SDI router replacement
Flexible SDI I/O to fit your exact connectivity requirements
-
FUTURE PROOF
Native IP connectivity from the start, with the ability to grow with native IP devices as well as SDI I/O
-
PEACE OF MIND
EVS is field proven at providing a 24/7 one-stop support through our worldwide support offices
-
EASY DEPLOYMENT
Includes services for cabling and configuration of the media IP fabric and routing
-
LOW POWER CONSUMPTION
Leveraging Strada Bridge gateways to connect your SDI devices to the IP domain only consumes 5W per I/O
-
FAMILIAR OPERATION AND UX
Through the pre-made router panels, operators will not notice the difference between switching SDI or IP sources
Strada is a complete routing solution designed to control your media workflows, providing you with the best of both worlds: open for IP while still offering the option to connect your SDI devices. In all cases, Strada will be delivered with all required components, including:
- Scalable IP and SDI inputs and outputs
- High density (compared to SDI router)
- Frame-syncs and Audio (de-)embedding on all SDI channels
- Offset delay up to 30 frames per SDI channel (optional)
- Video, audio and ancillary data encapsulation to ST2110 streams
- IP routing with NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 support
- Services include configuration of the media IP fabric
- Optional Shuffle (audio matrix) and View (Multiviewer)
Signal workflow
When SDI I/O are required, multiple video and audio streams are routed from and to the dedicated Neuron Bridge modules to allow SDI ↔ IP bridging and frame synchronization, and optional color correction, audio (de)embedding, UHD remapping and mono-level audio shuffling. This allows you to keep using your SDI-based equipment exactly the way you’re used to, while being able to plug in NMOS-compatible ST2110/ST2022-based devices at any time you want. Through the unified SDI and IP routering in Cerebrum, you can control both domains using the same router control interfaces.
Components
Cerebrum
Cerebrum provides highly customizable interfaces to easily control, configure and monitor any production environment. It features easy router, tally, UMD, mnemonics, categories and tie-line configurations as well as IP device routing via NMOS IS-04, 05, SDP and various native protocols.
Neuron Bridge
Neuron Bridge is a multi-channel A/V-over-IP transceiver developed for use within low-latency and high-bandwidth IP networks. In combination with the SDI expansion module, Neuron Bridge can process up to 32 video signals and multiple channels of audio, acting as a uni- or bidirectional bridge in hybrid applications. Neuron Bridge also performs well in IP-to-IP setups, being the link between ST2022-6 and ST2110.
Neuron Shuffle
With new IP-based audio formats, like ST2110-30 and ST2110-31, the amount of audio channels within a broadcast facility can easily grow into the thousands. Finding which channels belong to which audio streams and shuffling the various channels from one stream to the other is becoming quite a challenge. With Neuron Shuffle you can shuffle and delay thousands of individual audio channels in an 8192x8192 audio matrix.
Arista Ethernet Switch
Highly dynamic broadcast environments continue to evolve with the introduction of new technologies bringing with them ever increasing bandwidth demands, accelerating the need for dense 25 and 100 Gigabit ethernet switching in both leaf and spine tiers. The Arista DSC-7050 Series are purpose built fixed configuration 10/25G and 100G systems built for the highest performance environments.
