Ocaster IPTV Reflector
LAN-to-LAN reflection system
Key Features
For Distribution of Multicast and Unicast Video between LANs and WANs.
The Optibase Ocaster LAN-to-LAN reflection system efficiently bridges enterprise LANs by converting multicast video traffic to unicast as well as unicast stream back to multicast for network-efficient transmission of IPTV content between sites.
The Ocaster system intercepts real-time IP traffic, reflects and re-distributes in
ultra-low delay without impacting the original stream or interrupting service.
Transmitting Full Motion Video (FMV) between LANs across WAN connections
usually involves a wide variety of network connections, from low bandwidth links
to fiber and microwave relays to satellite transmission. These connections can be
costly, have limited bandwidth and for the most part, have restricted multicast capabilities.
The Optibase Ocaster bridges local area networks by repackaging selected
multicast traffic on an enterprise network as unicast and sending across WAN
connections to one or more destinations. As a unicast MPEG stream, it can
be encrypted through existing encryption systems or be transmitted over a
VPN to ensure security of sensitive or proprietary video and data. The unicast
can be played back at its destination or repackaged as multicast by another Ocaster
at the destination LAN and played back by PC players and IP set-top boxes.
The Ocaster can also be used to duplicate a single video stream to multiple unicast
destinations, to enable private sessions or secure content to be shared with entities
around the world.
on all MPEG-compliant devices. It is fully interoperable with third-party MPEG-2 and MPEG-4
H.264 standard definition and high definition IPTV encoders, making it the optimal solution
for real-time processing of any IP stream. An advanced traffic shaping algorithm ensures
quality of service (QoS) reflecting video payload on any network while maintaining consistent
bandwidth utilization.
Solution to enable operators, enterprises and military organizations to broadcast and share video
between local and remote sites. It is fully interoperable with third-party MPEG-2 and MPEG-4
H.264 standard definition and high definition IPTV encoders, making it the optimal solution for
real-time processing of any IP stream.
