Easy Setup – Easy Management
Connect each encoder to an AV source (e.g. computer, content player) and connect it to a managed 10-GbE network switch. Connect a decoder to each screen you want to display the content on and connect it to the same switch. Manage your MCX system through the user-friendly MCX Gen2 Network Manager that helps you to configure your system and even build and manage a video wall.
Uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 Video
MCX delivers the video quality high-end AV applications require to display eye-catching content: It extends uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 video to an unlimited number of displays without sacrificing latency, video quality or bandwidth. Even better, it supports up to 10-bit HDR using Software-Defined Video over Ethernet (SDVoE) – the latest software-based AV-over-IP platform for extension and control of AV systems on Ethernet or fiber networks.
Create Ergonomic Workflows for Operators
This video extension system is easy to install and use on a modern network. The units’ front-panel configuration buttons and On-Screen Display (OSD) streamline daily workflows.
Choose Copper or Fiber Versions to Suit Your Application
The encoders/decoders are designed for high-quality, IP routable, AV extension with minimum latency. Fiber and copper versions are available to accommodate for your preferred network infrastructure.
Zero Latency
This robust video distribution system's data transfer delay is virtually undistinguishable; the glass-to-glass encoding and decoding happens in real-time (0.03 milliseconds). This means you never deal with annoying lag or video delay.
HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort Encoding and Decoding
You can connect every essential device to your MCX Gen2 through its variety of ports. Multiple control and data signals may also be transmitted along with the audio and video, including IR and RS-232.
3-Port USB with USB-C Connectivity
The integrated USB hub of each decoder (receiver) can be configured to be in ‘USB Host’ or ‘Device Mode’ and can function as a simple point to point AV/KVM extension, freely routed between any two endpoints, or it can be configured into a special “Simultaneous” mode, allowing up to 7 ‘Host Mode’ units to extend their USB ports to a single ‘Device Mode’ unit. This type of USB AV/KVM routing flexibility enables a wide range of multi-user, control room, or on-demand installation scenarios.
Additional Video Out
The system can show the input source on a separate monitor. For example, in a live event, the user can view the source and sample that video on a loop, then pass it down to the network to compare latency.
Works with MCX Gen2 Controller
Combined with the optional MCX Gen2 Controller or control software, the functionality of the encoders/decoders expands exponentially. Multiple encoders/decoders may be combined with one or more 10-Gigabit fiber Ethernet switches and the units can be used together to form a distributed video matrix, a multi-viewer system, or a video wall system adding to their flexibility in large event installations.

GLIM
Supporting television production and media distribution while teams work remotely brings with it many challenges. A primary challenge with remote work is the ability to see, hear, and understand the technical properties of your media library from afar. At Telestream, we call this media file opaqueness. GLIM was built to solve well known remote work challenges: be a vastly superior experience to the ‘remote desktop/virtual desktop’ playback experience, and to prevent remote employees wasting hours every day downloading mezzanine grade media files. Solving these two challenges significantly reduces the aforementioned media file opaqueness, and ultimately increases productivity. GLIM is a groundbreaking technology that allows users to remotely play mezzanine/professional-grade media files in a web browser. The GLIM engine is built upon our Switch playback and inspection technology and will allow for remote playback of any container/ codec/resolution/fps/audio channel/color space combination in a web browser (Windows or Mac OS and Google Chrome v80+).

Central Power Hub
The power output ports are lockable, preventing accidental disconnects. Each output is limited to 30 Watts at 12V.
Hot-swappable power modules convert the AC supply to DC voltage. Where redundancy is required, the Power Hub will equally balance a normal load between them. If one module stops operating, the Hub automatically transfers the full load to the remaining module.
Power integrity, safety, and management are at the heart of the Central Power Hub system. At startup, the CPH automatically checks the validity of the power modules. It then enables each power output in sequence so they are do not overload the modules by starting simultaneously. As the system provides steady power to your installation, protections are in place to ensure against excess demand by anyone connected device.
Control and monitor the Central Power Hub by an intuitive web interface. View temperature, fan speeds, and current measurements. Control each output individually.
NOTE: Compatible spare power supply - ACR1000-CPH-PS-R2.

