When you send live News using the Internet, you can adapt to varying network conditions using advanced technology developed by CCS from many years experience with optimizing IP protocols and algorithms such as H.264. You can store your material on local SDHC storage card and upload to an FTP site directly from the IkusNet.
The best aspect of Ikusnet is that it's not only a
transmission unit but, also has all the functionality
of a News gathering suite; with two video monitors
and illuminated control touch pad you have all the
tools you need at your finger tips for News Contribution.
IkusNet Portable Rear Panel  
The Studio companion for Ikusnet news contribution system.
The Ikusnet portable system and Ikusnet Studio can automatically connect to each other through the Internet; this allows live transmission or video file transfer to be performed. Ikusnet Studio is able to decode a live feed sent via the Internet or satellite; it is also able to encode a video stream to be sent back to the remote portable station for cue, fold-back or monitoring. This compact 1RU unit includes internal disk and can also be connected to an external unit to enable storage of received videos for later access through the local network.
Ikusnet Studio can be set-up and controlled by its web interface across your network.
It can also be monitored from its front panel LCD display.
Video and audio signals/levels and connectors are of full broadcast quality. Operationally the unit
benefits from CCS' extensive live broadcast experience since 1990.
