Evertz is introducing the RFK-ITXE-HW-DUO, a flexible platform that can be used for bulk signal acquisition and high-density encode/decode applications.
The platform can function as a multi-path transcoder for signal acquisition and normalisation as well as a bulk contribution encoder that can support JPEG XS encoded UHD outputs coupled with parallel HEVC SRT output to deliver 4K content with low bandwidth and latency, said the company.
The RFK-ITXE-HW-DUO’s multi-format application caters to primary contribution backhaul while also providing an SRT path for unreliable networks, making it ideal for a parallel backup contribution, added Evertz.
Its bulk encoder can alternatively provide an HLS or RTMP output, catering to additional transport backhaul applications. The platform supports SMPTE ST 2110 (up to UHD), as well as SDR and HDR content.
“We are very excited to further expand and cater to unique, challenging broadcast workflows with the RFK-ITXE-HW-DUO, which is a result of our continuous research and development in media processing and IP solutions,” said Rajvir Singh, technical product manager for compression systems.
“The RFK-ITXE-HW-DUO is a game-changer for our customers, who can now benefit from a single platform that can handle any media format, resolution and protocol while delivering exceptional quality and performance. The RFK-ITXE-HW-DUO is not only a product, but a platform that can enable new business opportunities and revenue streams for our customers in the broadcast and streaming markets.”
