Axon For New IP-Based Collaborations

News Image
A multi-vendor system integration to showcase IP-based live broadcast production, the LiveIP Project, has been unveiled by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and Belgian public broadcasting company VRT.

The partnership between EBU, VRT and various industry partners sees the implementation of a live TV production studio at VRT's premises in Brussels. It uses state-of-the-art IT-centric hardware and software, including Axon's Synapse-based networked multiviewer technology.

A scaled down version of the LiveIP setup will be shown as a proof-of-concept demonstration at EBU's booth (10.F20) at IBC2015.

Visitors to the EBU booth will see a demonstration of the system, which uses open standards – in this case SMPTE 2022/6, AES67, and PTP – to transport broadcast feeds via an SDN. The project shows interoperability between multiple vendors, enabling seamless switching and limited redundancy of uncompressed video and audio feeds as they are transported over an IP network.

It features Axon's Synapse based networked multiviewer (SynView), which has 10Gbps Ethernet connectivity and can process and display both traditional SDI sources as well as incoming streams from the network.

The multi-phase LiveIP Project is part of Sandbox+, an international joint platform for collaborative innovation put together by VRT, EBU and iMinds. Industry technology partners participating in the project include Axon, Dwesam, EVS, Genelec, Grass Valley, Lawo, LSB, Nevion, Tektronix and Trilogy who provide all the elements of a live production chain driven by IP.

In recognition of the team's role, the LiveIP Project has also been shortlisted for this year's IABM Design & Innovation Awards, which will be announced on Saturday 12 September at IBC in Amsterdam.

Jan Eveleens, Axon's CEO, said: "We're proud to be a partner in this landmark project and to work with innovators in the industry to make it happen. Axon supports all relevant emerging technologies and is actively involved in developing the next generation of standards. Our products will be capable of handling S2022 as well as AVB based on its technical merit, to deliver flexibility, performance and reliability."
