Ip Transport

Highly reliable audiovisual signal transmission, broadcast quality and borderless coverage

Signal distribution via encoded TsOip-SRT-IP

Intecgroup has next-generation networks based on fibre optics, radio links and satellites, designed to optimise audio/video signal contribution and distribution services. In particular, for the transport of contribution signals to the headends of our broadcasting partners and for digital multiplex contribution signals from regional centres, Intecgroup uses proprietary technology that exploits fibre optic transport, as well as redundant, high-capacity FTTC networks.

Our distribution platforms are connected to the headends of RaiWay, Eitowers, Persidera, D-Free, as well as to the M-Three teleports in Rome and Milan and the Globecast teleport. We are also authorised to contribute to the Mediaset and Sky platforms.

The use of the DTM (Dynamic Synchronous Transfer Mode) standard optimises routing configuration and management activities, ensuring fully automatic and reliable operation even in the event of malfunctions, and guaranteeing consistent performance regardless of the type of transport used. This infrastructure, which is redundant at several levels and interconnected with the international backbone network of Telecom Italia, Fastweb and Vodafone Italia, enables us to offer customers very high-capacity connectivity, compatible with all types of signals (IP, ASI, SDI, HD SDI, even uncompressed), to any destination.

Mainlink

Mainlink is an advanced audiovisual signal transport system that operates using network devices and utilises UDP and TCP protocols, in both unicast and multicast modes. The solution offered by Intecgroup guarantees effective correction of transmission channel errors and enables the recovery of lost packets thanks to a dedicated network protocol. Among other functions, this technology manages the synchronisation of signal distribution, ensuring high-quality video distribution via IP transit connections.

In addition, Mainlink provides quality of service (QoS) for the real-time transport of video broadcast signals, with minimal delay and guaranteed signal delivery, regardless of the distance between the end points involved.

To complete the solution, a central control platform monitors all transmission links in real time, ensuring signal delivery certification and activating remote alarm systems for rapid intervention in the event of anomalies.
