Caton Technology is leveraging IBC2022 to show how its innovative and accessible technologies can help users unleash the full benefits of IP connectivity.
One of the highlights at booth 1.F36 will be the Caton Transport Protocols (CTP), a suite of IP transmission technologies developed to guarantee stability, quality and security even in challenging network conditions.
CTP includes more than 30 algorithms and deep learning mechanisms to provide extremely high resilience, including a “very powerful” forward error correction approach.
The CatonNet Video Platform (CVP) wraps CTP up in a fully managed IP network for real-time transport of high-quality video over any distance locally, regionally and globally. The ultra-low-latency, high-security service is equally suited to occasional use and permanent circuits.
CVP can also be deployed in conjunction with Caton Publisher, a remote production platform. It supports anything from live streaming from a mobile phone to professional multi-site remote production with switching in the cloud, as well as delivery to all platforms.
CTP also powers Caton NDI Gateway, a software application which extends the popular NDI networking format beyond the single-site LAN, allowing it to be used across any distance, over typical internet connections, and in remote production workflows.
“Broadcasters and video professionals all recognise the potential and the convenience of using IP over existing communication networks,” said Gerald Wong, Senior Vice-President, Global Operations, Caton Technology. “But, actually implementing IP connectivity can be challenging, involving skills and technology which may be new to them.
“What we provide, through CTP, CVP and our ecosystem of encoders, decoders and software applications, is simple access. Using Caton tools, which are generally software applications, users can simply and quickly establish connections, whether that is to the next building or the other side of the world.”
