Las Vegas, NV – April 9, 2018 – D2D Technologies is pleased to announce at NAB 2018 that the D2Flex 3000 IP/ASI Video Gateway has shipped and is now deployed at several broadcast customers to provide reliable transmission of high quality video with low latency across the public internet powered by the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol. SRT provides the best quality video possible by accounting for packet loss, latency, jitter and dynamically adjusting for bandwidth between each endpoint. The receiving system can also regionalize at head‐ends and transmitter sites with advanced channel branding, a dynamic PSIP electronic program guide and insert the critical emergency alerts (EAS) required by the FCC.
“Whether you are looking for an alternative to the high cost of satellite distribution, switching to ATSC 3.0 and need to send your ATSC 1.0 signal across town to a channel sharing transmitter, or deliver your signal to the head end for cable carriage, the public internet is becoming the go to method for low cost content distribution”, comments Steve Doll, President of D2D Technologies. “With the D2Flex 3000, you can deliver your content reliably while simultaneously protecting your valuable assets through the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol with AES 128 or 256 bit encryption.”
The D2Flex 3000 is built on the same technology as last year’s award winning D2Flex 6000 and it is upgradeable to many of the same core features. It can remultiplex up to 4 IP input streams along with ASI and create 4 independent IP outputs along with ASI. The D2Flex 3000 can set the major and minor channel numbers on each output stream and pass through or regenerate the necessary PSIP tables. The optional D2Guide can run on the D2Flex platform to provide dynamic PSIP data insertion from popular services like Titan TV and Gracenote (TMS) or from a spreadsheet with programming for the next several weeks.
The D2Flex 3000 platform can also host the optional D2Alert application which inserts digital video from an Emergency Alert System (EAS) like the Digital Alert Systems DASDEC or the Trilithic EAS system. The D2Alert system constantly monitors the EAS system and when a valid alert is found, it is automatically inserted into all of the configured programs until the alert is complete. With D2Alert broadcasters can comply with FCC requirements and quickly inform viewers in the event of an emergency.
The D2Flex 3000 features dedicated ASI input and output ports for full duplex Transport Stream over IP (TSoIP) conversion of up to 4 independent streams. Digital streams over IP are handled by a standard RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet port that also supports browser based management and SNMP remote monitoring with configurable traps.

D2Mux now supports BIM’s PSIP Data Service
The D2Guide dynamic PSIP insertion option for D2Mux now supports the Broadcast Interactive Media (BIM) Programming Information System Protocol data service for easy FCC compliance.
Download press release here (PDF).
Jacksonville, FL – July 10, 2015 – D2D Technologies announces support for the Programming Information Systems Protocol (PSIP) data service from Broadcast Interactive Media (BIM) for its line of D2Mux multiplexers. Current customers can easily add the D2Guide option to their D2Mux which will automatically harvest program schedules from BIM’s PSIP data service.
D2Guide is an option for the D2Mux multiplexer line that inserts and maintains the PSIP guide data for ATSC digital transport streams. The program guide information for each channel can come from BIM’s MediaStar Scheduling tool or imported from a standard spreadsheet. Once the schedules are loaded, D2Guide creates all of the PSIP tables required for FCC compliance including STT and 12 hours of EIT, in addition to optional RTT and 12 hours of ETT. Unlike other solutions which rely on a server to stream the PSIP tables to the multiplexer, D2Guide reliably builds the tables on the proven D2Mux platform.
BIM’s PSIP data service is the standard file format that stations feed into their PSIP generators. The PSIP data is transmitted along with the digital television (DTV) signal which then shares important station and programming information. As required by the digital broadcasting transition that took effect in February of 2009, the FCC requires PSIP information to be a part of broadcasting signals and updated regularly. BIM produces daily PSIP data files for major broadcast groups and also low power, cable, and other television providers.
“We are excited about adding support for BIM’s PSIP data service in the D2Mux so that our customers can easily create and maintain their Electronic Program Guide for all of their digital channels”, comments Steve Doll, President of D2D Technologies. “It is important to provide viewers with relevant guide information especially on channels that feature non-episodic content like movies or sports. By partnering with Broadcast Interactive Media, stations can now easily insert PSIP data into their digital stream as well as display current and accurate schedule information on their websites for a better viewer experience.”
The D2Mux platform that hosts the D2Guide application is a cost effective HD/SD MPEG digital video multiplexer that transforms services from ASI and Gigabit Ethernet into a tailored transport stream ready for distribution over ASI, IP and SMPTE-310. Service components from any input can be used to create each output for true flexibility in building MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 services. The D2Mux enables easy channel rebranding with full control over PSIP/SI branding including major and minor channel numbering.
Availability and Pricing
D2Guide support for BIM’s PSIP data service is available immediately from D2D Technologies. Current customers of the D2Mux can add the D2Guide option for $1,800. New customers can purchase the D2Mux with the D2Guide option starting at $5,000 which features full multiplexing capability of 2 ASI inputs and 2 ASI outputs. Options for IP Stream multiplexing, SMPTE-310 output and Emergency Alert EAS insertion with D2Alert are also available. Contact BIM to subscribe to the PSIP Data Services and the MediaStar Scheduling suite.
