Media Links to Present SDI to IP Case Study at VidTrans 2017
posted:
This year’s VidTrans conference “Making IP Video Production a Reality,” will focus on various types of networking and video technologies and their application to video transport. In addition to its technical presentations and round-tables, the event includes an exhibition that will showcase the latest applications, technologies and products.
In the exhibit hall, Media Links will show an advanced, wide area IP Media networking demonstration that reflects the convergence and seamless transport of the complete suite of broadcast signals (whether video, audio or data) onto a comprehensive, distributed IP switch fabric. This demo will feature rapid switching with Media Links’ high density IP router, the MDX 4090, with PTP (Precision Timing Protocol) capabilities, plus Media Links’ proven MD8000 Platform, all managed through Media Links’ Element Management System (ProMD EMS) with touch panel control software. This solution enables content to be moved more simply, faster, and economically than ever before.

Through its pioneering work with the Video Services Forum (VSF), Media Links has been intimately
involved in facilitating the widespread adoption of interoperable and open compression standards for transmitting high quality content over IP.
