About this file
This is a system overview drawing for Idaho Public Television's transmission encoder system, prepared by the engineering department for the Master Control & Network Operations Center (NOC) located at 1455 N. Orchard Street, Boise, Idaho. The document illustrates a comprehensive broadcast infrastructure designed to support multiple television stations (KAID, KCDT, KIPT, and KISU) across five markets, handling both HD and SD content channels including IDPTVHD, PLUS, CREATE, WORLD, and KIDS programming feeds. The system architecture incorporates primary and redundant encoding hardware and software solutions with multiple input sources, a Utah Scientific 400 Series SC-4 SDI video router, IP multicast outputs with forward error correction (FEC), and EAS (Emergency Alert System) integration capabilities. The drawing was created on November 19, 2025, and printed on May 7, 2026, representing the functional design for broadcast transmission operations.
The system configuration utilizes vendor-provided hardware and software solutions with redundant components to ensure reliability and continuous operations. Network connectivity is managed through existing switches on the State Network and KAID STL infrastructure, with outputs distributed across multiple VLANs (101, 98, 92, and 99) at varying bitrates: primary multicast outputs at 19.392658 Mbps with UniTue EAS alerts for individual stations and a combined 85 Mbps stream for all five markets. The system integrates PSIP guide data from Myers Protrack via primary and secondary feeds, WARN data streaming, and SNMP monitoring through an existing Windows Server 2022 infrastructure. The drawing explicitly requires physical hardware chassis redundancy throughout the system architecture to support Idaho Public Television's critical broadcast operations across multiple markets and program streams.
