PerioCast’s StoreCaster/HD and StoreCaster/HD-Multi Channel are MPEG-2 based servers with a frequency agile VHF 8VSB (ATSC) RF modulator.  (RF modulators combine a video signal with an RF -- radio frequency – source, so the video can be transmitted to a television or VCR).  The StoreCaster HD servers receive live video input and send it to multiple HD monitors simultaneously.

The StoreCaster/HD-Multi Channel can transmit up to four different programmed channels at the same time.  For example, a hotel can play one video at the entrance, another inside the lobby, another on multiple monitors in the bar, and a fourth program in the restaurants.  Additional servers can be used to deliver even more channels.

PerioCast’s digital signage servers accept DVB-ASI or 8VSB (ATSC) input.  DVB-ASI is a physical interconnect standard that carries MPEG-2 transport streams between broadcasting devices, such as a private cable feed to retail stores.  8VSB is the RF modulation format used for SMPTE 310M, the standard video format designated by the ATSC organization.
