Cabletime was at ISE 2017 to show new features and updates to its range of Interactive IPTV and Digital Signage systems.
Cabletime introduced new features and updates to the MediaStar Media Players, Decoders and Chassis products.
To widen the application scope for MediaStar, Cabletime introduced several hardware products including a 1U rack mount chassis with either single or double blade capacity, each with its own power supply. In addition, there is now a stand-alone appliance chassis for customers requiring only one blade in a portable format and an optional dual redundant failover PSU for the MediaStar 9 slot 770 Chassis. This can be retrofitted for existing customers.
Other new hardware developments include an IP Re-Caster blade, which converts Multi-cast to Uni-cast and vice versa; and a new IP Multi Mux blade which enables content to be received in TS IP format rather than the more common Terrestrial or Sat Mux formats and then allows reassignment of selected IP streams onto an enterprise network.
The MediaStar 782 IPTV and Media Player and the Digital Media Decoder 780 are both now available with new remote controls, including wireless keyboards and mouse, one with an accelerometer permitting users to point and use as an interactive wand.
