The D2Flex 5220 for is a powerful 1/2 rack unit MPEG video multiplexer and IP network gateway that creates digital video transport streams from any service component over ASI and Gigabit Ethernet. Advanced DTV channel branding, video processing and optional PSIP data insertion serve to create a channel lineup that viewers are looking for. 

Each D2Flex 5220 card can easily merge local content with national channels and remove unwanted elementary streams like secondary audio to meet demanding bandwidth constraints.  As a full duplex IP network gateway, you can also send and receive multiple services over IP with Forward Error Correction to ensure that content is properly received. Broadcasters, cable and IPTV operators can now create the digital services needed with an openGear system.

Applications

Distribution: Easily aggregate services from many sources and local programming with service processing and preparation for transmission over satellite uplinks, terrestrial broadcast, cable and IPTV.

Regionalization: Regionalize multiplexes at head-ends and transmitter sites with service add/drop and advanced channel branding.

Key Benefits

Easily Rebrand Channels with EPG:  Control the PSIP/SI branding of all your channels with advanced ATSC or DVB table processing and insert the necessary guide information so your customer can find the programs they want.

Optimize Transport Bandwidth: Get the most out of your transport by creating up to 8 independent Multiple Program Transport Streams (MPTS) from all of the service inputs. Satisfy demanding bandwidth constraints by removing unwanted elementary streams like secondary audio or even drop complete programs.

Full Duplex IP Video Gateway: The D2Flex can remultiplex up to 8 streams from ASI or GigE and create 8 independent IP output streams with Forward Error Correction (FEC) compliant with SMTE 2022-1/2.

Emergency Alert Insertion: Quickly inform viewers of emergencies by inserting EAS into all the programs of your ATSC digital transport stream with the optional D2Alert.
