Media Over IP Transport Solutions – MD8000

The MD8000 series of Media over IP Transport solutions is Media Links’ flagship solution for transporting 4K, 3G/HD/SD-SDI, and DVB-ASI over IP networks. The MD8000 solution offers broadcasters, telecoms, and network providers a cost-effective alternative to traditional video transport services. The MD8000 family addresses the need for broadcasters and carriers to connect directly to native IP networks for long-haul, multiple-wavelength transport links, which results in significant cost savings. It offers JPEG XS encoding & decoding.

Media Links IP media gateway now supports JPEG-XS

JPEG-XS achieves high quality compression ratios of up to 10:1 and beyond. This makes it ideal for the edge of the IP network where bandwidth is typically quite limited and where the transport of uncompressed high quality video is just not feasible. JPEG-XS (ISO/IEC 21122) provides visually lossless quality with sub-millisecond (<1 video frame) delay and is especially designed for latency-critical applications such as live remote event production over wide area networks.

As an integral component of the Media Links’ common LAN/WAN architecture solution portfolio, the MDP3020 provides video, audio and data transport to/from the fringes of the IP network.

Media Links Joins TICO Alliance

12 October 2015, Stansted UK: Media Global Links Co., Ltd. (MGL), has announced it has joined the TICO Alliance; the growing coalition of companies united to set the bar for next generation UHD/4K infrastructure by establishing TICO compression in the new IP-based Live ecosystem.

The TICO Alliance was founded in April 2015 and brings together leading Broadcast equipment manufacturers, OEM providers, broadcasters, electronics brands and technology companies. The group is working to establish the TICO lightweight compression technology in the new IP-based Live production ecosystem that allows users to seamlessly leverage the existing SDI-based workflows to 4K/UHD without the cost of a complete renewal. Membership is open to any company active in the Broadcast industry.

John Dale, Director, Media Global Links said: “As more broadcasters explore the use of IP video, the alliance’s efforts have become part of a larger trend set by a variety of industry players to find better approaches for delivering IP video. Media Links is pleased to be part of this evolution.“TICO is promoting an approach using lightweight compression that it believes will ease the move to 4K and IP within broadcast production facilities,” continues Dale. “It looks like the TICO Lightweight Compression could enable some compelling new solutions for managing UHD links within and outside the studio while providing a great balance between performance and cost.”
Other existing Alliance members include Altera Corporation, Artel Video Systems, Belden Grass Valley, Embrionix, Deltacast, EVS Broadcast Equipment, Image Matters, Imagine Communications, Keisoku Giken, Macnica Americas, Nevion, Ross Video, Tektronix, and Xilinx.
