Ocaster IPTV Reflector

Military-grade Ocaster IPTV Reflector bridges enterprise LANs by converting multicast video traffic to unicast and vice versa to enable accurate, network-efficient transmission of IP streams over WANs.  It is ideal for transmitting full motion video (FMV) between LANs across WANs—even those that use low-bandwidth network connection links and have restricted multicast capabilities.

Ocaster IPTV Reflector intercepts, reflects and redistributes real-time IP traffic with ultra-low delay and without any interruption in service. All critical geo-location and telemetry Cursor on Target (CoT) and key length value (KLV) metadata are fully retained. Once multicast traffic is repackaged as unicast MPEG streams, it can be encrypted or transmitted via VPN to ensure secure transmission. At the destination, the video may be broadcast as unicast or repackaged as multicast by another Ocaster IPTV Reflector for playback by PC players and IP set-top boxes.

Ocaster IPTV Reflector uses industry standard MPEG protocols for playback on MPEG-compliant devices and is fully interoperable with MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and HEVC / H.265 SD and HD IPTV encoders. An advanced traffic shaping algorithm ensures quality of service (QoS) reflecting video payload on any network while maintaining consistent bandwidth utilization.
