Product Overview
The SBT3-9100 HD video transport solution provides superior performance and reliability due to the unrivaled ACT-L3™ compression and networking features which include robust forward error correction, burst error protection, and bandwidth shaping technologies.

The system’s ability to simultaneously output HD and down-converted SD broadcast video streams coupled with its support for both digital and analog HD input/output formats sets the SBT3-9100 apart from other HD transport solutions. In addition, Streambox’s integrated approach to HD video transport enhances system flexibility and applicability to a variety of business-critical broadcast and enterprise purposes, while curbing cost and accelerating bandwidth recovery.

Each SBT3-9100 HD encoder/decoder comes with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports providing multiplex/demultiplex configurations for video stream redundancy. The second Ethernet port may be designated as a management port for instant access from anywhere. The HD system can use the transport layer of existing ASI networks to deliver ACT-L3™ compression more efficiently.

The integrated Streambox HD solution enables users to leverage the Streambox® Store and Forward option which provides enhanced storage, management, and transmission of HD video streams over IP-based networks.

The SBT3-9100 system also works seamlessly with other Streambox products such as the Streambox® Distribution Server and Streambox® IFB Server. The combination of these products enable customers to effectively launch their HD broadcast and newsgathering capabilities into the 21st century.

Streambox^® ACT-L3™ Codec
The ACT-L3™ codec features an advanced proprietary video compression technology optimized for interlaced and progressive video and display systems. ACT-L3™ provides higher HD video quality at much lower data rates than MPEG and H.264 compression. The ACT-L3™ codec is adaptable to user selectable data rate requirements with constant bit rate and variable bit rate modes.

The robust family of ACT-L3™ Video Transport solutions features innovative error correction and bandwidth shaping technologies which manage, control, and mitigate packet loss and correct irregularities common to video delivery over packet-based networks.
