MAINDATA introduces DVB-H, DVB-T, DMB based OPTIMUX solution for effective Local Content satellite distribution with up to 85 % bandwidth savings.

    /24-7PressRelease/ - BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA, April 26, 2007 - In digital TV networks, both mobile and fixed, there is a demand for local content such as local advertisement, local news, local sport and cultural events, local weather traffic news etc. Local content greatly increases attractiveness of TV broadcasts to viewers as well as to advertisers.
Terrestrial Mobile Digital TV networks like DVB-H, DMB, MediaFlo, CMB, DAB or fixed ones like DVB-T, ATSC, ISDB networks consist of hundreds of transmitters. Transmitting single transport stream with the same content to all transmitters is a straightforward task. However by adding just 1 local TV channel to each region, many different transport streams have to be distributed. For example, in a DVB-H network with 10 regions, there is a need to transmit 10 different transport streams (5 Mbps per transport stream), increasing bandwidth to 50 Mbps and local content distribution becomes costly task.
MAINDATA OPTIMUX solution offers innovative and cost effective way of local content distribution for Mobile and Fixed Digital TV networks. MD OPTIMUX solution significantly reduces bandwidth of Local content distribution network.
OPTIMUX solution presents centralized architecture where all transport streams with local content are generated at the head-end. All transport streams are multiplexed together by OPTIMUX Server providing up to 85 % bandwidth reduction. This results in high operational costs savings and affordable local content. OPTIMUX uses patent pending technology.
Thanks to the clear network adapter architecture OPTIMUX guarantees exact bitwise SFN synchronization, „plug-in" network adapter architecture transparent to third party equipments at head-end and user sites, higher reliability and easy management of distribution network.

APPLICATIONS:
Digital TV SFN, MFN networks with Regional/Local content
DVB-H, DMB-T, MediaFlo, BCAST, CMMB networks
DVB-T, ISDB, ATSC networks

KEY FEATURES:
Clear Network Adapter architecture
Centralized solution with Transport Stream generation at head-end
SFN adapter (MIP inserter) at the head-end
