Riedel Extends MediorNet MicroN's Capabilities

Riedel Communications has extended the capabilities of its MediorNet MicroN through the introduction of a new app – the MicroN IP App. Launched at IBC2017, it creates a bridge between MediorNet and IP networks.

The MicroN IP App supports SMPTE ST 2110/AES67-compliant video and audio as well as baseband video (SDI) and audio (MADI). In combination with all the built-in glue features, including audio embedding/de-embedding, frame sync, sample rate conversion, audio/video delay, signal routing, and on-screen display, the MicroN IP App turns the device into a universal tool for all IP-interfacing needs. At the same time, the device can be fully networked with all existing MediorNet products. MicroN IP applications range from a stand-alone SDI-to-IP converter to a fully networked system with numerous different IP gateways and baseband inputs and outputs.

The MicroN IP App includes support for up to four MediorNet high-speed links, up to four SMPTE 2110-20 inputs and outputs, four baseband 3G-SDI signals, and eight 3G-SDI outputs. Four of these outputs are dedicated to monitoring the SMPTE ST 2110-20 streams.

Also supported are up to 128 channels of AES67 audio, two optical MADI ports, and sync I/O. MicroN IP is fully compliant with NMOS device discovery/registration and connection management or can be manually configured when used with non-NMOS devices, including SDP file import/export. Control can be achieved via MediorWorks software or through NMOS.

Lars Höhmann, Product Manager at Riedel Communications, said: "The MicroN IP App is really the inevitable next step for the MediorNet ecosystem as we move ever closer to an IP future. With several I/O options and complete flexibility in placement, MicroN IP can create IP endpoints anywhere in an installation to create a truly hybrid signal-transport and processing environment."
