HD-SDI Video
Over Ethernet

A

rtel Video Systems has announced
successful
interoperability
between Artel's DigiLink media
transport platform and the SX1012
switch
system
from
Mellanox
Technologies.
The
interoperability
enables
transport of uncompressed HD-SDI
streams over an Ethernet network in
accordance with industry standard
SMPTE 2022-5/6 specification for
IP Encapsulation and Forward Error
Correction.
"Since the 2012 release of SMPTE
2022-6, the broadcast industry has
been demanding end-to-end transport
of uncompressed video in an IP-centric
world," said Richard Dellacanonica,
President of Artel Video Systems.
"The Mellanox Ethernet switch
enables us to provide our mutual
customers with a complete
SMPTE 2022-based solution over
IP infrastructures."
The Artel DigiLink DLC450
module is a solution for transporting

TLX

uncompressed
HD-SDI
(SMPTE
292M) over 10GbE networks using
industry-standard SMPTE 2022-5/6
packetisation and FEC.
In interoperability testing, the
DLC450 worked seamlessly with the
Mellanox SX1012 switch system, a costeffective and high-performance top-ofrack solution.
The testing has proven that both
technologies adhere to and can
support the SMPTE 2022 industry
standard to enable the encapsulation
of high-performance video signals for
transport over IP networks.

ZOO Digital Debuts
At NAB
Z

OO Digital has unveiled its newest
cloud-based platform, ZOOstudio,
at NAB Show in Las Vegas. ZOOstudio
will provide content owners with a
new, efficient way to manage global
distribution of video content to a wide
range of digital platforms.
With the number of digital
distribution platforms continuing
to grow, content owners face
unprecedented challenges and costs in
order to maximise global licensing and
exploitation of digital video. ZOOstudio
will help content distributors to
manage the complex tasks involved in
delivering digital video media globally.
It will offer a centralised, end-to-end
distribution management platform
to guide operators through the entire
content packaging process and meet
the required technical and metadata
standards of each platform, tracking
the content through to delivery.
ZOOstudio will provide a convenient
way to order, manage and repurpose
localisation
materials
including
subtitles, captions and dubbing in any

global language for any distribution
platform. In addition, services are
provided for enriching titles with
value-added materials for platforms
that support such features.
Speaking ahead of NAB, ZOO
Digital President Gordon Doran
commented: "We're pleased to be
unveiling ZOOstudio at this year's NAB
Show, a new cloud service designed
to help media owners manage the
complex workflows and packaging
requirements for distributing to
multiple digital platforms. ZOOstudio
will enable clients to deliver compliant,
localised content to global territories
quickly and cost-effectively."
ZOO Digital, based in Los Angeles,
London and Sheffield, provides
media production, localisation and
distribution services to the world's
leading content creators, including
BBC Worldwide and five of the major
Hollywood studios. ZOO utilises cloud
computing and ZOO technology to
deliver smarter, simpler and more
cost-effective global services.

4K@60Hz KVM and Video Extension
and Matrix Switching System

TLX is the new 10Gbps KVM and video signal management system from Thinklogical. It is the first system in the
market to deliver extension and switching of uncompressed, full resolution, full color depth 4K video (4096 x
2160 resolution, 4-4-4 color depth) at 60Hz frame rate using only two cables, the fewest in the industry.
TLX gives you high-bandwidth performance and a flexible, efficient, and modular signal architecture supporting
both fiber-optic and CATx connectivity. TLX offers the lowest signal latency in the industry and no visual artifacts,
jitter or lost frames for the highest video signal quality.
Thinklogical has created a unique dual connector on its TLX extenders that can receive both HDMI and DisplayPort
cables on the same extender, reducing the number of extenders needed, and eliminating the requirement for
an external adapter or dongle to convert from
DisplayPort to DVI or HDMI.