RemoteAccess-CPU
Guntermann & Drunck GmbH (G&D), leading manufacturer of KVM systems for broadcast applications, presents its newest KVM product – the RemoteAccess-CPU. The device lets operators seamlessly integrate virtual machines into KVM installations to create hybrid infrastructures. Cloud computing and virtualisation are becoming increasingly important in broadcasting. The physical hardware available on site can be optimally supplemented by virtual machines and computers, which can be remotely accessed via network protocols.
Creating hybrid infrastructures using G&D’s RemoteAccess-CPUThe new modules establish a connection between matrix systems and computers or virtual machines, which can be remotely accessed via network protocols (RDP, VNC, and SSH). This way, hybrid systems with real and virtual computer infrastructure can be optimally implemented. The RemoteAccess-CPU supports video resolutions up to 2560 × 1600 @ 60 Hz (or 3840 × 2160 @ 30 Hz) as well as USB HID and embedded audio. After appropriate configuration, users can access any number of virtual sources and computers accessible via network protocols directly via KVM matrix system – uniformly and exactly as producers would access computers under their desk. Via G&D's KVM system, multiple operators can use the same RemoteAccess-CPU to simultaneously connect to and operate the same virtual machine.
The bridge between cloud computing and KVM With the RemoteAccess-CPU, users get a maximum comfortable solution with a high level of user friendliness. Producers can simply select the desired source from a standardised select menu (target list) on the on-screen display – regardless of whether the computer is available in the server room, via network protocol or in the cloud. G&D’s KVM matrix controls the logic and takes over user administration. All connection data is forwarded encrypted.
Thanks to its integrated thin client functionality, the RemoteAccess-CPU offers a platform with integrated thin client functionality, the solution is highly integrative when it comes to establishing connections. Currently, the network protocols RDP, VNC and SSH are supported. Support of further protocols will follow soon.

R&S®PRISMON.cloud
Rohde & Schwarz launches its new Monitoring-as-a-Service (MaaS) solution R&S PRISMON.cloud in Europe
At IBC 2019, Rohde & Schwarz rolls out its cloud-based OTT monitoring solution PRISMON.cloud in Europe, making it now available in the US, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, the UK and Italy. New features first presented at this year’s show in Amsterdam corroborate Rohde & Schwarz´s aspiration in offering the ideal monitoring tool for broadcasters, content and streaming platform providers. R&S PRISMON.cloud can be deployed quickly and without dedicated hardware. A flexible and scalable pricing model allows users to reduce investment costs (CAPEX), therefore, provides a tailored monitoring solution also for event driven usage peaks.
R&S PRISMON.cloud was designed to enable OTT providers to permanently understand the current Quality-of-Service (QoS) but also to quickly and easily adapt their monitoring infrastructure, for example when peak loads during the transmission of large events require extended service.
A live multiview function, automated analysis of A/V data and error assignment in real time placed in an intuitive analysis dashboard make it possible to permanently measure QoS parameters, store it in a cloud environment and visualize it in a timeline format.
Thanks to the easy-to-use setup wizard, it only takes minutes to add new virtual IoT sensors around the globe and connect them to the dashboard. The cloud solution has been extended with an API interface to integrate current data into network management systems and now provides configurable incident notifications.
In combination with the widely used on-premise monitoring solution R&S PRISMON, OTT data from both physical and virtual sensors can be displayed in a single dashboard. As a new feature, SMPTE 2110 data from R&S PRISMONs can now also be viewed in the PRISMON.cloud dashboard.
The resulting end-to-end transparency quickly and easily reveals errors such as deterioration of video or audio quality or poor CDN performance as a cause of churn. PRISMON.cloud sensors are available in two service packages: silver and gold. These packages can be ordered in the Rohde & Schwarz App Store as three-month and twelve-month subscriptions. There is also a free trial that enables customers to try out R&S PRISMON.cloud with no obligation. For more information about the service packages, visit www.prismon.cloud.
