MediaBlade™240

Media Server Subsystem

The MediaBlade™ media server subsystem from Artesyn is the only complete, highly

modular and scalable Voice-over-Packet media server blade. With the MediaBlade sys-

tem, you get incredible flexibility in your application. Best of all, it’s ready now – with

no long and expensive development cycle:

■IP-based control interface and media interface

■Scalable port capacity – from 240 (one MediaBlade) to several thou-

sand in a single system or across a network

■CompactPCI Packet Switched Backplane (cPSB) PICMG 2.16 support

■High-level distributed CORBA API abstracts the details of the lower-

level libraries and allows faster application development

■Modular design adaptable to a variety of system environments

■True N-way audio mixing/conferencing

■G.711, G.723.1, G729a and G.726 CODEC support assignable on a per

port basis

■Asymmetric input and output CODEC assignment (e.g., G.711 in,

G.723.1 out)

■Optimized RTP/RTCP packet handling

■Application OS independent

■Conferencing application reference code
