IBC 2011: Hall 13. Stand No. 373/IPTV Pavilion. Cabletime will be revealing further enhancements to its MediaStar range of IPTV distribution solutions. These include MPEG encoders, LAN-Casters, Digital Media Decoders (DMDs) and Media Manager software.
The Cosnumer Electronics control industry standard protocol is now fully supported on all MediaStar Evolution 780 DMDs enabling them to turn screens on and off via the interconnecting HDMI cable. This enables users to have programmed power-saving control over lower cost commercial grade screens that don’t have built in RS232 connectivity so reducing design complexity, installation time and cost.
Signals from any IR remote control can now be received by a MediaStar Evolution 780 DMD at the screen location and then routed back through the IP network to drive the encoder’s IR blaster function.
Users can control remotely located source devices such as DVD players, satellite receivers and cameras, as well as enabling Red Button functionality on the screen.
Nick Bradford, Managing Director at Cabletime, said: “We are looking forward to displaying all of the new enhancements to the Evolution range at IBC, which is the ideal showcase. Many of our customers will have experience of Media Manager but the new features provide added functionality, improved performance and fantastic value to the solution.”
Cabletime has offices in Newbury, Berkshire and in Mount Arlington, New Jersey.
