SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation chooses a 4K Broadcast IP Routing System from Sony

Sony Business Solutions (Japan) has been chosen by SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation to deliver an industry-leading 4K broadcast IP routing system to help the company further enhance its 4K broadcasting.

The system uses IP transmission to output and monitor 4K broadcast video. Incorporating a Sony HDRC-4000 HDR production converter unit, the system enables integrated 4K and HD operations and leads the way for 4K HDR production in mainstream 4K broadcasting. Delivery to SKY Perfect JSAT was completed in March 2017 and the system has been in use since the beginning of April.

Strengthening its efforts in embracing leading-edge broadcast technologies and high-quality content, SKY Perfect JSAT continues to make significant contributions to 4K broadcasting. IP technology from Sony will provide SKY Perfect JSAT with the flexibility to add more video lines and easily change its transmission formats, allowing for quick configuration of highly extensible transmission and monitoring. While the use of IP itself offers significant flexibility and scalability, SKY Perfect JSATs decision is also driven by trust in the recognised expertise of the Sony team and its industry-leading 4K solutions.

Sony is committed to developing IP solutions that are ready today, open for tomorrow. IP is an operational reality in live production environments, with partners and customers using the underlying core technologies in the Sony IP Live Production System. The centralised network-based management helps broadcasters make the most of IP technologies, allowing them to deliver on the increasing demand for 4K live content while addressing the cost and scalability issues associated with conventional SDI live production workflows. The IP Live Production System from Sony offers a powerful combination of flexibility, scalability and reliability, allowing for high-value content to be produced.

By using COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) network switchers as basic infrastructure, Sonys IP Live approach allows for configuration of highly functional systems with cost-performance. Systems can easily be extended through the addition of more switches; transmission channels can be added, and transmission formats changed, with a simple way to reconfigure the infrastructure itself. Implementation of redundancy is straightforward, allowing for immediate switchover to backup components in the event of a system failure, without interruption of video transmission.

Sonys 4K Broadcast IP Routing System for SKY Perfect JSAT includes:

PWS-100NMI IP Live System Manager

NXL-FR318 Signal Processing Unit

NXLK-IP40F SDI-IP Converter Board

HDRC-4000 HDR Production Converter Unit
