DiviTrackIP. The ProStream 1000 analyzes the complexity of all incoming video streams and sends messages to the encoders through the IP network. All streams from an Electra 1000 encoder must be sent to the same ProStream 1000. MPTS (multiple STC clocks per chassis) is also supported. -
Page 14: Digital Program Insertion Support
DPI commands (triggers) via Ethernet. These commands are sent via the SCTE 104 protocol, and result in the encoder placing SCTE 35 DPI messages in the outgoing MPEG Transport Stream (TS). (The Electra 1000 also accepts commands via the SCTE DVS/525 draft protocol.) The resulting messages carry metadata used by downstream content insertion equipment to choose and insert the proper content. -
