Trilithic announces a new product to revolutionize the receipt and delivery of EAS Messages in Video Delivery Networks. The EASyIP EAS Network Receiver extends the area of EAS message reception for Cable TV, IPTV, or a private network, while improving the reliability of the message delivery. The EASyIP Network Receiver will change the way EAS networks are designed and operated by allowing providers to operate EAS over a regional network.
The Network Receiver is the culmination of customer input and Trilithic Engineering to solve a growing problem. Many video delivery networks are expanding to the point where they must now service many EAS zones. This creates the requirement to monitor more radios in multiple geographic locations. The patent pending EASyIP EAS Network Receiver can be located in a facility where reception is clear and the alert can be sent over the company’s network back to the EASy Series Encoder/Decoder for processing.
When an EAS alert is received by the EASyIP EAS Network Receiver, the alert is immediately stored. The Network Receiver then processes it for transport to the designated IP addresses, which can be programmed using a standard web browser. The transport message is either processed by the encoder/decoder or a busy message is returned. The EASyIP EAS Network Receiver continues to contact the designated EAS devices until the alert is processed. This eliminates lost alerts, as each alert stays queued until received and acknowledged by the Encoder/Decoder.
The EASyIP EAS Network Receiver will integrate with any EASy Series product, EASyPLUS Encoder/Decoder, EASyIP IPTV Encoder/Decoder, or EASyPLUS Decoder.
The geographic size of video networks has created multiple challenges in monitoring additional Local Primary-1 or LP-2 stations and in some areas the reception of these signals or NOAA weather radio is difficult. In addition, The EASyPLUS or EASyIP Encoder/Decoder can handle duplicate messages, providing a level of redundancy that has not been available before. With better message reception, audio message storage and queuing, and EAS message redundancy, the EASyIP EAS Network Receiver has changed the way EAS networks are designed and operated.
