Icareus Playout IP Encapsulator IE100 is a DVB-H compliant IP datacast solution using MPE (Multiprotocol Encapsulation) of IP data into MPEG-2 Transport Stream.
The Encapsulator can be used both in centralised network configurations where IP Encapsulation is performed at the head-end, and in distributed network configurations where IP Encapsulation is performed at the broadcast cell. When configured for head-end usage, the Encapsulator can be deployed in an effective N+1 redundancy configuration, where each Encapsulator provides the MPE feed for a regional or an SFN network. When used at the broadcast cell, the Encapsulator can multiplex and re-time-slice national MPE feeds with local MPE feeds.
