Introduction:

Ikusnet is the product that changes everything about the way that News contribution is accomplished. With Ikusnet you have the choice of sending live News via satellite or the Internet. Ikusnet integrates all the functionality of an ENG van into an extremely compact portable package.

When you send live News using the Internet, you can adapt to varying network conditions using advanced technology developed by Prodys from many years experience with optimizing IP protocols and algorithms such as H.264. Of course Ikusnet also supports live satellite transmission using its DVB-ASI interface, or you can store your material on local SD card storage for transmission to the base station at a later time.

Introduction:

The Ikusnet portable system and Ikusnet Studio can automatically connect to each other through the Internet; this allows live transmission or video file transfer to be performed. Ikusnet Studio is able to decode a live feed sent via the Internet or satellite; it is also able to encode a video stream to be sent back to the remote portable station for cue, fold-back or monitoring.

This compact 1RU unit includes internal disk and can also be connected to an external unit to enable storage of received videos for later access through the local network.

Ikusnet Studio can be set-up and controlled by its web interface across your network. It can also be monitored from its front panel LCD display. Video and audio signals/levels and connectors are of full broadcast quality. Operationally the unit benefits from Prodys’ extensive live broadcast experience since 1995.
