IP in the Studios, Campuses and Beyond

When it comes to IP in the facilities, and you need a trusted advisor to help you separate hype from reality.

Open IP standards: including IGMP, Openflow, NETCONF, SMPTE 2022-6/7, SMPTE 2210, with no proprietary lock-in
Software upgradable to future standards
Baseband compatible: connects baseband network and equipment seamlessly to the IP network (SDI to/from IP)
Easy management: ensures that the migration to IP is transparent to those who need to manage the network
Familiar network control: compatible with existing control panels
Software Defined Network (SDN) for added control.
High-reliability and protection
Secure, with management layer controlling access to signals
Nevion and 3rd party IP routers supported
Supports clean-switching on the de-adaption layer.
Familiar, proven and scalable architecture: supports both the centralized (e.g. star) and distributed network approaches (e.g. spine-leaf).
Simple hand-over to other IP networks: any router in the network can forward the packets to any other connected network, even if the latter is not SDN based.
Extensible to remote locations: other locations are effectively extensions of the central studio/campus.
Services: before, during and after the implementation, including design and architecting, to ensure you get the right solution, first time!

Reduced risk through proven technolgy and expert support
Cost-effective, incremental transition, through co-existence between baseband and IP
Reduced upfront and on-going CAPEX investment, as the architecture is scalable and based on adding rather than replacing
Benefit from vendor choice and lower “IT” price-points for network equipment, thanks to compliance to standards
Greater flexibility in production by making contribution networks seemless extensions of studios and enablign virtualization
