FastCaster - Single channel ASI over IP gateway


FastCaster Network Adapters provide a cost effective and highly reliable solution for delivering digital video content over IP networks (MPEG2-TS over IP)



To date, the never-ending IP networks interconnection growth made it possible to send data from one part of the world to anywhere without any special infrastructure cost. This is where operators have OPEX savings to do by moving to all-IP transfer solutions.

FastCaster enable emission or reception of MPEG2 Transport Stream (MPEG2-TS) over IP networks without the need of expensive distribution solutions. Equipped with 2 redundant ASI inputs and 2 mirrored ASI outputs, a FastCaster network adapter can be set in IP to TS or TS to IP conversion direction.

FastCaster preserves Single Frequency Networks (SFN) and can thus be used with synchronized DVB-T/H transmitters (SFN over IP).
