ASIGuard II
Seamless ASI switch
Applications
• 1+1 automatic changeover for:
• DVB standards (DVB-T/T2/H/S/C)
• DTMB standard
• ISDB standards
• ATSC/ATSC-MH standards
ASIGuard II is ENENSYS cost-effective ASI seamless switch
• TS seamless switch-over
that enables 1+1 automatic redundancy mechanism of ASI equipments
• SFN seamless switching
ASIGuard II performs an automatic change-over between two MPEG-2 Transport • Alignement of 2 identical MPEG-2 TS but
