Artel Multimedia transport

Artel products can be found in media transport solutions around the world. Whether it’s broadcasting live sports, award ceremonies, current events, delivering real-time multimedia on large screens in a stadium, or managing the on-premises security, Artel has award-winning, flexible solutions for transporting real-time multimedia. 

By adding Artel product to our catalogue, we are expanding our offering of broadcast-quality media transport solutions. We would like to highlight a few interesting product ranges. 

Quarra
The development towards IP-based workflows in broadcasting is unstoppable. In order to synchronize the timing of all IP components in current solutions, there is a need for a PTP solution that can synchronize a large network (hundreds of devices) in nanoseconds. Artel’s Quarra switches add layer-2 IEEE 1588v2 PTP timing and synchronization, so that your audio and/or video network always runs in sync. 

Artel offers three variants of the Quarra switches. From small networks to large, there is a suitable switch for every situation. In the table below, we compare the variants with each other.

Fiber-, Digi- and InfinityLink
In addition, Artel is known for its FiberLink, DigiLink and InfinityLink product lines, all of which facilitate a system for distributing media over IP networks and fiber, such as baseband 4K, 3G/HD/SD-SDI, audio and also SMPTE ST2022 and J2K. With the Infinity- and DigiLink modules and manager, you can easily design your own media transport system, which can then be managed in the SNMP or HTTP management system.

For smaller applications, FiberLink will suit your needs. If you are looking for a larger transport system, DigiLink and InfinityLink are the perfect solutions. These systems are easily scalable and the modules are hot swappable, making it simple to change parts quickly in case of modifications to your system.
