SynFoNizer - DVB-T/H SFN network redundancy


Running at the transmission-side of DVB-T or DVB-H networks, SynFoNizer provides a cost effective and high reliable solution for synchronizing redundant Single Frequency Network (SFN) feeds and performing a seamless switch-over in case of one network distribution failure.

end-to-end SFN distribution

Customers request for high-level quality of services mandating broadcast operators to guarantee the delivery of TV signal. Knowing that a single de-synchronization or wrong SFN signaling can disturb transmission and cause a complete black-out, broadcast operators use double paths (satellite, microwave, ...) to safely distribute the content with SFN information towards each transmitter. 
Each path introducing a different propagation delay (typically 250 ms for satellite and few ms for microwave), SynFoNizer guarantees a seamless SFN switch from one path to another one in case of one path failure. SynFoNizer can handle up to two DVB multiplexes at a time.
SynFoNizer supports various passthru mechanisms to guarantee service continuity in case of power down.
