Some call it cloud, some call it virtualization – we call it: V__matrix. This new IP broadcast video core infrastructure will turn the ideas of live broadcast systems from conventional to future, transforming any broadcast installation into a flexible, future-proof production facility, addressing a wide range of workflows and supporting your transition to a total IP-based environment.
V__matrix is the first of its kind. Free from the restrictions of legacy hardware platforms it offers a completely virtualized real-time routing and processing infrastructure. Instead of connecting single purpose modular products in elaborate production chains the V__matrix is based on data center principles of flexibility, fabric computing and COTS economics and makes these available to any live production broadcast environment. Whether an OB truck, a TV studio or a broadcast operation center, V__matrix creates a fully virtualized core infrasturcture.
- World’s 1st virtualized broadcast ecosystem with software defined functionality based on high-capacity generic compute blades
- Unified routing and processing core infrastructure
- Source-timed and destination-timed frame-accurate clean switching with COTS switches using software-defined networking (SDN)
- Distributed processing over multiple networked processing blades
- Seamless SDI to IP migration utilizing one unified control system (VSM)
- High-density IP conversion for legacy SDI equipment (up to 160 I/O in 3RU)
- Optimum utilization of resources: Significantly reduced footprint, power consumption, spare pooling and cabling
- Sophisticated multi-layer redundancy for signal, network, control and hardware layers
- Designed for both decentralized operation and data center style centralized operation
- Fully based on open standards in-line with the AIMS roadmap: SMPTE 2022-6/-7, VSF TR-03/04, AES67 plus SMPTE VC-2 and Ember+
