Fujitsu IP-9500

The Fujitsu IP-9500 connector has been designed to monitor IP-9500 high-performance encoder/decoder devices. The Fujitsu IP-9500 is an audio/video codec that utilizes advanced MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) encoding to perform real-time transmission of HDTV at low bit rates over DVB and broadband IP networks.

About

Applying the latest MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) video processing algorithms, IP-9500D can provide best-in-class video fidelity for an application in Electronic News Gathering (ENG) as well as broadcast contribution and distribution networks. Compared with MPEG-2 encoding, the streaming bit rate is reduced by more than half. By utilizing sophisticated MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) compressing algorithms, the high video fidelity remains to be implemented. As a result, HDTV content can be transmitted at narrow bandwidths over existing DVB satellite or low-cost broadband IP networks.

IP-9500D utilizes auto-sensing 10T/100T/1G Ethernet for IP connectivity as well as ASI I/O ports for connecting to DVB networks. IP-9500D also provides industry standard HD-SDI (SD-SDI) and HDMI I/Os for connecting to HDTV (SDTV). Operating with an IP-9500 encoder, IP-9500D is mainly utilized for delay-sensitive ENG applications. A bidirectional voice intercom's capability is provided across broadband networks for interactive communication among remote HQ and local branches.

This connector displays information on different pages, as described in the Usage section of this document.

The connector manages independent counters, and a reset button is available to clear the content of these values as well as the internal counters of the webpage of the device.

From version 1.0.0.2, the DataMiner Connectivity Framework has been implemented in the connector.
