greenMachine HDR Evie+
The greenMachine HDR Evie+ (Enhanced Video Image Engine), 1 RU half 19” rackmount, is a real-time segmented frame-by-frame broadcast-quality High Dynamic Range (HDR) to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) converter, with frame sync supporting formats up to 4K UHD (3840x2160). It is the world’s first system that uses the advanced algorithm for sectional dynamic tone mapping, which automatically analyzes different sections of an image in HDR stream and applies optimal corrections on a frame by frame basis in real-time. This unique capability is unlike any other solution today. It is the perfect real-time production tool for sports or any live broadcast event needing high-quality real-time HDR to SDR conversions. HDR EVIE+ fits best in the single native HDR workflow reducing the cost of equipment and manual operations.
The sectional dynamic tone mapping technique is applied to several spatial areas (sectors) in the image. In this type of tone mapping technique, the algorithm adjusts the signal by using several dynamic curves, one per image segment/sector. The algorithm then combines the result with global dynamic curves based on the entire image. While the dynamic curves of the different sectors are perfectly adapted to the respective image content of their segments, the global curve is perfectly adapted to the content of the entire image. Depending on the image content within these sectors, the algorithm reacts dynamically, which allows lights and shadows to be treated independently. Therefore, dark areas can be brightened, and the bright areas can be darkened without getting a flat gradation of the image. “
HDR EVIE+ provides a 1x 4K/UHD processing channel supporting down-conversion from HDR transfer characteristics to SDR through appropriate sectional dynamic tone mapping. It also supports the Wide Color Gamut (WCG) needs of broadcasters and professional AV live events requirements. HDR Evie+ package also includes HDR Static configuration for Static HDR SDR conversions, which performs static tone mapping to realize UP/Down/Cross conversions between HDR and SDR, suited best for the studios or the environments where the light conditions do not change dynamically.

In large MediorNet networks, MicroN can serve as a breakout box for a Riedel MetroN core fiber router. Working seamlessly with the MediorNet MetroN, MicroN can extend connectivity beyond the fiber I/Os to any type of video and audio I/O required.
Operating in standalone mode, the MicroN can act as a 12x12 router and audio embedder/de-embedder with MADI SRC and delay, and it also provides video frame sync and delay. In a point-to-point deployment, multiple paired MicroN units can provide all of these capabilities plus support for up to 12 bidirectional SDI I/Os, two MADI I/Os, and a Gigabit Ethernet link.
Multiple MicroNs can be integrated as a central video router for redundant processing of up to 192x192 HD-SDI signals, or they can be deployed in a distributed fashion as a decentralized video router. By interconnecting MicroN nodes in a meshed fashion, broadcasters realize a very scalable video routing network that can be used as a replacement for small to medium sized routers. With an inherently flexible system design, this solution allows users to extend both signal capacity and distributed system locations simply by adding MicroN nodes to the network.
Deployed along with MediorNet systems, Riedel’s MicroN gives broadcasters the benefits of a truly integrated solution with built-in routing and processing capabilities. In addition to yielding significant cost savings, solutions built on MediorNet and MicroN allow users to work with all variety of video, from analog and SD to 4K, and audio ranging from analog to AES3/ MADI, or tunneling of any kind of Ethernet traffic. In addition to handling data, comms, and GPIOs, such solutions provide valuable routing capabilities, both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint. Taking on the role of embedders, signal generators, quad splits, and other dedicated devices, MicroN devices also reduce or eliminate the need for external boxes. With all of these features and capabilities, MicroN empowers broadcasters to invest in and establish flexible, future-proof fiber-based signal transport solutions.

emSFP with Frame Synchronization
Embrionix SDI to IP emSFP-Gateways provides multiple practical interfaces to bridge SDI signals into IP. The modules are based on a small form factor (SFP+ / SFP28) that can either be installed inside a standard 10GE or 25GE IP switch or within the Embrionix 25GE emMODULAR aggregation frame, drastically simplifying the gradual integration of IP and SDI equipment.
“Adding a Frame sync block to our already-dense, low-footprint gateways is a result of listening to the challenges our customers face during their transition to IP and integrating their feedback into one single gateway,” said Embrionix president Renaud Lavoie. “These software-designed modules are like a swiss army knife ̶ allowing our customers to repurpose each miniaturized gateway into a processor, up/down/cross converter, multiviewer or encapsulator with frame sync, depending on their changing needs.”
Embrionix provides very compact, high-density IP gateways, signal processors, converters and multiviewers for broadcast video applications. The company’s innovative low-footprint solutions free up premium rack space, consume less power and close the gap between fiber optic, coaxial and emerging IP technology deployments (including SMPTE ST2110, ST2022-6, ST2022-1/2, HDMI, composite video).
The transition to IP becomes much easier with a highly optimized solution for SDI-to-IP conversion provided by Embrionix. This is made possible with the company’s miniaturized emSFP modules equipped with an IP encapsulator and decapsulator. These miniaturized devices can be installed directly inside 10GE, 25GE COTS IP switches and can convert any SDI legacy equipment within your IP network. Embrionix also offers a series of standalone, compact gateways tailored to monitor and format-convert IP signals and 1RU aggregator processing frames capable of moving 4K UHD over a 25GE network.
With headquarters located outside of Montreal Canada, Embrionix has design, research & development, and sales offices located in countries around the world. The company’s solutions are also available through a global network of professional value added resellers.
