IBC, Amsterdam, 21st August 2017
This includes its high density Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) which allows for 16 channels to be simultaneously decoded on a 1U chassis – potentially replacing half a rack of equipment with a single server. It is the highest density IRD currently on the market and is completely software based, running as apps on standard IT hardware.
In addition to traditional SDI, the decoder now supports decoding to uncompressed IP outputs using a new 25GbE interface. This is the only encoder/decoder pair to support 25GbE, allowing for ultra-high density deployments to handle the content explosion.
Additionally, the company will be demonstrating its new Remote Production solution. This will allow broadcasters to reduce the complexity of off site production by sending multiple video paths back to base over a variety of networks, managed or unmanaged.
The company is also showing ultra-low latency VC-2 compression, further demonstrating that software solutions can deliver latency comparable with legacy broadcast hardware.
‘We are pioneering the evolution of broadcast. We are developing IP solutions which mean anyone can deploy content quickly and in a cost efficient manner. Open Broadcast Systems is passionate about being the driving force of innovation in the industry, and we look forward to demonstrating this at IBC.’ Commented Kieran Kunhya, Managing Director, Open Broadcast Systems.
Open Broadcast Systems will be exhibiting on booth 7.J38u at IBC, from the 15th to 19th September.
Open Broadcast Systems has also been shortlisted in the CSI Awards in the Best Cable or Satellite IP Solution. The Awards are being presented on the 15th September.
