AirStream User Guide and Technical Manual

Introduction

NewStream is a rack-mounted microwave van transmit system designed to combine

transmission technologies into a single 2 RU chassis platform. It is designed to make

the gathering and transmission of news events a seamless and comprehensible task.

NewStream offers multi-mode operations which can include:

• ENG [Electronic News Gathering]

• SNG [Satellite News Gathering (Upgrade Option)]

• CNG [Cellular News Gathering (Upgrade Option)]

The LiveGear Receiver [LGR-1000] is a playout device that receives NewStream IP

transmissions via the Internet and provides an HD/SD-SDI output. Up to six New-

Stream transmitters can be received simultaneously using one LiveGear Receiver.

You can also use the VMS-1100 video media server to transcode the IP transport

stream from the LiveGear Receiver for delivery to laptops, desktops, smartphones and

tablets.

Advanced Vislink algorithms provide efﬁcient, robust, and persistent video transmissions

of unmatched quality. NewStream aggregates multiple 3G/4G LTE cellular channels

and optimizes data throughput. This mobile unit delivers consistently smooth and

dependable pictures and sound despite the occasional cellular trafﬁc surge or spotty

signal.

Leading-edge H.264 adaptive bitrate encoding technology provides remarkable video

resolution with minimal latency. NewStream transmits at approximately half of the data

rate required by MPEG-2 based systems. Lost or stalled data packets are seamlessly

compensated for with Vislink’s exclusive predictive forward error correction algorithms.

This feature provides unparalleled signal integrity throughout your entire event

coverage.

NewStream User Guide and Technical Manual

Features

The award-winning NewStream system offers multi-mode operation which can

include:

• ENG [Electronic News Gathering]

• SNG [Satellite News Gathering]

• CNG [Cellular News Gathering]

Transmission Integrity – Consistent Microwave, Cellular and Satellite

transmission is possible using the NewStream system. Multiple aggregated

3G/4G LTE internal modems are optimized to provide regulated and consistent

video transmission data throughput. NewStream utilizes up to six cellular

modems to improve persistence and network diversity. Service providers may

be mixed and matched to provide optimum network performance according

to regional network coverage. Data rates for each modem channel are

continuously adapted to meet the real-time network transfer rate. An additional

modem provides Internet connectivity to communicate across all active

modems.

Video Quality – Efﬁcient adaptive bit rate algorithms maximize video data

throughput producing remarkable video resolution with minimal latency in the

presence of dynamic cellular network ﬂuctuations.

HD/SD Broadcast Video Quality: User - selectable MPEG-2 4:2:2/4:2:0 [ENG/

SNG] or H.264 [AVC] 4:2:0 [CNG] encoding proﬁles. Video Inputs for the

NewStream system include composite and HD/SD-SDI video.

Reliability – Using wireless 3G/4G LTE cellular, Wi-Fi satellite backhaul

communication infrastructures, NewStream delivers video/audio signals when

and where you want them.

Power Capabilities – NewStream can operate continuously using your van’s

DC-to-AC inverter outlet.

Conﬁguration Options – Use a laptop with an Internet connection to conﬁgure

NewStream from its Web interface. Wireless conﬁguration is possible using a

PC, tablet or smartphone when the NewStream IDU is connected to a wireless

access point.

Incorporates dual mode ENG/SNG [upgrade option]: DVB-S and DVB-S2

modulation with 10 MHz high stability reference crystal oscillator.

Common Multi-mode Modulator and Encoder

Simpliﬁed User Interface: Ergonomic programmable multi-function OLED

pushbutton switches minimize front panel controller congestions.

Cost effective, space saving, comprehensive multi-purpose outside

broadcasting microwave transmission system.

Incorporates leading-edge wireless technologies

Features [continued]

Compact, space-efﬁcient 2RU x 19” EIA all-inclusive rack mount design for

ENG, CNG and SNG control [CNG and SNG are Upgrade Options].

Preserves legacy BAS ENG Van Transmission functionality: the NewStream

system allows use of existing ENG Nycoil Assemblies conﬁgured for Type N,

TNC or Triax connections.

Space Efﬁcient ENG ODU: 2, 4, 7, 13, 2/7 GHz mast-mounted single enclosure

with built-in RF coaxial relay for omni-directional antenna selection.

Broadband Cellular ODU: Lightweight mast or roof-mounted cellular ODU

equipped with multiple bonded cellular modems and integral high-gain

broadband cellular antennas.

ENG Encoding: MPEG-2, H.264 HD/SD, 4:2:2/4:2:0

NewStream User Guide and Technical Manual

System Description

The NewStream compact video transmitter system provides reliable and ﬂexible

microwave modulation, Cellular/Wi-Fi and MPEG2,/H.264 encoding functions. The

NewStream system includes an Indoor Unit [IDU] consisting of the 19-inch wide, 2-rack

unit [2RU] high, rack-mounted transmitter, as shown in Figure 3, and a mast-mounted

Microwave Outdoor Unit [ODU] or RF Unit [RFU]. The ODU is also known as an RF

head and/or Cellular Outdoor Unit [C-ODU] on-roof mounted units.

The NewStream IDU is typically mounted in a standard 19-inch [48.3 cm] rack for

mobile installations and the ODU is mounted on an antenna mast. The IDU contains the

baseband circuitry, power supply and control modules. It accepts a wide variety of audio

and video inputs, both analog and digital and generates a 70 MHz IF for legacy heads

and 950 MHz IF for NewStream heads.

The IDU can be locally controlled from its front panel or remotely from a PC, tablet or

smartphone over an IP connection using the NewStream’s Web browser graphical user

interface [GUI].

The IDU directs overall system control such as video encoding, modulation and power

distribution. The NewStream transmitter supports Cellular video streaming, MPEG2 HD

and SD encoding, H.264 HD/SD encoding, AES/EBU and Analog audio, ASI input and

output, as well as various modulations and rates.

Figure 3: NewStream Indoor Unit

The NewStream transmitter system [ENG] supports both single and dual band

operation. The IDU can interact with legacy MTX ODUs or new improved performance

NewStream ODUs which can be single or dual band in the same ODU housing.

NewStream is a video transmission system with digital modulation capabilities which

provides a sophisticated user interface with an adjustable color LCD display panel

with touch screen control. An analogous Web interface enables remote control of the

system.
