GV Node delivers a broadcast centric, real time, distributed edge routing and IP processing node that supports IP and SDI workflows with vertically accurate switching and integrated processing, including integrated Kaleido multiviewing for live production, playout and general purpose infrastructure. Up until now, there has not been an IP aggregation, processing and edge routing node designed for live production in broadcast, which can offer deterministic vertically accurate switching along with other signal processing and routing capability. With the introduction of GV Node, common off-the-shelf (COTS) IP switches can be used in broadcast and media facilities with the assurance that these switches offer transparent broadcast-centric operation and processing, supporting SMPTE ST 2022-6 IP inputs and outputs, as well as TICO visually lossless 4:1 compression for 4K UHD applications.
- Provides vertically accurate switching and IP aggregation of up to 144x144 SDI or IP video signals
- Quiet audio switching of 2,304x2,304 audio channels
- Highly distributed topology, based on “spine-leaf” architecture that’s typical of modern IT infrastructures
- Industry proven built-in Kaleido multiviewer for high-quality picture and graphics monitoring
- Small 4 RU footprint, typically requiring 40% less rack space than competitive systems with comparable weight reduction
- 1 TB of IP bandwidth for signal aggregation
- Up to 16 I/O processing modules:
- Backwards compatible with all existing Densité modular processing
- Fully integrated 9x2 multiviewer module, expandable to 36x4
- Compatible with the large installed base of Densité signal processing modules for production in a box
- High level of functional integration across IP switching, IP/SDI gateway, audio processing and multiviewing
- Support for SMPTE ST 2022-6 and TICO compression (4K UHD-capable, scalable to 8K x 8K with one hop)
