  Adtec Digital designs and manufactures innovative MPEG, MPEG2 and MPEG4 technology for digital television delivery, IPTV, commercial ad insertion, and multimedia digital video applications.
     The DTA-325x series is specifically designed for turning MPEG, ATSC, Digicypher, or DVB based digital television services from ASI, SMPTE-310, Satellite, Terrestrial, or Cable QAM distribution to IP distribution. It is ideal for Telco TV and Broadband TV systems utilizing MPEG 2 or MPEG 4 AVC (H.264).





     Digital television service operators wishing to re-distribute MPEG, ATSC, Digicypher, or DVB based services to next generation IPTV based services will find the DTA ideal. Available inputs include ASI, SMPTE-310, Satellite, ATSC Terrestrial/QAM and GIGE with optional ASI and SMPTE-310 outputs. All Adtec DTA’s support multicast and unicast configurations including SPTS/UDP or RTP, MPTS/UPD or RTP, MPEG and DVB tables and conditional access capabilities including decryption and encryption. The DTA 325x Series is ideal for next generation television networks focused on IPTV.

  • Applications
  • Telco IPTV / Broadband IPTV: Cost-effective and reliable delivery of video, audio and data services to an unlimited number of consumer set top boxes or PC/MAC clients on an IP network.

  • Satellite (DVB-S) Digital TV:Turnaround of digital satellite programming to IPTV or ASI, without the need for external QPSK receivers. (DTA 3250)

  • Terrestrial (ATSC) Digital TV: Turnaround of digital terrestrial programming to IPTV or ASI, without the need for external ATSC receivers. (DTA-3250, 3254)

  • Cable (QAM 64/256) Digital TV: Turnaround of digital cable programming to IPTV or ASI, without the need for external QAM receivers. (DTA-3250, 3254)

  • IP over MPEG 2 Transport: Delivery of IP data services to set top boxes or computers over MPEG-2 transport using IP encapsulation.


  • Benefits
  • Conditional Access: The DTA-3250 and DTA-3254 provide DVB-CSA and AES conditional access decrypt and encrypt capabilities. DVB-CSA decrypt is facilitated through two rear mounted CACI slots; encryption is available as fixed key BISS or Simulcrypt based interfaces compatible with most major DVB-CSA CAS vendors. AES decryption and encryption include support for Adtec’s OST and Verimatrix VCAS for set top and computer-based decryption.

  • Integrated DVB-S and ATSC/QAM Tuners: The DTA-3250 features two integrated QPSK satellite tuners for receiving programming delivered via DVB-S and two integrated ATSC/QAM tuners for receiving terrestrial ATSC or cable QAM signals. The DTA- 3254 features four integrated ATSC/QAM tuners.

  • Aggregation of ASI, SMPTE-310 SPTS or MPTS services: The DTA-3150 and DTA-3154 offer two DVB-ASI and one SMPTE-310 input ports enabling it to aggregate locally encoded SPTS or re-muxed MPTS from another router or receiver.

  • IPTV: Gigabit Ethernet distribution of digital television services includes SPTS over UDP or RTP for Set Top and computer decoding and MPTS over UDP or RTP for bundled distribution.

  • ASI: An optional 3 port mirrored ASI output interface provides integration with traditional distribution methods including Cable, Satellite, and Terrestrial.

  • SMPTE-310: An optional 2 port mirrored SMPTE-310 output interface provides integration with ATSC distribution.

  • Flexible Configuration & Control: Controlling and configuring the DTA-3250 or DTA-3254 is easy. Whether using the integrated front panel keypad and LCD, Terminal or remote Web page interface, they respond rapidly and reliably to the desires of the operator.

  • IPTV Electronic Program Guide: Adtec’s edjeGuide Server integrates seamlessly with our DTA routers to deliver an interactive electronic program guide to IP based Set Tops or a PC/MAC edjePlayer and includes support for many IP based Set Tops. Adtec’s edjeVOD enterpise VOD server, an optional service installed on the edjeGuide server, is ideal for small stream count implementations like medical, educational or hospitality. Interfaces to external VOD servers facilitate large stream count VOD requirements including direct to home Telco TV.
