Convert MPEG-2 Transport Streams between the DVB-ASI and SMPTE 310 formats.

The ASI-310 Converter offers a number of unique features to ease integration into your environment.

It can simultaneously convert ASI-to-310 and 310-to-ASI.

The 310 output can be frequency-locked to a reference 310 input or a high-stability onboard temperature-compensated crystal oscillator can be used.

The 310 bit rate is user-selectable (19.392658 or 38.785316 Mb/s) as is PCR re-stamping of 310 output stream.

A wide range of ASI input rates can be converted to 310 by adding or deleting null packets as needed to maintain the exact output data rate.

GPIO outputs can be used to signal error conditions such as loss of video and excessive ASI input rate.

Error conditions are logged and can be viewed.

Based on the openGearT open-architecture modular frame, the ASI-310 offers a complete user interface through DashboardT, the free Java-based application that provides a common control and monitoring interface for multiple openGear frames and cards.

Also available is a heads-up-display on separate monitoring outputs that allows card status and parameters to be viewed and adjusted using the card-mounted finger joystick.

The following features make the ASI-310 the solution of choice for ASI-to-310 and 310-to-ASI conversion:

Two converters in one card: ASI-to-310 and 310-to-ASI, simultaneously
Temperature-compensated crystal oscillator for accurate stable 310 output
Frequency reference for the 310 output via 310 input (if selected and a signal is present)
Processes 188, 204, or 208 byte transport stream packets to accommodate a variety of applications
GPIO outputs for alarm indication
Second 310 output (“monitor out”) allows output monitoring while in operation
Second 310 output can be connected to 310 input to provide an ASI signal at the 310 data rate
Compatible with openGear frames and control and monitoring software
Alarms, error log, and user controls available though the openGear common control and monitoring application, Dashboard
Fits openGear DFR-8300 series frames, allowing conversion of up to 10 or 20 Transport Streams 10-slot or 20-slot frame
Cards are hot-pluggable for ease of configuration and maintenance
