KUSI-TV selects ASI over IP gateways from ENENSYS
KUSI-TV of San Diego has chosen ENENSYS' FastCaster ASI over IP gateways for their station. FastCaster ASI over IP gateway is a cost effective solution for transmitting or receiving MPEG-2 transport streams over IP networks. The system features SMPTE 2022 / Pro-MPEG Code of Practice 3 Forward Error Correction (FEC), for reliable transport of live video.
KUSI-TV, an independent San Diego television station, is best known for its comprehensive live local news coverage. KUSI broadcasts local news more than seven and one half hours a day on weekdays, and four and one half hours a day on weekends.
KUSI-TV uses the FastCasters to send high definition and standard video to the local cable company. The FastCaster can be configured with multiple receivers and one transmitter to serve multiple sites.
Richard Large, Chief Engineer at KUSI, said: “We did try a couple of other products before buying. They were difficult to set up and operate. The ENENSYS FastCaster is easy to install, offers an intuitive user interface and works perfectly. It’s a ‘Do it yourself’ product. We are very happy with the FastCaster's performance and reliability."
"We are delighted KUSI-TV has selected our gateways to transport their video content over IP" says David Bouchard, in charge of the IP Distribution product line at ENENSYS. "Our IP gateways are now more and more widely adopted by broadcasters not only because they provide a safe and reliable way to transport video content, but also because they allow important savings at a time when cost control is critical for everyone".
