Syndicated Television Distribution

About

IDC continues to provide video delivery solutions that address the issues that are driving the industry, including the growing demand for high definition video delivery and 3D content delivery.

Our full range of end-to-end solutions have been designed  to meet the needs of the broadcast television industry. IDC's DVB-IP delivery technology is ideally suited for this and offers significant advantages over the technologies used in legacy television networks

SuperFlex Receivers and Datacast XD products enable complete end to end system solutions for digital television.

Increase Efficiency

Using a file based, tapeless workflow provides several advantages over real-time transmission and dubbing:

• Guaranteed delivery eliminates the need for re-feeds
• 100% accurate delivery minimizes QA requirements at the receive sites
• Easy integration with third party scheduling and automation systems

IDC integrates the receive client and storage directly on the satellite receiver, eliminating the need for a separate catch server.  The use of DVB-S2 maximizes the efficiency of satellite bandwidth.

When used with the IDC’s Pro Video line of receivers, both real-time and non real-time delivery can be supported with a single device.

Protect Your Content

Protect your investment with a number of security features:

• Targeted Distribution – identify exactly which sites where you want to send content
• Send and Secure – Send content but keep it hidden from view allowing you accommodate last-minute bookings without having to re-feed
• Encryption – Irdeto Cyphercast, DVB-CAS, IDC Flexkey and Datacast XD encryption options

System Interoperability

We provide distribution solutions regardless of the format:

• MPEG-2
• MPEG-4 (including h.264)
• DV formats (DVCAM, DVCPRO, etc.)
• Other formats

The use of industry standard interfaces ensures compatibility with existing systems.  We can also custom tailor solutions to meet your specific needs.
