VS909
IP Media edge processor
Nevion’s IP Media Edge Processor
(VS909-IPME) is a new multi-functional processing module in the Ventura family of modular video solutions.
The VS909-IPME incorporates advanced techniques for the processing and protection of any media flow interfaced to IP onto a single module. The VS909 provides an unprecedented range of security, protection, duplication, translation and quality assurance features including forward error correction
(FEC), Nevion’s proprietary Streaming Intelligent
Packet Switching (SIPS), launch delay offset (LDO), and network address translation including multicast, unicast, VLAN, RTP, and many more.
Focusing entirely on processing IP flows to optimize network performance, the VS909 is a key addition to
Nevion’s media over IP adapter. Due to its dedicated hardware packet processing and complete isolation between Ethernet ports, the VS909 is ideal for protecting the media network edge and providing the technology for IP networks to deliver the continuous quality performance demanded by professional broadcasters.
Applications
• Professional broadcast contribution
• S
tudio-to-studio media exchange

Key features
• Transport of any real time media flow on IP
• Standards-based Forward Error Correction supporting SMPTE 2022-1 for protection against packet loss created by occasional network errors
• Streaming Intelligent Packet Switching (SIPS) providing perfect video over IP protection switching using dual network feeds
• Dual network interfaces supporting Gigabit
Ehternet using SFP technology
• Full IP Media Edge interface isolation with Bastion host level performance

High density
Simultaneous processing of 8 x IP/UDP or IP/UDP/RTP streams over Gigabit Ethernet.
Stream smoothing
Provides optimal linearization (reduction of packet jitter) of received IP media ensuring maximum decodability by downstream equipment.
Stream monitoring
Provides analysis of received IP media and protected network flows on packet loss and packet jitter.
Real Time Protocol (RTP)
Supports the insertion of RTP headers to UDP streams to provide packet timing and sequencing information allowing FEC or SIPS to be added for protection.
Encoder partner protection
Provides 1+1 hardware protection leveraging SIPS for even higher levels of protection against faults. This enables two encoder cards (in different chassis in different racks) to partner with each other via an
Ethernet cross-strap and provide dual network feeds with RTP coherence.
Launch delay offset
Provides the ability to delay the second network feed by a configurable amount, ensuring that the actual data packets transiting the network at any time are different so any simultaneous network events will not impact the same data on each path.
Network address translation
Support for hardware translation of unicast to multicast or multicast to unicast address changes.
Network Edge Security
Complete segregation of media and network infrastructure to guarantee separation of customer and transport networks. This ensures that there is no possibility for access into the private transport network whether intentional or accidental.
Remote upgrade
Supports remote firmware upgrades via the AEMS
(Ventura shelf element manager) for the latest in function upgrades and fault resolution.
NEBS Level 3
Certified to perform in telecommunication installations providing reliable performance in harsh environments.

Element management
The Ventura AEMS shelf element managers, FCS183-AEMS and
FCS101-AEMS, provide a comprehensive set of status, control and alarm variables through a Web interface. The AEMS is a powerful
Linux based embedded management system that also supports
SNMP and XML. It also acts as an agent for card upgrades, storing multiple images for each card in the VS103 or VS101 chassis. Users can apply these images to install upgrades from a remote location.
