Professionals requiring leading-edge signal extension in the broadcast environment have some unique new options, courtesy of MuxLab.

SMPTE’s development of ST-2110 for the transport of AV over an IP network in a broadcast environment is a game changer allowing for a complete redesign of work flows and increased interoperability and reliability of devices and signal transport. At the same time, industry organizations are continuing to work on the IPMX road map to bring together ProAV and Broadcast, with the implementation of NMOS. MuxLab’s problem solving solution allows the transmission of uncompressed 4K HDMI video over a 10G ethernet network with redundancy & NMOS support. The new ST2110 over IP MuxLab solution (model 500774) is ideal for commercial broadcast AV systems, news/sports/TV stations, and movie networks. The AVoIP kit allows lower cost HDMI 4K equipment to be utilized in a broadcast environment and extended up to 1300ft (400m) via duplex multimode OM4 fibre with LC connectors, at up to 4K resolution @ 30Hz uncompressed, in a point to-point configuration. Point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations are also possible by connecting several units to a 10G Ethernet network. The unit provides a 1G Ethernet Switch port for management purposes, and an RS232 port for remote control of end devices. The HDMI 4K/ST2110 over IP Uncompressed Gateway Converter also supports SMPTE ST-2110, and a Rest API for third party management as well as NMOS and ST-2022-7 Signal Redundancy for critical applications. MuxLab also offers another ST-2110 solution in the 3G-SDI/ ST2110 over IP Uncompressed Gateway Converter (model 500767). This Converter allows HD-SDI and 3G-SDI equipment to be extended up to 100ft (30m) via UTP Cat 6a/7 cable or up to 1300ft (400m) via duplex multimode OM4 fibre with LC connectors, at up to 1080p resolution @ 60Hz uncompressed, in a point-to-point configuration, as well as point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations by connecting several units to a 10G Ethernet network. A new version of model 500767 which will also support redundancy and additional features is set to launch in Q4 2021. Alongside these ST-2110 solutions, MuxLab provides a robust Broadcast line of Splitters, Capture cards, Extenders, Test Equipment, and Rackmount Displays.
