Artel Video Systems simplifies Ethernet traffic transport

Artel Video Systems, a provider of broadcast-quality video transport equipment, says its DLM205 and DLC205 9-port Ethernet aggregators and optical transceivers are now shipping.

The latest addition to the company's DigiLink video transport platform, Artel says both single-slot modules are the ideal solution for broadcasters, CATV operators, telco operators, and video service providers looking to aggregate Ethernet traffic across a single optical or electrical connection.

The DLM205 and DLC205 can aggregate up to nine channels of 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet traffic for transport across electrical or fiber-optic networks. Supporting a total capacity of 18 Gbps of Ethernet traffic, the non-blocking modules combine three electrical and two multipurpose SFP module cages with four internal ports to support traffic from other modules in a chassis, plus chassis management into a single Ethernet connection. The DLM205 features integrated DL-Manager HTTP and SNMP capabilities to enable DL4000 chassis in-band management.

"More users are looking for a solution for transporting a combination of contribution quality video and Ethernet data across a single optical link," said Richard Dellacanonica, president of Artel Video Systems. "The DLM205 and DLC205 are designed to maximize efficiencies and cost savings for broadcasters, video service providers, and other users by aggregating up to nine channels of Ethernet data and video-over-IP traffic, including chassis management, for transport across a single optical or electrical link."
