Vislink Drone Video Distribution Network

Part of the Vislink Airborne Video Downlink System

The Vislink Drone Video Distribution Network is an integral component of the Airborne Video Downlink Systems (AVDS). The system is driven by the MVP Drone Cellular Backhaul Kit featuring the MVP BaseLink encoder. Video is distributed to critical decision makers via on-premise or cloud-based servers using the Vislink LinkMatrix platform.

The MVP BaseLink is used by security, law enforcement and rescue organizations for their mobile requirements to securely live stream from a remote location over multiple bonded cellular networks. The BaseLink 5G delivers great value for money by providing 5G cellular bonding connectivity. By utilizing the ever-growing number of public 5G networks, users can benefit from greater data rates per modem, reducing the number of SIMs required.

The AVDS LinkMatrix is a cloud-based management and video distribution for controlling encoders, selecting, and managing decoding destinations. The AVDS LinkMatrix also may host the AeroLink Aircraft Video and Data Downlink Systems to enable superior situational awareness. Knowing that security is critical, Vislink has engineered the AeroLink to feature the latest in AES encryption and FIPS 140-2 compliance.

Key applications for the Vislink Drone Video Distribution Network include:

  • Law Enforcement
  • Fire Fighting
  • Disaster Relief
  • Event Coverage
  • Ship-to-Shore
  • ISR (Military and LE)
  • First Responders
  • Command Vehicles
  • National Security

Airborne video surveillance plays a pivotal role in law enforcement, public safety, homeland security, and defense operations. Vislink’s airborne video downlink systems meet the challenge for top quality live video in air to ground applications under the most difficult urban, suburban, or rural environments. The AeroLink Transmission System is the next generation component of the Vislink Airborne Video Down Link System (AVDS). It features an agile IP based workflow that includes centralized management and distribution via the Quantum Receiver. The AeroLink Transmission System is a full featured 4K or 2 x 1080p 60 HEVC digital encoding video downlink solution built to address the unique requirements of aircraft downlink operations. The gains from the HEVC technology enables superior quality video with reduced bandwidth enabling larger geographical coverage. AeroLink features IP input, wayside user data and KLV telemetry information.  The video in may be HDR/UHD HD SD SDI, ASI or composite or via Transport Stream (IP). Key security features such as AES encryption and FIPS 140-2 are included with the AeroLink and are compliant with all aircraft regulations.

Live Stream Professional H.264/H.265 Encoder

The mid-range WMT Baselink encoder from Mobile Viewpoint is in use by many global broadcasters and public agencies for their critical live streaming needs. For the broadcaster and TV production company it is a valuable addition to their outside broadcast and remote production needs such as live sports, news gatherings, festivals and religious services.
The Baselink is also in use by many security, law enforcement and rescue organizations for their mobile surveillance requirements to securely live stream from a remote location over multiple “bonded” cellular networks.
By bonding together multiple cellular networks for reliability with an additional error correction layer for increased quality, the Baselink provides a highly reliable mobile ruggedized unit that can deliver seamless quality HD video streams at a modest cost, with a minimal end-to-end latency of 0.8 seconds from remote camera to playout at the receiving location.  

The Vislink Quantum wireless camera receiver provides high reliability reception from wireless camera transmitters and takes live video production into new and more efficient workflows by putting IP connectivity at its heart.
