IPGuardV3 Automatic 1×1 IP Switch for IP Redundancy

IPGuardV3 enables 1+1 Automatic IP switching with a hardware bypass mechanism. Designed for IP architectures, it can be used to switch between main & backup IP sources based on a set of configurable criteria in order to provide reliable IP transport and error-free streams.

Automatic IP Switch
IPGuardV3 switches automatically between IP-based devices or IP networks by selecting the best streams based on configurable criteria. It is designed to provide automatic 1+1 redundancy of:
– any equipment that delivers TSoIP or IP streams such as encoders, multiplexers, DVB-T2 gateways, MIP inserters, data servers,…
– any IP network used to transport IP streams, handling different delays.

Seamless Switching
The IPGuardV3 offers seamless switching capability between two identical MPEG-2 TS, T2-MI, RTP or STL streams that are carried over redundant IP-based networks with different delays: it aligns both streams to perform a seamless switching. When combined with ENENSYS gateways, IPGuardV3 can provide a seamless switch-over between two gateways for ATSC3.0, DVB-T/T2 & ISDB-Tb networks.

100% Service Availability
By default, the IPGuardV3 offers an IP bypass mechanism in order to enable 100% of service availability in case of power outage. In this case, incoming IP streams are still delivered at the output.

High Density Solution
Up to 6 IPGuardV3 modules can be housed in the same 1RU HDc chassis. One IPGuardV3 module is able to manage up to 6 TSoIP switches based on advanced TS criteria, or up to 6 RTP Streams. It can also manage up to 60 IP switches based on IP conditions. With DaisyChain functionality, several IPGuardV3 can be serialized, increasing the whole processing capability to be convenient in applications dealing with high number of streams.
