Axon To Appear At Broadcast India

Axon Digital Design has announced that it will demonstrate its SynView solution in Asia for the first time at Broadcast India later this month, 20 – 22 October.

The SynView modular multiviewer is capable of handling both 4K and IP video formats. Designed for use as a stand-alone unit, or as part of an Axon Synapse signal processing system, the solution compliments a range of applications and monitoring walls. With a single field latency (20ms@50Hz and 16,[email protected]) multiview system, it is also customisable, with two basic models available in two versions (SDI I/O or Ethernet I/O) that can be mixed and matched to build a hybrid multiviewer with hundreds of inputs.

The company's Synapse range will also be on display; it includes production 'tool boxes' supporting Vanc and Hanc data, such as timecode and embedded audio, as well as Dolby E encoding and decoding. Synapse also supports 4K production with a range of up and down converters and a new range of I/O panels that enable conversion to and from 4K 4-wire and 12Gb/s.

Axon will also showcase the latest version of its Cerebrum Control & Monitoring software. Cerebrum reduces production workloads by enabling complex tasks to be completed in minutes. The software supports a variety of third party devices including routers, production switchers, servers, receiver decoders, multi-viewers and waveform monitors, all of which can be managed from one interface.

SMART DVB, a suite of tools to monitor, report and analyze live MPEG-2 and DVB transport streams, will be available to view at Broadcast India 2016. SMART DVB allows owners and operators to ensure health, conformity and quality across the digital distribution chain.

In conjunction with its US partner Utah Scientific, Axon will also demonstrate the UTAH-100/UDS router.

Geert-Jan Gussen, Marketing Manager, Axon, said: "Given the current interest in Ultra-HD, we are confident that Axon products such as SynView and the new 4K up/down converters we recently added to our Synapse signal processing range will help shape the future of 4K production for Indian broadcasters. We certainly see India is a burgeoning market and we already count broadcasters such as Tata Sky, Zee Entertainment and STAR among our customer base. Offering local support is very important, especially as people transition from SDI to 4K and IP, so to this end we have appointed Vinod Gangal as Axon's Product Marketing Manager in India."

Axon will be located on Stand E502, Broadcast India 2016.
