SmartGate OneBeam

DVB-SIS Control Stream Generator

Until now, two different distribution networks have been required to deliver a content bouquet to DTH and DTT (DVB-T/T2) viewers. OneBeam is the ENENSYS end-to-end solution to build DTT multiplex from one or two DTH sources. It relies on the same satellite transponder to deliver both DTH services and to feed DTT transmitters, drastically reducing the OPEX costs with fast ROI.

Highlights

OneBeam Orchestrator

Running at the head-end, the SmartGate OneBeam is the central body of the OneBeam solution, providing in-band control and signaling to remote TxEdge. It provides the whole DTT configuration as a regular MIP inserter or DVB-T2 Gateway and generates the SFN timestamp information. It also provides the description of in-band services, stemming from one or two feeds, to assign to the resulting DTT multiplex and defines the related SI to update. In DVB-T, it can generate the MIP packet. The SmartGate can be used as a standalone product as an input of the multiplexer.

Seamless Redundancy – TXGuard

ENENSYS' patented technology, TxGuard, is the unique 1+1 redundancy mechanism that guarantees seamless switch-over, avoiding TV black-outs during switch-over operations between redundant SmartGates. The TxGuard applies to ENENSYS' seamless switches, ASIIPGuard or IPGuard V2, to perform the seamless switch-over operation.

Emergency Warning System

As an option, it offers Emergency Warning System (EWS) support, providing information about immediate dangers such as earthquakes, tsunami, etc. The TxEdge replaces all the services in the SFN/DTT multiplex by one EWS service under EWS trigger-control, generated by ENENSYS EWSCaster.

Standard Solution

OneBeam solution is fully compliant to the newly DVB-SIS standard, providing interoperability with any vendors.

Applications

  • Simulcast DTH services and Terrestrial DTT
  • Create DTT multiplex from existing DTH services
  • Secure DTT site feeds using DTH signal as redundancy
  • Covering DTT ‘black spots’ with DTH services
  • Deploy regional service broadcasting
  • Implement Emergency Warning System

Other Benefits

  • Straight-forward OPEX cost reduction
  • Short-term Return on Investment (ROI)
  • Unmatched field proven technology
  • End-to-End solution with TXEdge adapters
  • DTT SFN roll-out
  • Fully compliant with DVB-SIS standard
  • Transparent for DTH receivers
  • Reuse existing head-end system
