MediaPump is a family of open system multiplexer interface boards that provides high-performance MPEG-2 transport stream processing and DVB/PCI interface capabilities. The patented MediaSplice technology enables seamless, artifact-free, real-time splicing of MPEG-2 transport streams while support for multiple boards in a single server allows MediaPump to scale with the needs of intensive video applications.
High Performance Multiplexing
The MediaPump on-board multiplexer provides high performance MPEG-2 transport stream processing and minimizes the host platform overhead required to perform this function. This and all other MediaPump functions are easily accessed via the MediaPump application programming interface (API).
DVB/PCI Interface
By connecting PCI based video servers directly to a broad array of DVB equipment, MediaPump serves as a gateway for integrating digital broadcast systems and has been successfully deployed in video-on-demand, interactive TV, and video over IP applications.
MediaSplice™ Real-Time Splicing
MediaPump's patented award winning MediaSplice™ technology allows the seamless, real-time splicing of any two valid MPEG-2 transport streams enabling successful implementation of ad insertion and video-on-demand applications.
MPEG-2 to PCI Gateway By connecting PCI based servers directly to a broad array of MPEG-2 multiplexer, encoding and transmission equipment, MediaPump serves as a gateway for integrating end-to-end digital broadcast systems. MediaPump is designed for supporting MPEG-2 server applications, and has been successfully deployed in Ad insertion, Pay-per-View and other DVB to IP applications.
Supports Professional Interfaces MediaPump supports a wide range of vendor specific proprietary and DVB compliant interfaces, including most parallel serial interfaces used within the MPEG-2 digital media marketplace. It offers a full range of input/output MPEG-2 transport streams, multiplexing and splicing functionality. MediaPump splices and multiplexes MPEG-2 single program transport streams on-board in real time, into a multi-program transport stream. The ability to install multiple boards in the same server together with on board processing allows MediaPump to scale well with the needs of intensive applications.
MediaPump SDK is designed for easy integration with customer applications. A comprehensive MediaPump software development kit provides device drivers for industry standard server platforms, a range of MPEG-2 stream processing services, plus a uniform and easy to use programmer's interface for controlling the receipt, transmission, and formatting of high-speed MPEG-2 streams. The SDK is designed to make integration efforts into MPEG-2 digital media applications simple and straightforward.
