry’s most advanced IP seamless switching technology across its range of head-ends.

This new switch performs seamless switching, where two independent multicast networks rings are monitored for packet loss and switched to ensure the output is the better of the two. This is enhanced with new functionality that monitors both networks simultaneously to ”reconstruct” the original data on the basis that the two networks are independent and will therefore not be subject to the same degradations, such as packet loss, at exactly the same time.
