RouteMaster Lite

RouteMaster Lite brings familiar video routing capabilities to Newtek’s NDI® video. Based on our proven RouteMaster system, it gives operators a range of familiar control interfaces for controlling video switching.

Switching is suitable for all live, on-air applications, making RouteMaster Lite ideal for fast manual intervention.

No video streams are passed through the router system, instead traffic is redirected at the network level.  This means only minimal bandwidth and processor requirements are needed, regardless of the number of video streams and resolution. There’s also no additional video delay through the system. Additionally, RouteMaster Lite does not become a central point of failure: If the router system fails for any reason, video continues to flow from sources to destinations uninterrupted.

RouteMaster Lite is ideal for OB and production environments, supporting up to 20 sources and 20 destinations. For larger systems with more complex requirements, the same NDI switching technology is available in the full-featured RouteMaster system.

The built-in GUI is ideal for preset and take switching, showing resizeable video previews and audio metering  of the current video and the chosen source.

External Control

While control from the built-in GUI is fast and easy, it’s not ideal for all situations. Therefore RouteMaster lite supports external control from:

  • Web Panels served by the integrated web server
  • Familiar hardware panels like Blackmagic Design Smart Control
  • Or, third-party software which uses the Blackmagic VideoHub protocol

You can use all these control methods simultaneously, with router status immediately visible to all users.

eyePower Power Distribution Units with IP monitoring and control

The 14 way eyePower Mains Distribution Unit (MDU) from Bryant Unlimited offers unrivalled measurement and control of mains power distribution in technical environments. Real time data extends far beyond voltage and current, delivering invaluable safety, reliability and cost management data. eyePower users improve system uptime and can demonstrate their commitment to a safe installation.

MDUs are critical components that affect multiple items of equipment and Bryant Unlimited have manufactured them to the highest standards for over 25 years. Intelligent mains units were introduced by Bryant Unlimited in the 1990s to sequence outlets, optionally change over between two supplies; then later a powerful macro language was added to switch outlets on or off with infinite flexibility of timing and external control.

Extensive research has now delivered the eyePower platform, promising the superior build quality for which Bryant Unlimited are valued, whilst accurately measuring the mains supply, connected loads and the environment.

High resolution measurements are available as graphs which are better than numbers alone to illustrate a problem such as distorted mains waveforms or low power factors.

Measuring the Supply – The eyePower MDU excels in its range of measurements and class leading resolution. Real world systems experience shows that measuring live/neutral voltage is a simplistic view of the mains since most modern power supplies accept a wide variation in voltage and live supply faults are fuse protected anyway. A number of different measurements are required to gain a true picture of a technical mains supply in service, many issues can also be localised so tests should be at the final distribution.

Measuring Outputs – Overall, and optional individual channel output, current uses sensitive current transformers that allow non-invasive current measurement with remarkable resolution from milliamps to 70 Amps peak.

Measuring the Environment – eyePower supports Maxim 1-Wire® for multiple temperature and humidity sensors, optionally extending GPIOs beyond the four GPIOs already available on the unit to support items such as access switches and smoke detectors. Temperature sensors are available as small devices that can be used to monitor heating issues at equipment level.

Controlling Outputs – eyePower MDU run an internal macro language to control outlets and GPIOs. Routines can be customised to sequence on, cycle power, or load shed/restore according to changeover or UPS operation for example. Routines can be initiated according to GPI, serial command, TCP control or via the web browser. eyePower treats the front panel switch as a GPI, allowing the unit to be programmed with a number of outlets under front panel control, while others are 24 hour or remote control powered.

Graphical Interfaces – OLED, Windows, Web Remote Control – RS422, TCP/IP, SNMP. eyePower includes a front panel, full colour OLED display as standard for local monitoring. Optional RS422 and 100Mbit/s Ethernet interfaces allow setup and control using Bryant Unlimited’s Windows software; third party control systems such as BNCS or Skyline; the integrated web browser. SNMP data interrogation is also available as an option.

V-Nova LCEVC

LCEVC is being developed by MPEG, following rigorous performance and visual quality tests, with IP contributed by V-Nova. It provides an additional layer of compression efficiency to any existing or future video codec. LCEVC offers higher quality at lower bitrates to any video distribution workflow, whilst reducing processing power and costs.

Business Benefits

  • Reduce Churn –Better video quality and increased resolutions at the same bitrates drive up Quality-of-Experience and customer satisfaction, increasing viewing times for improved ad-monetisation and significantly reducing subscriber churn
  • Increase Reach – Enables stable video delivery at lower bitrates than ever before (as low as 100kbps) – meaning viewers can be reached over the most limited networks
  • Reduce Delivery Costs – Storage and CDN delivery costs can be cut by up to 80%
