The VDE-5100 is an IP de-encapsulator with IP inputs and 6 ASI output ports. When coupled with the VRD-5100card-based decoders, you have a high density decoder solution for MPEGoIP carried video. The VDE-5100 fits into any openGear, along side other openGear products. The VDE-5100 provides you with the ability to route any of the IP encapsulated TS to the ASI ports and specify a redundancy scenario by adding a backup IP source for each ASI output. The use of IP transmission of MPEG transport streams is becoming more cost effective and more prevalent across many applications, from contribution to primary distribution and intra facility routing. Sencore's line of openGear products are the ideal solution for decoding and monitoring of multiple channels in a head end or various points within the network.
