Built on 30 years of rock-solid delivery for Live Sports, it’s time to discover a new kind of Ultra-capable IP Media Platform for Transport, Remote/Distributed Production and more
XSCEND – IP Media Platform
Xscend is our all new ultra-dense, ultra-versatile media platform, designed for the network edge as a reconfigurable, evolvable, IP migration gateway. Incorporating hybrid hardware and software engines, its adaptable architecture accommodates changing network protocols, user workflows, physical interfaces, video resolutions/frame rates and codec algorithms.
Application flexibility is the hallmark of Xscend’s next generation design, delivering unprecedented capabilities in a small 2RU footprint. The platform addresses the migration from SDI-to-IP and IP-to-IP environments along with high density, low latency remote/distributed production applications, including Ground to Cloud connectivity. Up to 128 contribution quality media and data services across both managed and unmanaged (open internet) networks can be supported.
Through its hardware modularity, software upgradeability and license configurability, flexible workflows can be adapted to support a wide variety of diverse use-cases.
