ADS (Ancillary Data Service) is a sophisticated tool that has been specifically designed for use in complex IP media infrastructures. It is used for managing ancillary data such as closed captions, SCTE-104 (commercial insertion), and VITC/LTC timecode, which are authored and transported independently using ST 2110-40 across the network.
In ST 2110 broadcast environments, ADS is an essential tool for manipulating ST 2110-40 ancillary data. It can shuffle, delay, and analyze the streams to ensure that the synchronization and quality of the ancillary data is maintained at all times. This is particularly important in live broadcasting, where every second counts.
ADS is a highly reliable resource that can be used in every type of ST 2110 topology, regardless of the size of the network. It is capable of handling even the most complex IP media infrastructures, making it an excellent choice for broadcasters who need to ensure the smooth operation of their broadcasting systems.
