ProStream 9100 Device Features
The main features and capabilities of the device are as follows:
Modular platform - Provides a density of up to 5 IOMs (Input Output Module) in a single, one-
rack unit (1-RU) chassis. The modular design allows a flexible and easy field replacement of
cards as well as field upgrades of SW and HW features.
IP IOM - ProStream 9100 receives and transmits data via a GbE port. The GbE card occupies
two IOM slots and is mounted in slot 1 and slot 3. Each device supports a single IP IOM card.
Each IP IOM card has four active GbE ports.
DVB-ASI SCR IOM - ProStream 9100 receives and transmits data via four DVB-ASI ports and
supports a maximum bitrate of 140 Mbps. Each port can be configured as an input or output
port. This card also supports DVB-CSA (Common Scrambling Algorithm).
NOTE: For further details, see DVB-ASI IOM.
8VSB Input card - ProStream 9100 receives ATSC terrestrial TV. It receives four independent
ATSC 8VSB signals on the inputs and outputs MPEG-2 Transport Streams over GbE or ASI
output ports.
Input Extraction capability - The device extracts incoming feeds and displays their structure
and elements on the control interface in a user friendly view.
Full multiplexing capability - Content is routed from any input port to any output port.
Advanced scrambling - ProStream 9100 scrambles the input content in compliance with the
DVB-CSA standard. This feature is available for both GbE and DVB-ASI output ports, in both
NMX and standalone control modes.
Transcoding - ProStream 9100 transcodes any codec to any other codec, video and audio
streams for Broadcast and OTT Mobile/Web video and audio streams.
