Description

The ILC150E is a flexible audio embedder and video transport card designed for use in the InfinityLink media transport platform.  The ILC150E will embed analog or AES audio into SDI and SDTI as well as transport all standard 270Mb/s digital formats.

The ILC150E functions as both a 270Mb/s video over fiber optics transport module and a four channel analog or two stereo pair AES-3 digital audio embedder. Audio can be inserted into any one of four groups. Additional ILC150E modules can be cascaded to add additional audio groups.

The ILC150E uses Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optics including multi-mode and single-mode 1310nm, 1550nm, and CWDM options. Provisioning and monitoring is accomplished using switches, LEDs, front monitor jack, SNMPv2, or HTTP via InfinityLink Manager.
