Intelligent ASI Distribution with Embedded Transport Stream Analytics

The Evertz 500IDA9-ASI-TSMLITE is an intelligent 1x9 DVB-ASI reclocking distribution amplifier designed for broadcast headends, digital television transmission, and satellite distribution networks. Combining high-density signal distribution with essential MPEG Transport Stream health monitoring, it eliminates the need for separate external stream analyzers across critical ASI signal paths.

Real-Time Transport Stream (TS) Health Diagnostics

Unlike standard distribution amplifiers, the 500IDA9-ASI-TSMLITE analyzes the incoming MPEG payload to ensure transport stream compliance and stability:

• Core Signal Telemetry: Real-time monitoring for Transport Stream Loss, Sync Byte Errors, and packet Continuity Counter anomalies.
• Payload & Structural Analysis: Performs active Program Association Table (PAT) monitoring, PID list verification, and continuous bitrate analysis across the stream.
• Automated Alerting: Instantly reports signal degradation or transport stream faults to central facility management systems via SNMP.

High-Density Modular Integration & VistaLINK® Management

Designed for high-density broadcast racks, the module installs into a single card slot of the 3RU Evertz 500FR frame, accommodating up to 15 monitored ASI DAs per chassis alongside an Evertz 500FC or 500FC-DA-HD Frame Controller. Full integration into the VistaLINK® NMS environment provides real-time telemetry, trend logging, and remote configuration across the entire ASI distribution topology.
