Technology : Core Functions : Services : Minimum Hardware Requirements

For Satellite, Terrestrial and Hybrid Networks: With Castify's Uplink software, content managers can transmit and distribute their live and on-demand content via multicast transmission over any IP network, including satellite, terrestrial and hybrid networks.

Optimal Use of Network Infrastructure: With Uplink software's flexible deployment of full multicasting, you get:

  • Easy access to all regions
  • Drastically reduced bandwidth costs
  • Time savings
  • Highly reliable transmissions



Castify's Reliable Multicast: Castify's Reliable Multicast provides highly reliable multicast transmissions:

  • To receivers with and without feedback channels
  • With seamless integration of Conditional Access encryption
  • With optimal packet redundancy, ensuring only missing packets are retransmitted until the transmission is complete

Enhanced Burst Loss Resilience: Castify's enhanced Burst Loss Resilience ensures that any file, regardless of size, can be transmitted to satellite receivers at the highest possible reliability offered by existing bandwidth and time limitations.

Customizable, Enhanced Forward Error Control (FEC): With Castify's version of Forward Error Control (FEC), highly reliable satellite transmission settings automatically account for content settings, schedule times and broadband availability. As well, content managers have access to simple tools to customize each content's transmission reliability settings, ensuring that transmission of highly critical contents are not interrupted by challenging broadcast conditions.

Multiple Concurrent Broadcasts: Transparent admission controls enable sharing of broadcast channels by multiple concurrent transmissions, optimizing the use of all available satellite bandwidth. Each channel is dedicated to a single account, ensuring highest security transmissions to all receivers.

Highly Secure Transmissions: All content transmissions with Castify's Transmission Centre and Uplink software take place in the highest security setting:

  • Sender Authentication and full Public Key Encryption ensures that only authenticated receivers can receive transmissions, and only authenticated senders can broadcast transmissions.
  • Session and Receiver Keys eliminate multiple transmissions of large secret key headers, conserving bandwidth and increasing transmission security.

  • Any PC-compliant computer using a server OS
  • Intel® Pentium® 4 2GHz or comparable
  • 512 MB RAM or more
  • Two 100Mbps network interface card (NIC)
  • 18 GB storage capacity
