Media Links enables long-distance PTP signal transmission

Media Links Inc., in collaboration with SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation and Seiko Solutions Inc., has conducted high-precision PTP synchronous transmission of broadcast signals over a long-distance Ethernet line (between Tokyo and Kagoshima) using our product MDP3020 SFN. Synchronous transmission of broadcast signals over such long-distance Ethernet was previously thought to be impossible, but the practical application of this system has made it possible to transmit broadcast signals over IP lines, which is expected to improve the efficiency of signal transmission for terrestrial digital broadcasting in the future. Terrestrial digital broadcasting plays an extremely important role in society as an infrastructure that widely delivers important content such as news and disaster information to the public. However, accurate transmission of broadcast signals over long distances mainly relies on wireless communication, which poses…
