XIP-3901
The XIP-3901 agile processing platform with a rear XIP-3901-3+DRP comes with all the 12G/quad link 3G/3G/HD-SDI connectivity to support two 4K UHD processing paths with dual 25 GbE SFP cages for future IP I/O migration. The XIP-3901 is installed in the established Densité modular frame. Due to advanced processing capabilities and power requirements, the XIP-3901 is supported by the Densité 3+ FR1 and FR4 frames. The initial applications for the XIP-3901 agile IP/SDI processing platform provides full functionality of up/down/framesync-gearbox processing capability delivered through three applications that allow your live productions — either from trucks, venues or stadiums — to make the most of the new 4K UHD and HDR formats. This includes playout channels where output of a 4K UHD HDR channel needs to be downconverted for an HD SDR simulcast version.
Densité 3+ XIP-3901-UC is an application that provides a dual-channel 12G/quad link 3G/3G/HD-SDI upconverter, which is designed to synchronize, upconvert and process HD and 3G 1080p signals for both 1080p and 4K UHD 2160p broadcast production. The XIP-3901-UC application features broadcast-quality scalers, motion-adaptive de-interlacers and color space conversions from ITU-R BT.709 to ITU-R BT.2020. Densité 3+ XIP-3901-DC* is an application that provide a dual-channel 12G/quad link 3G/3G/HD downconverter, which is designed to synchronize, downconvert and process 4K UHD 2160p and 1080p for both 1080p and HD broadcast production. The XIP-3901-DC application features broadcast-quality down-scalers, interlacers and color space conversions from ITU-R BT.2020 to ITU-R BT.709. Densité 3+ XIP-3901-FS* is an application that provide a dual-channel 12G/quad link 3G/3G/HD frame synchronizer with gearbox functionality, which is designed to synchronize and convert color space between ITU-R BT.2020 and ITU-R BT.709 in 4K UHD, 1080p and HD broadcast productions. All applications will delay 12G/3G/HD embedded audio and metadata to maintain synchronization with video. The optional HDR processor, XIP-3901-UDCHDR, allows conversion between SDR and HDR formats, supporting HLG (ITU-R BT.2100), PQ (SMPTE ST 2084, ITU-R BT.2100) and S-Log3/S-Gamut3 formats, with conversion between formats.

.Nevion Virtuoso
.Nevion Virtuoso
A key building block of Nevion’s virtualization strategy, Nevion Virtuoso is a software-defined media node platform, designed to perform a variety of real-time media transport, processing, and monitoring in both LANs (e.g. facilities) and WANs (e.g. contribution). Its functionality is upgradable and configurable through software, known as media function virtualization. It is standards based and ready to be deployed rapidly in a modern NMOS and ST 2110 environment, as well as a more traditional SDI setting.
Proven
Nevion Virtuoso is the culmination of over 20 years of Nevion experience in the media and broadcasting industry, and 15 years delivering IP solutions. It is being used in applications as diverse as IP in the facilities, contribution, remote production and DTT, by broadcasters and service providers across the world, including TV2 (Norway), Plazamedia (Germany), Portugal Telecom, ALTICE (Portugal), Synterra Media (Russia), as well as large media organizations in the US and Asia.
Media functions
Nevion Virtuoso is all about the software, or Media Functions.
Since it was first launched at IBC 2016, Nevion Virtuoso has undergone regular software updates, enhancing and increasing its functionality. Nevion Virtuoso’s Media Functions now number over 50, designed to handle all of the challenges associated with IP-based, live production environments in which the distinction between local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs), used in contribution, remote production and distribution) is becoming blurred.
These Media Functions include:
- video & audio processing (embedding/de-embedding; audio routing, shuffling, delay and gain; clean switching)
- transport adaption (SDI / ST 2110 / ST 2022-6)
- protection (ST 2022-7, ST 2022-1/5)
- monitoring and switching (TS and SDI)
- encoding/decoding for SD, HD. 3G, 4K/UHD, HDR, slo-mo, HFR (High frequency rate), stereoscopic 3D and 2K/4K cinema, including JPEG 2000, JPEG XS, H.264, and TICO
- encryption (BISS-1, BISS-2, BISS-CA)
Media servers
Uniquely amongst software-defined media nodes, the Nevion Virtuoso platform has been designed to allow for the provision of Media Servers (appliances) with different characteristics, such as size, number of Media Accelerators they can accommodate and level of modularity, in order to suit virtually any requirement.
Management
Centrally managing Nevion Virtuosos in the field could not be simpler – thanks to Nevion VideoIPath orchestration and SDN management software. Nevion VideoIPath can be used to set-up Media Functions on the Nevion Virtuosos (in a plan and organized way), route signals to and from Media Functions on any Nevion Virtuoso in the media network, and the appliances in the network.
Virtuoso also supports NMOS IS-04 and IS-05.
Backed by expertise
Behind Virtuoso is a whole organization, with experts in all the relevant fields (broadcasting, telecoms, baseband, IP and more), ready to help plan and deliver projects, as well as provide the required training and any support needed.
Aperi A1105 1RU Ethernet Switch/Compute Platform
Aperi A1105 1RU Ethernet Switch/Compute Platform
The consolidation of Ethernet switching fabric and microserver compute elements enables the lowest rack density and power efficiency possible while ensuring optimal reliability for service aggregation in an architecture that scales perfectly for data center and network access low-latency service applications. Depending on applications the microserver hardware acceleration can achieve multiples of compute over traditional x86 processing at a fraction of the consumed power resulting in tens of rack units of servers, associated cabling and switching collapsing into a 1RU A1105. The 10/40GbE switch executes all standard and high performance L2/L3 protocols through the Broadcom Fastpath networking software. The A1105 is Open Flow capable. Integrated network clock synchronization is achieved using PTPv2 or externally fed sync. The A1105 10 Gigabit Ethernet Switch offers 6 ports of 10/100/1000BASE-T with 8 ports of wire-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet via SFP+ cages and 2 ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet via QSFP cages. Exceptional reliability and serviceability are ensured with dual redundant hot-swappable AC or DC power supplies and hot-swappable redundant fans featuring front to back airflow.

V__matrix vm_udx 4K/HDR Format Converter
The vm_udx app provides a format conversion engine capable of processing four SD, HD, 3G or one UHD path for IP and/or SDI signals. Each path provides audio embedding/de-embedding/shuffling functionality. Audio gain, delay and sample rate conversion can be accessed through independent processing blocks, which can be inserted at any point of the processing chain. Eight instances of broadcast quality RGB and YUV color correction and video proc are also available as processing blocks for use by any video source, whether SDI or IP, and available both pre- and post-format conversion.
For even more functionality, add the +HDR option to enable four instances of SDRHDR color space conversion using 3D lookup tables. A large selection of LUTs especially developed for live production are included, and custom LUTs can also be uploaded too. The included LUTs allow for conversion between SDR and HDR in HLG and PQ.
