TSBroadcaster Uplink is a version of TSBroadcaster which is designed to be integrated into a cable network's uplink for delivery of bound OCAP and/or ETV-EBIF applications. Its features include:

TSBroadcaster Uplink is essentially a full TSBroadcaster system but without any of the out-of-band features required in the digital cable headend.

Cable Networks and content providers can use TSBroadcaster Uplink to add bound OCAP and ETV applications to their channels prior to transmission to the satellite. Usually this process may occur either:

1. By using the ASI input channel of TSBroadcaster and using the internal multiplexing feature to mux the input channels with the desired number of applications. This process includes adding the object or data carousels created by TSBroadcaster to its' output, or,

2. taking the output of TSBroadcaster containing the OCAP or ETV applications and using an external multiplexer to add these applications to the desired channels. In this case care should be taken to ensure that the external multiplexer being used does not drop relevant signaling descriptors from the PMTs (such as the Application Signaling Descriptor).

TSBroadcaster can connect to one of more TSPlayer systems, each controlling a single transport stream broadcast. For play out of a single multi-service transport stream, TSBroadcaster is usually installed on the TSPlayer system. In instances when TSBroadcaster is required to manage multiple transport stream broadcasts, there are a variety of options available. Resiliency should also be a factor to consider.

TSBroadcaster can be made available with dual ASI outputs for OCAP and ETV play-out from the same system. Gigabit Ethernet output is also available.
