New York's WRNN-TV Carrier Broadcast Video over IP Trunks

WRNN-TV, an independent regional television station and news network reaching approximately 5 million cable and satellite subscribers in the New York, has deployed Tut Systems' M2-400 video trunking system to encode and distribute video broadcast footage between its studio and broadcast TV facilities. The station is transporting MPEG-2 4:2:2 broadcast video between multiple locations. At the same time, it required the capability to utilize MPEG-2 4:2:0 in a low-latency mode for real-time interview capabilities between the studio anchors and reporters in the field. Tut System's M2-400 platform ensures low latency and fully synchronized audio/video channels over the IP network. In addition, the M2-400 eliminates the jitter and delay often associated with IP delivery platforms.



Tut Systems' M2-400 chassis is capable of holding multiple encoders, decoders, and DVB-ASI satellite interfaces over both IP and ATM networks. The M2-400 utilizes MPEG-2 video and MPEG-1 audio streams and processes both analog and digital content. http://www.tutsys.com
