OVERVIEW
IVP-3000 is a compact 1RU broadcast transmission platform designed by Caton Technology. Equipped with 6 modular slots, the IVP-3000 is fully customizable with the different modules to meet your existing workflow needs. Take advantage of the built-in Caton Engine for industry-leading reliable video transmission over the open internet.
IVP-3000 is a CPCI standard design platform, and it supports HEVC/H.264/MPEG-2 standard and high definition encoding and decoding, ASI I/O, AVS+ or a mixture of them. A reliable, flexible and affordable solution for all of today's transmission needs.
Powered by The Caton Engine
Caton Engine’s R2TP is an IP-based transport protocol designed specifically to solve QoS/QoE problems for live data transmission over the Internet. Applying highly advanced network congestion control techniques, R2TP maximizes Bandwidth Utilization Ratio (BUR) for high-quality content over nearly any given bandwidth.
R2TP applies highly efficient error correction mechanisms by combining a variant Automatic Repeat Request [ARQ] retransmit method and Caton’s Adaptive Network Code (ANC) engine to ensure highly reliable transmissions with lower latency.
FEATURES
Powerful Modulars Platform
Fully configurable to meet a wide variety of workflows, the IVP-3000 offers a family of purpose-built modules that support multiple resolutions, formats, and functions. Configure input, output, resolution, encode and decode format, as well as full multiplexing, scrambling and descrambling easily with the IVP-3000.
The Caton Engine
The IVP-3000 utilizes the Caton Engine, an industry-leading set of adaptive protocols designed for real-time and file-based workflows over the Open Internet, for highly reliable real-time transmission of professional, broadcast-quality video.

Professional Formats
Professional Encode and Decode
With different selections of modules, the IVP-3000 supports SD, HD, and up to 4K within a compact 1RU chassis. Mix and match different formats in one box with SD and HD, NTSC and PAL, SDI and HDMI, input and output. All modules function independently but can also work in concert across multiple cards.
To meet the demands of broadcasting professionals, the IVP-3000 uses the broadcast quality NTT encoders and decoders. This allows IVP to provide super-low latency as low as 40ms. For the best configuration, IVP can achieve below 2 seconds latency from end to end.
24x7 Enterprise Operation Ready
Web-based Remote Control
The IVP-3000 is an enterprise-grade 1RU modular appliance with dual power supplies and hot-swap modules. Designed to the highest standards for mission-critical 24/7 operation, the IVP-3000 is ready for the most demanding professional environments.
With a built-in web configuration interface, the IVP-3000 can be easily set up and monitored. Dedicated control ports on board, as well as full remote network connectivity, provide a flexible environment for configuring, monitoring, and managing one or a dozen IVP-3000s.
