Mi-16-UHD
The addition of UHD outputs to Apantac’s Multiviewers means that facilities now have a cost-effective UHD visual monitoring solution that is much sharper, clearer and more detailed than before.
In comparison to an HD Multiviewer & Display, Apantac’s Multiviewers with UHD outputs mean that the source window PIPs (picture in picture) can be displayed with twice the horizontal number of pixels and twice the number of lines on a UHD panel.
Since UHD monitors are rapidly becoming less expensive, media facilities can use off-the-shelf UHD displays coupled with Apantac’s cost-effective Multiviewers for an inexpensive multi-image display processing solution for many content applications.

MCX AV over IP Distribution and Control
MCX is a next-generation 4K60 AV-over-IP distribution solution that enables latency-free extension and matrix switching of video, audio, RS-232, and USB 2.0 signals. MCX features built-in video wall management and is TAA-compliant.
MCX allows AV and data payloads to exist on the same IT network and reduces network management time and costs.
The encoders/decoders are ideal for point-to-point secure video conferencing, multi-monitor broadcasts, distributed video matrix or video wall systems, and remote KVM system control.
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.

Aperi IP Multiviewer
Multiviewer receives IP video input from three sources: on the leftmost “SFP 1” 10 GbE front panel port, and on the two 10 GbE back plane Ethernet ports. The two 10 GbE backplane Ethernet ports support up to six SMPTE 2022-6 (uncompressed) feeds per port (12 total). The front input supports up to six SMPTE 2022-6 (uncompressed) feeds via the Aperi Uncompressed over IP App.
Multiviewer output is split into a 16 tile HD-SDI for display, forming a 4x4 mosaic which is outputted via HD-SDI on the rightmost front panel “SFP 4” port. Each tile can be labeled to show its multicast address, as well as incorporating dynamically definable and static text.
Each input includes an analyzer, which detects for frozen picture, blank screen, or audio loss from any particular source. If an error is detected, the UI will indicate an issue with that particular tile via the alarm system. This alarm system is available via a common interface, and is exposed in the Multiviewer API.
Technical Information
- Supports up to six SMPTE 2022-6 IP video inputs from the 10 GbE SFP 1 port on an Aperi Microserver.
- Supports up to six SMPTE 2022-6 IP video inputs from each of the 10 GbE backplane Ethernet ports (6 + 6) on the Aperi A1105 Chassis.

Stream MultiScreen
A multiviewer/quality monitoring solution with penalty screen, screen of states, carousel feature and “blind” monitoring for SD/HD-SDI and IP signals
Stream MultiScreen is a software quality monitoring solution. The software can generate a mosaic screen, a screen of states, a penalty screen and non-visual (“blind”) instrumental monitoring capability for analog, SD/HD-SDI and IP sources in any combination. The solution is intended for visual and/or automated quality control and monitoring in Network Operation Centers (NOC), broadcast facilities, Head-ends, content aggregators, TV broadcasters etc... Stream MultiScreen is fully compliant with DVB/MPEG TS ISO 13818-1 streams.
The solution is equipped with a carousel (also called a rotator) feature for monitoring a large set of channels by groups in a round robin manner that can decrease the number of required physical output monitors.
The number of inputs varies and is effectively unlimited. Stream MultiScreen supports feeds from BDA/DirectShow receivers to monitor satellite, cable and terrestrial TV signals. Stream Labs ingest cards may be used to monitor baseband signals coming via SD/HD-SDI, T2-MI and analog interfaces. IP sources are supported including HLS, RTSP, RTMP, MPEG-DASH.
The output mosaic screen can be streamed to a remote PC via HLS. Output is available as HDMI, DVI or DisplayPort. Up to 6 outputs are supported per a server.
The solution supports monitoring and alarming of ETSI TR 101 290 (ETR 290) critical states and QoE degradation such as black screen, still picture, no sound, R.128 parameters etc... Stream MultiScreen can detect user-defined patterns in incoming signals, i.e. “No signal” messages from an IRD/STB.
The solution utilizes Nvidia GPU's and Intel decoding/filtering capabilities, but built-in software decoding is also possible for small and more cost effective installations reducing hardware requirements.
The layout and design of the mosaic screen, penalty screen and screen of states is customizable through the included MultiScreen Designer/Monitor software package.
Stream Labs offers download demo versions, presentations and training videos through their website.
