All Rascular’s router control products can be successfully used with SDVN systems from the major broadcast manufacturers to route IP video including SMPTE-2110.
While the AMWA/NMOS protocol suites could allow IP flows to be discovered and connected using IS-04 and IS-05, this would effectively bypass the SDVN which restricts it’s ability to safely manage signal paths and control bandwidth.
Therefore, we communicate directly with the SDVN systems to control routing – in much the same way as a conventional baseband router would operate.
SDVN | Protocol | Routing Control | Name Transfer | Lock/Protect | Source Status | Notes |
Grass Valley Orbit | Pro-Bel SW-P-08 | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | #1 |
Nevion VideoIPath | Nevion MRP | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | #2 |
Lawo VSM | Pro-Bel SW-P-08 | Yes | TBC | TBC | No | |
Evertz Magnum | Evertz/Quartz | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | |
Imagine Magellan | TBC | TBC | TBC | TBC | TBC |
Notes:
- Orbit Name transfer is restricted to 8 or 12 characters. RouteMaster/Helm should not use the Long16 or Long32 modes.
- VideoIPath does not yet support the Lock/Protect commands, although the MRP protocol does describe these.
RouteMaster, Helm and ClockWork can all be used with these systems.
