The TSD-100 analyzes an MPEG-2 Transport Stream to identify occurrences of selected components. For example, when SCTE-35 triggers are carried in operator specified PIDs, the TSD-100 can simply use the presence of these PIDs or use the splice commands contained within, to assert a GPIO output to alert an operator or downstream equipment to the occurrence of the SCTE-35 trigger.
The TSD-100 provides a number of innovative tools to simplify your workflow. For example:
 In "SCTE-35 trigger" mode, GPIO outputs are controlled by splice-insert commands.
In "PID detected" mode, each GPIO output is triggered by the arrival of a transport stream packet with the selected PID, and is then negated after a user-specified timeout.
Each GPIO output has an associated user-specified timeout. This lets you control the duration of the output pulse to meet your system requirements.
Each GPIO output can indicate either the presence or the absence of the specified PID. For example, it can be asserted for one minute whenever the PID occurs, or it can indicate that the PID has not occurred in the last hour.
As a member of the openGear family, the TSD-100 shares a common control interface, known as DashBoard, with a broad array of other products.
To make configuration truly easy, the TSD-100 also provides a Heads-Up Display on separate monitoring outputs; both analog video and SDI are available. When activated, card status and parameters can be viewed and adjusted using the card-mounted finger joystick and an easy to use menu system.
The TSD-100 is housed in the openGear DFR-8300 series frames. It is compatible with both 10-slot and future 20-slot frames. |
