Grass Valley Demonstrates New IP Technology at IBC 2014

15/06/2017

Montreal, Canada, 2014-09-08 MONTREAL, September 8, 2014 Broadcasters seeking to accommodate viewers demands for high-quality live programming, delivered in real time and on demand across multiple platforms, are increasingly considering developing IP-based workflows to handle changing bandwidth, scalability and flexibility requirements. Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, will feature a series of IP-enabled solutions at its IBC 2014 booth, Hall 1: Stand D11, to help customers choose the right option for their needs.

A technology demonstration of Grass Valleys nonproprietary SDN (software defined networks) based solution for managing an IP network will serve as the cornerstone of Grass Valleys IP display at IBC. The breakthrough SDN-enabled control application is the key to establishing a familiar, broadcast-centric control environment that supports a hybrid workflow, controlling both serial digital interface (SDI) and IP simultaneously, and builds a bridge to the future.

The SDN-enabled system is the foundation of our unique approach and design of a control system for broadcasters to make the transition to IP. It enables them to use available third-party routers and switches and a control architecture theyre already familiar with, said Mike Cronk, senior vice president of strategic marketing, Grass Valley. This flexible platform will evolve into our integrated configuration and control system for future-proof performance, expansion and reliability as customers embrace IP.

With Grass Valleys SDN-based control application, broadcasters will be able to control SDI and IP routing using the same common control panel surface already in their facility. Unlike many options on the market, Grass Valleys SDN-based solution will support the use of third-party IT routers and switches and provides a reliable means for switching video and audio in the IP realm alongside standard SDI using a new integrated router configuration and control system. Grass Valleys SDN-enabled solution is designed to function in both production and playout applications.

In addition to the technology demonstration of its SDN-based application, Grass Valleys other IP-enabled products making their European debut at IBC 2014 include current modular and router products like the NVISON 8500 IP Gateway and the IRG 3401 IP Gateway module for Densit .

The NVISION 8500 IP Gateway converts and packetizes real-time, uncompressed, baseband video using SMPTE 2022-6 for transport over 10 GbE Ethernet networks. Once SDI signals are packetized, they can easily be distributed rack-to-rack, truck-to-truck, between floors of a facility and even between buildings or campuses, over IP networks. All signals support frame-accurate switching for use in live production environments. The IRG-3401 IP Gateway is a high-density, bidirectional DVB-ASI/IP gateway card, which runs on the Densit modular platform. The IRG-3401 IP Gateway card makes it possible for broadcasters to keep incoming DVB-ASI signals from remote locations fully operational and jitter-free while connecting them to IP networks.

Other solutions in Grass Valleys IP portfolio include: IRD-3802/3811 MPEG decoders, SME-1901/11 streaming media encoders; Axino-400 IP transport stream loudness processor and the Kaleido IP series of multiviewers.

The road to IP is just now being paved, said Cronk. Customers can expect to see a steady stream of IP-enabled solutions from Grass Valley as we deliver on the promise to keep our customers future-ready.

Grass Valley is exhibiting at IBC 2014 from Sept. 12 16, 2014 in Hall 1: Stand D11.
