Hence, our team in Brazil are actively engaging with broadcasters to extend our expertise and help them unleash the full benefits of IP connectivity.
RPC, Globo affiliate in Paraná experienced a breakthrough this week when Caton proved that its technology can guarantee the transport of BTS packets in high bitrates – up to 204 bytes with ultra-low latency and recovery of up to 50% packet loss. This proven technology comprises of the Caton Xchange, an IP conversion and transmission appliance with built-in transport stream analysis, and the Caton Transport Protocols (CTP), a set of IP transmission technologies that assures stability, quality and security for video and data transmissions.

Ivan Miranda, director of engineering at RPC analyzed the use of this technology. “Caton showed us that their CatonNet Video Platform provides a stable service with ultra-low latency. In addition, we were able to see that high quality video can be streamed over Caton’s IP network. With this, we will be able to provide an even better viewing experience for our audience,” highlights Miranda.
