Thomson Video Networks Delivers Highly Reliable DVB-T2 Offering

Thomson Video Networks announced the availability of an advanced technology offering for DVB-T2 environments, combining the company's widely deployed NetProcessor T2 gateway and Amethyst redundancy switch. The NetProcessor T2 gateway is a versatile and powerful solution for cost-effective generation of DVB-T2 streams, and the Amethyst smart switch enables seamless switching between two T2-MI streams. Working together as a complete solution for terrestrial television, the two products not only enable national network head-ends to generate a fully compliant DVB-T2 stream, but also allow local head-ends to receive and manipulate incoming streams for regionalization. 

Thomson Video Networks' NetProcessor acts as a pure DVB-T2 gateway, capable of generating up to four simultaneous and independent multi-PLP T2-MI streams. In addition, it can act as a reverse gateway to receive and apply re-multiplexing and scrambling capabilities to (T2-MI)-1 streams. The Amethyst solution can perform seamless switching between T2-MI streams from two NetProcessor T2 gateways for clean device redundancy. One Amethyst device can integrate up to four independent switches. 

The NetProcessor T2 gateway requires only a software license, and no additional hardware beyond the Amethyst, to provide redundancy. The solution is currently shipping.
