The Ventura line of modular signal transport solutions is designed with carrier-class specifications and features in mind. Whether it is video transport over IP, telco interfacing to SONET/SDH, or fiber overlay transport—with or without signal multiplexing—the Ventura platform fulfils today’s and future signal transport needs. The NEBS Level 3 – compliant Ventura platform can transport analog or digital video with associated audio as well as data in a variety of formats, thus providing probably the most versatile products for high quality content delivery. JPEG 2000 and MPEG2 compression schemes enable video transport over a wide range of network interfaces and bit rates.
The Ventura line supports all professional video formats, as well as Ethernet, RS422, DS3 and 155Mbps signals. The VS103 3RU, 10-slot chassis and the VS101 1RU, 3-slot chassis can each run on AC or DC power, are compatible with all Ventura cards, and meet the stringent requirements of NEBS Level 3 compliance. Ventura cards are hot-swappable, and in many instances are field-configurable, using SFP modules to support CWDM, DWDM and 1310/1550 transport. Ventura equipment protects signal integrity with integrated HD jitter attenuation, sub-millisecond recovery from signal interruptions and a self-configuring browser-based management system.
