The SDMP-4S or Software Defined Media Platform is a modular microserver designed to run software applications (apps) that require intense computational processing power and very low latency. Although the SDMP has a system architecture that has similarities to conventional servers, it uses state-of-the-art technology that provides the processing capabilities needed in apps such as live television production, financial trading and deep machine learning. Multiple apps can be staged on a microserver simultaneously enabling extensive adaptability for the platform. The microserver is based on the data concept of ‘single unit of deployment’ to run all apps. The apps can be downloaded as containerized bit files from an app store or repository and then run from memory in the low latency recomposable processor (FPGA). Physical access to the SDMP is accommodated via four SFP+/video SFP (small form factor pluggable) cages on the front panel of the microserver and two 10GbE parallel interface card edge connections at the rear. The microserver operates in the Aperi A1105 Ethernet Switch/Compute Platform (see A1105 data sheet). The A1105 platform can house up to five microservers and each microserver interfaces to ports on the Ethernet Switch in the A1105 via the two 10GbE ports on the microserver edge connector. This topology enables the seamless deployment of clusters of Ethernet connected microservers in a truly elastic architecture. The microserver has its own Linux based Aperi operating system. This OS has an associated ‘infrastructure API’ which is independent of the Open APIs that are integrated within each app that runs on the microserver. The microserver API assists with the orchestration and deployment of apps onto a microserver from an app repository.

Any app running on the microserver has as an integrated web server with an automatically discoverable intuitive user interface. The web server is accessed via the management port of the platform in which the microserver running the app is populated. Comprehensive information related to the microserver hardware on which the app is running is also accessible via this UI.

• Chassis - Populatse Aperi A1105 1RU Ethernet Switch/Compute Platform
• Module Form Factor - Industry standard telecommunications form factor defined by PICMG specifications
• Data Plane Processor - Xilinx FPGA with 2.5GBytes of DDR3–1.6GHz (also available with a quad core FPGA)
• Control Plane Processor - Processor with quad core using full Linux operating System
• App Staging on Microserver - Includes 16GBytes of flash memory to enable many different apps and app versions and instantaneously switch between them
• Networking - Dual 10GbE connections via card edge IEEE802.3 (also available in with dual 40GbE connections via card edge)
• Synchronization - Dual reference timing input for GPS, 1PPS or application layer (video) clock. IEEE 1588 capable.
• Application Layer Physical Interface - 4 x small form factor pluggable (SFP/SFP+) cages for any standards compliant modules
• Application Programming Interface - Open RESTFUL API using standard cloud model
• Graphical User Interface - Integrated web server with intuitive UI via HTTPS for all apps including microserver hardware status and authentication and authorization for security
• App Store - Apps can be managed and downloaded from an ‘app
store’ or app repository and run using an Aperi app license
• Applications - The microserver is ideal for low latency and intense computational processing applications including live
production, financial trading and image processing

"Arrow III" is a new, higher level model in the Arrow line. It is a broadcast-class server which is more powerful, quieter, and cheaper! It allows you to take a fresh look at television production.

The compact size of the server and the wide range of available options make it indispensable for live broadcasting of any sporting events and recording for editing of various TV shows.

Arrow III is equipped with 8 bi-directional SDI I/O. In its basic configuration, the server supports the 662 mode: 6 recording + 6 search + 2 playback channels + FX.

The top configuration provides:

• For HD/SD SDI: Up to 7 recording + 7 search + 2 playback channels + FX


• For 3G SDI: 4 recording + 4 search + 2 playback channels + FX.

All the needs and wishes of the customers were taken into account in its development. At ordering, the user can choose the disk array for its system: affordable HDDs or lightweight and reliable SSDs. One of the most important advantages of Arrow III is its optimized cooling system. To reduce the noise level the server was equipped with large low-noise fans installed on the front panel, which provide almost silent operation.

Arrow III is equipped with 3 built-in DMR™ Racks for 3.5" SATA hard drives for export and import of video material, as well as for recording for non-linear editing of native files and codecs with DMR™ technology (DMR™ option). Up to 8 HD channels can be recorded simultaneously, which makes the system a good space saver alternative to big 4U servers.

The high-speed 10GbE interface allows recording the video material on NAS, as well as speeds up the exchange of clips and playlists between slomo.tv servers working in the network.

Arrow III comes with specialized replay console: Control Zx for the HDD-based servers and Control ZR for the SSD-based systems. Control ZR is a latest generation of slomo.tv replay panels equipped with 51 RGB buttons and T-bar with up to 1024 values of the lever position. Connection of the console is via RS232/422, USB and Ethernet.
