Visium MD16 Multimedia Gateway
The Visium™ MD16 5RU chassis supports up to 16 Visium blades. It is designed to deliver Pay-TV content to non-residential locations, including hotels, hospitals, sports arenas, businesses and multi-dwelling units (MDUs). The platform supports satellite, cable and IPTV operators. A version of the MD16 optimized for satellite operators has a built-in wideband satellite switch that reduces cost and installation complexity. A combination of Visium blades optimizes the MD16 to source, process and broadcast over 300 HD channels in multiple formats, all while keeping the content secure, legal and manageable. Deployed in thousands of locations, the Visium MD Multimedia Gateway is a proven and reliable platform with advanced features that significantly reduce the complexity of video distribution. Video from satellite, cable, multicast IP or streaming sources can be output into traditional broadcast networks, such as QAM, DVB-T and analog TV. It also supports multicast IP outputs and streaming HLS/Dash to mobile devices. Transcoding, watermarking, re-encryption and remote management also contribute to the Visium platform’s ability to reliably deliver secure and high-value content to private networks.
