Transport gateway for DVB-ASI over Telecom DS3, T3, or E3 full rate TDM connections.  Ideal for highly reliable contribution feed links.  Allows a full rate duplex TDM carrier signal with dedicated bandwidth at synchronous clock speeds, for ultra reliable contribution feed transport of encoded DVB-ASI programs in full duplex mode.  The Thor Gateway system transmits up to 44 Mbps of ASI content in both directions over a Third Layer T-Carrier type TDM coaxial connection.  High speed Layer 3 TDM connections have guaranteed bandwidth through a synchronous full duplex link and are therefore much more reliable than Internet based cloud solutions.  At least two Thor Gateway units are needed to make a connection.  For most installations, no configuration is needed.  System can be configured to either strip or insert null packets to provide either VBR or CBR MPEG-TS over DVB-ASI Output.  Provides direct optical fiber type reliability when optical fiber access is not available.  When configured properly at the encoders, this system can reliably transport 4 HD or 10 SD programs over MPTS ASI bi-directionally via BNC terminals.  Each Gateway has a Tx and Rx BNC terminal for outgoing and incoming DVB-ASI programs.
