High-speed network for transmitting video and audio data
With Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), MEDIA BROADCAST has developed an exclusive, fast and secure broadband network for distributing all types of content. Either dial-up or permanent connections can be used. Great flexibility with regard to interfaces and data formats, together with a media-specific range of services, makes ATM the backbone of the modern broadcast infrastructure.
Over the ATM network, you have direct access to your material, such as for
- digital recording, transmission, and saving of video in real time
- remote access to cutting-position systems
- editing of complex productions at decentralized locations
- live play of edited items and publicity productions
- all-in-one solutions for media-oriented communications.
For perfect teamwork
ATM is not just a fast network for transmitting video and audio data all over the world; it is also the perfect working medium. Productions can be distributed to several cutting and editing locations – including external ones – and research into material can be carried out at any workstation. Any data that is required – such as pictures or items of archive material – can be obtained over the network. And the finished edited items can be stored on an audio/video server on the network.
Much more than audio/video transmission – ATM the universal medium
ATM transmits your audio/video programming cost-effectively, free of loss, and in optimum broadcast quality. Live events can be transmitted in real time, and file transfer of video sequences and photos can be carried out quickly. The use of data compression in compliance with the MPEG-2 standard allows the transmission of high-quality pictures at favorable rates. Last but not least, ATM can be used in principle for any type of data – such as voice and data communications or IP transmissions.
ATM is adapting and growing all the time
On no account will you be obliged to replace your complete technology overnight so that you can take advantage of our ATM broadcast services. The multitude of interfaces available makes it possible to connect analog as well as digital studio equipment and to carry out file transfers in numerous formats.
As simple as phoning – secure and cost-effective into the bargain
ATM also has many advantages in terms of operation and costs. For example, setting up connections for real-time transmissions is as simple as dialing from a telephone. And you can even pre-select the bandwidth you require. You pay only for the actual transmission time or the volume of data that has been transferred. Further plus points of the ATM network are a high degree of availability, reliable transmission, and data security.
Features of ATM broadcast services:
- Broadband ATM dial-up connections, specially tailored to the needs of broadcasters and post-production staff.
- Real-time video transmission (also live signals) over dial-up and fixed connections.
- Non-real-time video transmission as a favorably priced or fast file-transfer solution.
- Several simultaneous connections to different destinations over one connecting line.
- Specification of the bandwidth at connection set-up.
- Dial-up to 120 Mbit/s.
- Provision of access classes with guaranteed bandwidth for Constant Bit Rate (CBR) when dialing.
- High availability through a virtual-network concept.
- Linking of cutting-location systems.
- Pricing based on traffic volume.
- Integration of future studio applications and interfaces.
