The WA-5-IT is a unit that converts TS over IP into TS.
It features a fanless design, and SPI output is also supported as an option.
IP Transmission Solution
By combining the WA-5-TI, which converts TS into TS over IP, with the WA-5-IT, which converts TS over IP back into TS, you can implement IP-based transmission of TS signals.
For Networks with Unstable Bandwidth
By placing a buffer PC (HDD-less) after the WA-5-TI and before the WA-5-IT, it is possible to buffer the stream and maintain stable transmission even on networks with unstable bandwidth

Specifications
| Product Type | TS over IP → MPEG-2 TS Conversion Unit | |
|---|---|---|
| Product Name | TS CaPID WA-5-IT | |
| Model Number | WA5-A010S000HR | |
| Input / Output | TSoIP Input | RJ45 (100BASE-TX) ×1 (TSoIP port) Receives the IP-converted TS data over LAN |
| TS Output | DVB-ASI ×1 (ASI OUT connector) DVB-SPI ×1 (SPI OUT connector) — option (※1) | |
| Control | Configuration LAN port: RJ45 (100BASE-T) ×1 (CTRL port) Configuration COM port: RS-232C ×1 (front panel) (※2) | |
| Reception Method | Receives TS data transmitted over LAN from a WA-5-TI and converts it back into TS data for output Supports multicast reception, allowing one-to-many transmission (IGMPv3) | |
| NULL Packet Restoration | Restores the NULL packets compressed by the WA-5-TI to reproduce the original TS | |
| Packet Loss Countermeasure | Detected IP packet loss is recovered by ARQ (retransmission request) using a proprietary protocol. If ARQ processing cannot recover the loss in time, a dummy TS packet with the transport error indicator set is output. | |
| Transferable TS Bit Rate | 204-byte TS packets: 7 TS packets per IP packet → up to 33 Mbps, 6 → up to 28 Mbps, 5 → up to 23 Mbps, 4 → up to 20 Mbps 188-byte TS packets: 7 TS packets per IP packet → up to 30 Mbps, 6 → up to 25 Mbps, 5 → up to 21 Mbps, 4 → up to 18 Mbps These are upper limits. The TS bit rate that can be input varies with the configuration. | |
| Front Display (STATUS) | Shows the IP packet transfer bit rate. With a decimal point (dot) the unit is Mbps (e.g. 32.5 = 32.5 Mbps); without one it is Kbps (e.g. 325 = 325 Kbps) ・Normal: the dot at the lower right of the display blinks ・While dummy TS packets are output due to packet loss, or on reset: the bit rate reading blinks ・On disconnection: the bit rate reading disappears and the lower-right dot stops blinking | |

(※1) The WA-5-IT has no ASI IN connector. The rear panel carries the same silkscreen as the WA-5-TI, but on the WA-5-IT the connector used is ASI OUT. The SPI connector (SPI OUT) is an option.
(※2) With the serial communication option (license), the front COM port can carry RS-232C serial communication over the LAN in both directions. The connection to the WA-5-TI uses TCP/IP. Without the option, the COM port is used to configure the WA-5-IT.
