The adoption of 4K video and soon 8K video formats and the transition from Serial Digital Interface (SDI) to IP-based broadcasting drive the need for efficient, higher performance networking technologies that can stream more bits per second in real-time. This is why you should consider using Mellanox’s Ethernet Video Fabrics with the emerging Ethernet speeds of 25, 50, and 100GbE with advanced offload technologies that accelerate data communication for servers and storage in your new video data centers.
Join us at IBC, where we’ll join our partners to demonstrate a wide variety of solutions based on our IP technology for broadcasting and postproduction solutions that address the high bandwidth requirement driven by the adoption of 4K UHD and 8K UHD video formats and from the demanding new standards, such as the SMPTE 2110-21 specification for packet pacing, which addresses both the switch and receiver constraints.
In our booth we will demonstrate Rivermax™ our video streaming library for media and entertainment, smart cities and content delivery networks (CDNs) playout SMPTE2110 video streams on Windows 10 (desktop) – you can see a sneak peek on YouTube.
Please don’t miss our presentations at the IBC conference and visit us in the IP Showcase and in the Expo. Below is a complete list of our activities.
The IP Showcase features a full schedule of must-see IP video education sessions, live demonstrations (including the Rivermax, Spectrum™ SN2010 switch and ConnectX®-5 Ethernet NIC) and the latest interoperability developments. Visit the showcase to learn more about alternatives to SDI for 4K and 8K video.
