1. INTRODUCTION
With the improved speed and reliability of IP networks the IXG CloudBridge Server provides an ideal
option for delivering high-quality contribution video over unmanaged IP networks. The IXG CloudBridge
Server features a unique Forward Error Correction mechanism (+FEC option) that allows for a seamless
error free delivery of audio and video streams over any network that has not been optimized for media
transport.
The IXG CloudBridge Server is VistaLINK® capable, offering remote monitoring, control and configuration
capabilities via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) giving the flexibility to manage operations,
including signal monitoring and module configuration from SNMP capable control systems (VistaLINK®
PRO NMS).
The IXG CloudBridge brings flexibility, performance, and feasibility in a single module.
