CUTTING EDGE BROADCASTING SOLUTIONS
Discover the Future of Broadcasting with our Advanced Software Defined and IP-based Solutions
Software Defined Production (SDP) is all about doing more with fewer boxes; moving away from single-function devices that mostly sit idle, and towards a pool of flexible resources that will meet your production needs on-demand. This pool requires a correspondingly agile network, which supports the non-blocking availability, reliability, and orchestration requirements of your Smart Production goals.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) must deliver on the promise of agility, scalability and flexibility, but not at any cost. After listening to your unique requirements, we may guide you towards solutions built on SDI routers, or IP networks, or a hybrid combination of both. Regardless of the transport technology selected, Our “One Network” vision delivers solutions to address both the edges and the core of your live production network.
At the edge, our solutions adapt your hardware to flexibly meet your signal conversion needs
NEWT: A COMPACT UHD-OVER-IP SDI / HDMI CONVERTER
A window into your IP media network.
Newt adapts to our rapidly changing IP environments, bridging Quad-SDI and HDMI 2.0 interfaces to JT-NM tested ST2110 media streams. Newt is fluent in NMOS, EmBER+, and DashBoard open standards protocols giving you the freedom to use it in the IP environment of your choice.
POWERFUL CONVERSION
Newt provides performance and reliability in a compact form factor. Convert and process SDI and IP signals from HD to UHD. Embed ST 2110-40 ANC streams into your SDI outputs. QUAD-SPLIT enables simultaneous viewing of four independent videos on a single HDMI 2.0 output and gearboxing lets you monitor SQD and 2SI UHD streams.
OPEN CONTROL
Standards compliance gives you the freedom to run Newt from our popular DashBoard™ control system, Ultricore BCS or any preferred 3rd-party control system using industry standard protocols such as Ember+ and NMOS. Newt was designed with open control connectivity in mind.
NETWORK CLARITY
Managing IP networks can be complex. Newt adds simplicity and clarity using built-in diagnostics, network intelligence and adaptive synchronization. Newt provides PTP history and bandwidth measurements to help resolve network configuration issues.
FITS ANYWHERE
Space comes at a premium. A small form factor combined with flexible mounting options enables Newt to scale a wall, zip-tie to a post, hide under a desk or sit behind a display. Optionally, some may prefer the combination of three Newts lined up on a rack shelf.
FLEXIBLE AUDIO & VIDEO MAPPING
Standards compliance gives you the freedom to run Newt from our popular DashBoard™ control system, Ultricore BCS or any preferred 3rd-party control system using industry standard protocols such as Ember+ and NMOS. Newt was designed with open control connectivity in mind.
