Artel And Nevion Showcase
HD-SDI Over IP Compatibility
A

r tel Video Systems and
Nevion have completed an
interoperability test, demonstrating
the compatibility of their equipment
for transporting signals over IP
networks.
The successful test, carried out
at the 2013 NAB Show, conﬁrmed
compliance to SMPTE ST 20226:2012, Transport of High Bit Rate
Media Signals Over IP Networks, the
standard for uncompressed video
encapsulation over IP/Ethernet.
Tests included the interconnection
of Artel Video Systems’ DigiLink
and Nevion’s Ventura platforms that
conﬁrmed the ability to reconstruct
each other’s IP encapsulated
SMPTE 292M HD-SDI signal.
“Today’s successful interoperation
demonstrates the continued

effort by Artel, Nevion, and other
vendors to provide the market
with standards-based products
for transporting contributionquality video across IP networks,”
said Richard Dellacanonica,

President of Artel Video Systems.
“This effort, along with the
emergence of reliable national
and international IP networks, has
created a cost-effective, open
architecture option for transporting
real-time, uncompressed video over
long distances.”

t NAB, Aspera announced
the shipping of the Aspera
fasp plug-in for Avid Interplay
Delivery, enabling high-speed,
secure transfers of file-based
media and metadata between Avid
Interplay Production workgroups
for coordinated multi-site content
creation.
Users can share full resolution
media and associated metadata
b e t w e e n re m o t e I n t e r p l a y
Production workgroups across
a wide area network (WAN) by
transferring video and metadata at
line speed, regardless of distance,
fully utilising the available bandwidth.
The Aspera solution is optimised
for maximum speed retrieval and
storage of media clips on Avid
ISIS storage, with line speed WAN
transfer at any distance, using

USA: Christie has introduced
the Christie D4K2560 and
Christie D4K3560 projectors.
The new D4K models are the
first projectors to combine 4K
resolution, high frame rates at 60
fps and 3-chip DLP technology.
Both the Christie D4K2560
(25,000 centre lumens) and Christie
D4K3560 (35,000 centre lumens)
provides razor-sharp image detail,
and video with smoother motion
and transitions, for unsurpassed
image quality and a more vibrant
and appealing visual experience.

Avid Interplay ﬁle transfers have
received a speed-up via an
Aspera fasp plug-in

collaboration.
The complete Aspera solution
consists of an embedded Enterprise
Server and the new Aspera Plug-in
for Avid, which is fully integrated
with the Avid Interplay Delivery
service APIs.
Also previewed at NAB was
the “Aspera Drive”, a ﬁle sharing
that brings together the best of
Aspera faspex, Shares, and Sync
technologies into a single uniﬁed
platform for project-based file
collaboration.
Unlike the myriad of Drive, File
Sync and Sharing services, the
Aspera platform allows for transfer
and synchronisation of ﬁles sets
of any size and any number with
maximum speed at any distance,
with the full access control, privacy
and security of Aspera technology.

Viz Engine was shown rendering
4K graphics in real-time as well as
its IP media streaming capabilities.
Viz Engine can accept IP streams,
process them, and output them
in real-time so the video is easy
to distribute to the web, mobile
devices, or converted to a video
signal to broadcast on-air.

Cooke Optics’ Lens
Metrology Tools
USA: At NAB, Cooke Optics launched
Cooke Metrology, a range of lens
testing equipment designed by
Cooke and manufactured by Pure4C.
Chairman and Owner of Cooke
Optics Les Zellan said: “We decided
to develop our own tools that would
not only live up to our exacting
standards but also be affordable”.
Cooke Metrology’s projector
makes it much easier to discern
ﬂaws and artefacts in fast lenses.
The projector is scheduled for
release later in the year.
