F(csc) = 4.43361875 MHz 1. Analog Broadcast studio, no problems since high quality rubidium or other accurate oscillator used. 2. Digital distribution to a professional IRD. This depends upon the following; Where the 27MHz MPEG clock comes from This may be internally generated (poor) Derived from PCR (locked to clock source in the encoder) potentially better Derived from a high stability external source (frame sync input) best. 3. Consumer or pro-sumer set top box. Almost certainly internally generated from a low-cost crystal oscillator. Poor.

With digital distribution of analogue signals, the best solution is to keep the chrominance and luminance signals separate and AVOID using composite!

The NMS
Compression vendors will usually want to sell an NMS with their system It will be their own NMS It will be proprietary and designed to work with their equipment only If third party equipment is supported, it will only be for limited products that are needed to make their portfolio complete It can provide vendor lock-in and restrict the equipment choices you can make in the future!
13.02.2014
Appear TV
35
The NMS
Appear TV takes a different approach. We try and build redundancy options into our chassis so that an NMS becomes optional. This can reduce system complexity and cost When an NMS is required, we provide a choice of open NMS platforms to match any price and functionality requirement that are equipment vendor agnostic
Appear TV can provide leading NMS solutions, when they are needed, using Partners who have integrated our solutions. This approach avoids vendor lock-in!

Protecting the distribution network For cable, the distribution mechanism is almost always over IP Redundant networks, supporting video and broadband / internet services Video services delivered efficiently via RTP over UDP multicasts Transient network disturbances provide the biggest risk of QOS affecting issues Typically, QOS is protected by adding SMPTE2022 FEC Only one delivery network is used at any one time. FEC overheads can be significant (40% or more of total video traffic) Still not effective in coping with long duration burst errors Appear TV can of course provide the same solution, .but we also have a better way
13.02.2014
Appear TV
38
Make an edge device that monitored the traffic arriving via both the A and B networks simultaneously Align and take IP packets from either network, seamlessly, to re-construct the output from both networks You would have a seamless solution using both networks to provide 100% FEC without having to add SMPTE 2022 FEC at all!

You can nominate an input to act as a back-up. For example, if an IP input fails, use the satellite input as back-up. Or use a DTT input to back up a satellite feed etc. This is the INPUT PORT redundancy feature. The same concept can be used for SERVICE LEVEL redundancy where incoming transport streams are different
