VERSATILE AUDIO AND VIDEO PROCESSING

 

The V__matrix vm_avp virtual module is a versatile audio and video processing software application that provides routing, processing and glue functionality for the V__matrix eco-system when loaded on a C100 processing blade.

As base functionality, the vm_avp app provides encapsulation and de-encapsulation of 3G, HD and SD-SDI (ST2022-6/7 only) to IP ST2022-6 and ST2110-20/21/30/31/40.

With its base functionality, vm_avp is the logical choice for both gateway and purely IP-based A/V processing, providing up to 160 SDI<->IP conversions in 3RU.

vm_avp includes ST2022-7 seamless protection switching as standard, IP stream format conversion and frame accurate video switching using destination-timed clean and quiet switching (MBB & BBM) with audio V-fade during switching.

Versatile IP Gateway to the Baseband World

Designed as a complete IP infrastructure solution the vm_avp app also provides a multitude of audio and video processing functions. See below.

V__matrix REAR-PLATE I/O MODULES

The V__matrix rear-plate I/O modules provide connectivity to legacy broadcast equipment such as baseband video and audio components.

All IP native processing functions are automatically handled from the two front-mounted 40GE QSFP+ ports.

All rear plates except the io_bnc_2+2+16 support SD, HD, 3G and 4K (via 2SI Quadlink) video. C100 processing blades and rear-plate IO modules are hot swappable.

Available V__matrix rear-plates*:
io_bnc_10+10: 12G(**)/3G/HD/SD SDI interfacing; 10 inputs, 10 outputs; analog REF with loop-thru via micro-BNC connectors.

io_bnc_2+18: 12G(**)/3G/HD/SD SDI interfacing; 2 inputs, 18 outputs; analog REF with loop-thru via micro-BNC connectors.

io_bnc_18+2: 12G(**)/3G/HD/SD SDI interfacing; 18 inputs, 2 outputs; analog REF with loop-thru via micro-BNC connectors.

io_bnc_2+2+16:  3G/HD/SD SDI interfacing; 2 inputs, 2 outputs and software-switchable Inputs/outputs; analog REF with loop-thru via micro-BNC connectors. (Does not support 4K via 12G Single Link.)

* The BNC connectors can also be configured for MADI interfacing (48kHz, 64 channels) by adding the +madi option for vm_streaming.
** 12G available on half  the connectors.

OPTIONAL LICENSES FOR vm_avp

+audio: Adds embedding/de-embedding and shuffling of audio from both IP and baseband I/O with sample rate conversion. Provides 40 TX and 40 RX instances of RAVENNA/AES67/ST2110-30/-31 streaming and an audio crossbar of 512 x 512. Level adjustments, x/y-fades on all outputs.

+madi: Allows to use BNC inputs and outputs for interfacing with MADI signals (AES10, 48kHz, 64 channels).

+audio_matrix: In addition to the specifications of the +audio option, the +audio_matrix option provides a total of 88 RX and 128 TX instances of RAVENNA/AES67/ST2110-30/-31 streaming and an increased audio crossbar of up to 5,312 x 5,312.

+fs: Adds framesync, frame phaser, sample rate conversion and audio/video delay functionality for both IP and baseband video inputs. Pool of approx. 30 seconds @3G assignable across the 24 video delay instances (a 12G 4K signal uses 4 instances). Pool of approx. 49 seconds @16chan@48kHz assignable across 64 audio delay instances). Also provides Dolby-E® auto-alignment functionality.

+vc2: Adds visually lossless VC2/DiracPro ultra-low latency encoding and decoding (each 20 pooled instances @ 3G-SDI; one 12G 4K signal uses 4 instances). ST2042 low-delay profile with RAW headers. Compression configurable between 2.50/3.33/4.00/4.44 to 1. Latency <20 lines

+proc_cc: Adds YUV & RGB color correction, test pattern generator/inserter, and test tone generator. 8 pooled @ 3G-SDI (one 12G 4K signal uses 4 instances).

+12g: Adds support for 12 Gbps video standards (2160p 23.976; 24;25; 29.97; 50; 59.94; 60Hz SMPTE ST2081,2082). Also provides cross conversion capabilities between UHDTV1 Single-Link and Quad-Link (2SI).
