MOBILE VIEWPOINT TERRALINK-XC 19 INCH RACK ENCODER

The TerraLink-xC is a 19-inch 1U high system with two bonded Ethernet connections. The TerraLink-xC is the ideal backup solution for SNG trucks but also enables any video vehicle with a bonded wireless uplink.

The system supports both DHCP and fixed IP number configuration and has a separate LCD touchscreen for management and configuration. The system can also be managed using the LinkMatrix panel which makes it possible to configure maximum bitrate, video resolution, and delay. The Terralink-xC can be extended with 8 times 3G/4G modems.

We offer encoders in 3 different models: 

• TerraLink-1C: single HD/SD-SDI input 
• TerraLink-2C: 2 HD/SD-SDI inputs
• TerraLink-4C: 4 HD/SD-SDI inputs

Usage Scenarios

• Live uplink from vehicle or location using bonded Internet, or satellite links like BGAN and KA band
• Backup solution for SNG trucks
• Live radio report via the public internet (ISDN not needed anymore)

Fixed Delay

The delay can be set from 0.8 sec up to 60 seconds  When the delay is selected this will remain the end-to-end delay during the complete broadcast. This is what is considered fixed delay time. IFB or return audio is also available at less than a second delay.

Store & Forward

The Terralink-xC is bundling technology to become a high volume data Store & Forward unit and data bonding unit for Internet access. This means that the system uses its entire available bandwidth to transport any kind of file through its connections to an FTP server.

Hotspot and data bonding 

Like most WMT systems also a hotspot is available for Internet access. The hotspot uses the bonded bandwidth of connections together providing enormous upload speeds. The device also supports full data bonding across all connections and is available via the WiFi hotspot or the Ethernet connection. Both the hotspot and data bonding functionality work in parallel with the transmission of video, however, video is always prioritized so no interruptions due to unexpected data transmissions.

Manage & Control

In combination with the web-based platform LinkMatrix where it is possible to control, manage and administer all WMT devices and connections. The LinkMatrix is a multi-destination and makes it possible to publish the same feed on many platforms including Social Media and private CDNs.

Product Highlights:

• 2x Ethernet connections; extendable with 3G/4G modems
• 1U Rack
• SDI input
• Part of the WMT solution and utilizing the SDI playout system as the receiver
• Automatic control of video encoding bandwidth based on available bandwidth
