FlexXtract+

The commercial 2wcom FlexXtract+ DAB+ Distribution Extractor demodulates an incoming DAB+ data stream, even if it is via IP, ASI or from a DVB-S or DVB-S2 signal and converts the data into a standard ETI-signal according to EN 300799 or an EDI-signal according to TS 102 693 to feed DAB or DAB+ transmitters.

• Advantages
  • Supports for IP line transmission (strong robustness):
    • Forward error correction (Pro-MPEG FEC, EDI-FEC): enables reconstruction of lost data packets, avoids audio dropouts
    • Packet reordering: incoming data packets are sorted into original order if the IP network swaps them
    • Seamless switching (dual streaming) [optional]: automatic seamless switch to a second incoming stream if the main stream fails for some reason
    • Data spreading/reordering [optional]: time scrambling of data packets over a defined period to protect the stream like a swarm against transmission failures
    • Satellite backup*: automatic switch to the satellite backup if the main stream fails for some reason
      * Seamless switching available as an option
  • Several contribution/distribution technologies supported (E1, Satellite, IP, ASI)
  • Fallback solutions between these in case of failure (e.g. satellite as backup)
  • Easy handling: One device for different applications
• Three different possibilities of transport stream input
  • DVB-S/S2 tuner
  • ASI (optional)
  • Ethernet (optional)
• Data output
  • ETI: Standardized output stream from a DAB/DAB+/T-DMB multiplexer over a standardized 2Mbit link (E1).
  • EDI (optional): EDI performs data transmission via global IP network (ETI via IP). Compared to ETI there is no need of a dedicated line.
• Transport stream output (optional)
  • ASI
  • Ethernet
• Monitoring and Control
  • via webbased GUI
  • via Satellite In-Band Remote Control (SIRC)
    (e.g. changing configuration, firmware update, relay switching)
  • via SNMPv2c and relay (RF and ETI/EDI parameters)
• Conditional Access Decryption
  • On request
