MediaInfra Strada

Routing and Control is typically a crucial part of any broadcast and live production environment where workflows need an intelligent platform to support new IP-based connections, while still seamlessly connecting with your legacy SDI devices, and to provide intelligent routing control as a step stone towards distributed workflows.
MediaInfra 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. Consisting of an advanced customizable router control system and optional high-density SDI to IP gateways, in combination with switches of our certified partner Arista, MediaInfra Strada can come as a direct drop-in replacement for an SDI router, while enabling you to grow into a full IP backbone with minimal effort.

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.
