Bridge Technologies' PoE+
Tabletop Aluminum Kit
B

ridge
Technologies
has
announced a new range of data
display options - the PoE+ Tabletop
Aluminum kit.
Contained within a stylish aluminium
casing for an 10,9 inch iPad Pro, the
PoE+ Tabletop kit facilitates display
of the intuitive, analytical capabilities
of the VB440, providing a flexible,
portable and stylish HTML5-based
visual display of packet behaviours in
a way that allows anyone, anywhere to
monitor network data.
Most importantly, this 'accessible
anywhere' approach is facilitated
through the Power over Ethernet
Plus (PoE+) technology supplying the
unit directly with both its energy and
networking needs. Fully redundant
wired Gigabit Ethernet connection
speed is enabled on the iPad Pro.
Because the system harnesses this
highly unique PoE+ capability, it
provides unrivalled reliability, stability
and convenience - and eliminates
reliance on the presence of a physical

power socket or (often
unstable) Wi-Fi connection.
Further, by making use of
a readily established and
easily available iPad Pro
screen type (supplied on
a 'Bring Your Own' basis),
the Tabletop kit excludes
the need for expensive
production monitors, whilst
maximizing
ease-of-use
through intuitive touch
navigation. With ultra-fast
GPU and CPU, and HDR
capable retina display with high colour
accuracy, the PoE+ Tabletop Aluminum
Kit is able to display VB440 outputs
with speed and precision.
This robust and flexible solution
has been designed to support the
fundamental raison d'être of the
VB440; the ability to visually access
and assess IP network performance
and packet transfer from anywhere
in the world, and make use of that
information at any point along the

PoE+ from Bridge Technologies

creation chain, end-to-end, from
production to distribution.
Bridge Technologies' Chairman,
Simen Frostad, said of the PoE+
Tabletop kit: "As Bridge moves further
forward in providing holistic, end-toend monitoring solutions throughout
the entire creation process -including
acquisition,
contribution,
OTT,
traditional broadcast and satellite - it
becomes even more vital to support

this strategy with display options that
can be used in the most challenging,
tightly
configured
operating
environments. By harnessing PoE+ to
limit cable clutter, we are maximizing
the spaces where access to VB440
data can be taken advantage
of: particularly that of OB
vans."
The Bridge Technologies
PoE+
Tabletop
Kits
essentially represent the
'front end' of an ultra-low
latency,
HTML5-based
system which uses dual
100 gigabit interfaces to
accommodate
remote
monitoring across even
the highest-end projects,
including SD, HD, 4K and 8K.
It takes the ability of an already
unique and award-winning technology
(the VB440) and Bridge's unmatched
expertise in the behaviour of IP
network packets across the full range
of ST 2110 - and makes it accessible to
anyone, anywhere; be this a camera
painter
operating
independently
and remotely, or a network manager
evaluating
overall
strategic
performance.
