and adds HDR-SDR conversion to the recently announced 400GbE support

Manifold technologies, a provider of high-performance cloud infrastructure for live broadcast production, will showcase a suite of new capabilities at NAB 2026 , expanding its feature set alongside the previously announced support for 400GbE COTS FPGA accelerator cards. In addition to the introduction of software which now makes manifold's Multiviewer capabilities available directly on arkona's AT300 blades, new enhancements include high quality 3D-LUT based HDR<->SDR colour conversion.

Manifold's flagship offering - manifold CLOUD - is a software-defined platform that delivers broadcast-grade processing - multiviewers, Up/Down/Cross conversion and graphics insertion - on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) FPGA accelerator cards. By decoupling processing from proprietary hardware, manifold gives users the freedom to choose the acceleration that suits their workflow, supporting cards from BittWare, ProDesign's FALCON series, and other leading vendors. The platform also works seamlessly alongside arkona's BLADE//runner infrastructure, which provides deterministic signal gatewaying, vision mixing, frame synchronisation, and advanced audio processing.

Their latest enhancement builds upon this relationship with arkona and the BLADE//runner platform, providing manifold Multiviewer software which extends the platform's reach into arkona's installed base, allowing users to deploy manifold's advanced multiviewer capabilities directly on the AT300 hardware already present in their BLADE//runner chassis. The integration reinforces the close technology partnership between manifold and arkona, giving users a unified software-defined production ecosystem where processing can be deployed on the hardware that best suits their needs

This provision sits alongside a range of other new capabilities which will be debuting at NAB, including 3D-LUT based colour conversion, now available within manifold's processing pipeline. This enables precise colour management across productions, allowing operators to apply complex colour transforms - whether for creative grading or camera matching with the deterministic performance that FPGA acceleration provides.

These new capabilities occur in conjunction manifold's recently announced support for 400GbE COTS FPGA accelerator cards that will be also on display at NAB 2026. The 400GbE support, which delivers up to 4.8 Tbps of media processing per rack unit grants a density that exceeds any other comparable competitor on the market currently, and - due to its linearly scalable nature - offers capacity that meets the needs of even the largest Tier One providers in the industry.

Aleksei Shevchenko, CEO and co-founder of manifold technologies, commented: These announcements are about giving users more ways to work with manifold. 3D-LUT gives colourists the precision they need, and bringing manifold Multiviewer to the AT300 means our existing arkona users can deploy our software on hardware they already trust. The 400GbE capability gets the headlines, but these features are what make the platform usable day to day .

He continued: We'll also use NAB to talk to potential customers about how these technologies translate into real-world applications. Alongside some projects that we can't name specifically, but which relate to some of the biggest enterprise tech and esports operations in the world, we'll also have an integrated demo with NEP's TFC platform, where visitors will be able to access manifold CLOUD, spin up an Ephemeral Production, and engage fully with a user workflow. It's a really exciting example of collaboration in the market, and an important indication of the level at which manifold CLOUD is being used .
