DTV Innovations is showcasing advanced ATSC 3.0 solutions at the 2023 NAB Show in Las Vegas, including its MetaWright 3 signaling platform and Medusa complete station solution. These tools are being used by various TV stations to enhance services like datacasting and personalized content.
MetaWright 3 Simplifies ATSC 3.0 Architecture
The MetaWright 3 system streamlines the ATSC 3.0 setup process by handling signaling, delivery, and service announcement generation. It supports ROUTE encapsulation and includes a built-in broadcast gateway. This integrated solution minimizes administrative overhead and is available in standalone server, virtual machine, or Docker configurations.
Deployments of MetaWright 3 have been successful at stations like TelevisaUnivision’s WUNI in Boston and NBCU's WTVJ in Miami. At WTVJ, the solution demonstrated dual over-the-air (OTA) and broadband delivery of ATSC 3.0 virtual channels.
Medusa Reduces Costs for Low-Power Stations
DTV Innovations’ Medusa offers a cost-effective option for low-power stations by combining an encoder/DASH packager with MetaWright 3 in a single-server solution. This setup eliminates the need to integrate multiple vendors' hardware and software, reducing physical space, power requirements, and time to market.
Boston’s WCRN used Medusa to implement next-generation datacasting services such as remote learning and secure data delivery for companies and first responders. The station became the region's first broadcaster with an ATSC 3.0 platform.
