MPEG-2 transport streams
MediaPump is a family of open system MPEG-2 transport
stream platforms especially suited to connecting high-speed
synchronous MPEG-2 multi-program interfaces to PCI bus
based open system platforms.
Hardware Options
MPEG-2 to PCI Gateway
By connecting PCI based servers directly to a broad
array of MPEG-2 multiplexer, encoding and transmission
equipment, MediaPump serves as a gateway for integrating
end-to-end digital broadcast systems. MediaPump is designed
for supporting MPEG-2 server applications, and has been
successfully deployed in Ad insertion, Pay-per-View
and other DVB to IP applications.
Supports Professional Interfaces
MediaPump supports a wide range of vendor specific proprietary
and DVB compliant interfaces, including most parallel
serial interfaces used within the MPEG-2 digital media
marketplace. It offers a full range of input/output
MPEG-2 transport streams, multiplexing and splicing
functionality. MediaPump splices and multiplexes MPEG-2
single program transport streams on-board in real time,
into a multi-program transport stream. The ability to
install multiple boards in the same server together
with on board processing allows MediaPump to scale well
with the needs of intensive applications.

Available Software
MediaPump SDK
MediaPump is designed for easy integration with customer
applications. A comprehensive MediaPump software development
kit provides device drivers for industry standard server
platforms, a range of MPEG-2 stream processing services,
plus a uniform and easy to use programmer's interface
for controlling the receipt, transmission, and formatting
of high-speed MPEG-2 streams. The SDK is designed to
make integration efforts into MPEG-2 digital media applications
simple and straightforward.
