The IQUCP50 is a user configurable multi-channel video over IP transceiver developed for use within low latency and high bandwidth Ethernet IP networks. Using RTP VSF TR-03 (SMPTE 2110), TR-04 and SMPTE 2022-6 encoding and encapsulation schemes, along with clause 74 FEC, enables the IQUCP50 to encode or decode up to 16 SDI signals and transport them over redundant 50GbE links (SMPTE 2022-7) with either dual or single port options. To enable hardware processing flexibility IQUCP50 has a variety of Software Defined Cores (SDCs) available that can be purchased and loaded as operational needs demand. SDCs can be installed via a licensing mechanism and include; essence processing for SDI to IP gateway type applications, signal monitoring for multi-viewer style applications, network processing for IP transcoding and NAT firewall applications, and signal processing for broadcast quality conversion and processing requirements. With it’s essence processing SDC IQUCP50 provides frame synchronized SDI outputs along with both uncompressed and compressed (using SMPTE-2042 - VC2) modes of IP operation. Encapsulation of signals in a SMPTE 2022-6 transport stream is also catered for. IQUCP50 is fully compatible with GV’s new broadcast centric IP routing and network management solution designed to migrate Broadcasters from a traditional baseband routing and control environment to new Hybrid SDI and IP workflows.

The Densité 3+ XIP-3901 from Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, is an agile processing platform that focuses on high-quality live production for HD, 1080p, 4K UHD and HDR. This platform is a bridge for the hybrid world, consisting of today’s proven SDI technology and the IP connectivity of tomorrow. To meet customers’ needs both now and in the future, the XIP-3901 uses a flexible “virtualized” hardware platform. Based on a powerful FPGA engine, the XIP-3901 can be reconfigured with software updates for different applications as requirements change.
The XIP-3901 agile processing platform with a rear XIP-3901-3+DRP comes with all the 12G/quad link 3G/3G/HD-SDI connectivity to support two 4K UHD processing paths with dual 25 GbE SFP cages for future IP I/O migration. The XIP-3901 is installed in the established Densité modular frame. Due to advanced processing capabilities and power requirements, the XIP-3901 is supported by the Densité 3+ FR1 and FR4 frames. The initial applications for the XIP-3901 agile IP/SDI processing platform provides full functionality of up/down/framesync-gearbox processing capability delivered through three applications that allow your live productions — either from trucks, venues or stadiums — to make the most of the new 4K UHD and HDR formats. This includes playout channels where output of a 4K UHD HDR channel needs to be downconverted for an HD SDR simulcast version.
Densité 3+ XIP-3901-UC is an application that provides a dual-channel 12G/quad link 3G/3G/HD-SDI upconverter, which is designed to synchronize, upconvert and process HD and 3G 1080p signals for both 1080p and 4K UHD 2160p broadcast production. The XIP-3901-UC application features broadcast-quality scalers, motion-adaptive de-interlacers and color space conversions from ITU-R BT.709 to ITU-R BT.2020. Densité 3+ XIP-3901-DC* is an application that provide a dual-channel 12G/quad link 3G/3G/HD downconverter, which is designed to synchronize, downconvert and process 4K UHD 2160p and 1080p for both 1080p and HD broadcast production. The XIP-3901-DC application features broadcast-quality down-scalers, interlacers and color space conversions from ITU-R BT.2020 to ITU-R BT.709. Densité 3+ XIP-3901-FS* is an application that provide a dual-channel 12G/quad link 3G/3G/HD frame synchronizer with gearbox functionality, which is designed to synchronize and convert color space between ITU-R BT.2020 and ITU-R BT.709 in 4K UHD, 1080p and HD broadcast productions. All applications will delay 12G/3G/HD embedded audio and metadata to maintain synchronization with video. The optional HDR processor, XIP-3901-UDCHDR, allows conversion between SDR and HDR formats, supporting HLG (ITU-R BT.2100), PQ (SMPTE ST 2084, ITU-R BT.2100) and S-Log3/S-Gamut3 formats, with conversion between formats.

The XRE Transcoder 9 from Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, is a standalone conversion solution that enables broadcasters and media companies to automate the transcoding of media files, using watch folders that can be placed anywhere on a network. Transcoding is fully optimized to the host machine’s specifications and is faster than real-time in many cases. Supplied as software or a full turnkey system and connected via Ethernet, XRE Transcoder 9 gives editors in a workgroup the freedom to spend their time editing, not transcoding, and supports the extensive list of formats and codecs that has made EDIUS such a force in broadcast news production.
New in version 9 of the XRE Transcoder is an “Effect Template” feature that allows customized effects such as layered graphics, image side bar blur, speed change, HDR metadata inclusion and more, to the clip as it is being transcoded. XRE Transcoder 9 can be used with any third-party professional NLE system. A simple interface allows off-loading of transcoding jobs from the NLE system to the XRE Transcoder, and an SDK is available to facilitate integration into third-party systems and workflows. Transcoding job status can be monitored from any machine on the network. Multiple servers can be configured as nodes to share jobs.
