Artel Video Systems Shows SMART In openGear
Artel Video Systems’ SMART Media Delivery Platform.
The SMART openGear Platform is the flagship for Artel at NAB 2022.
Rafael Fonseca, vp, Product Management, Artel Video Systems said, “It’s an exciting time to be bringing advanced IP-based solutions to the NAB Show. We look forward to showcasing the flexibility our SMART Media Delivery Platform, Quarra switches, and FiberLink solutions bring to broadcasters as they transition to IP and as they move to optimize their IP-based operations and workflows.”
Described as a software-defined, four-channel, auto-sense SD-SDI/HD-SDI/3G/4K-over-IP multifunction gateway, SMART OG is the first to JPEG compression engines, including those specified in VSF TR-01, TR-07, and TR-08, onto the openGear platform.
It won an NAB Show Product of the Year Award for 2021 in the Hardware Infrastructure category. The SMART OG is initially configured for a specific function, but it may be adapted for a growing array of functions, such as reformatting or encoding per JPEG2000, JPEG-XS, SMPTE ST 2110, SMPTE ST 2022-1/2/5/6/7, H.265, IEEE 1588, or other functions yet to be specified. The gateway provides four BNCs for SDI or ASI input/output and two 10GbE SFPs for trunking and aggregation.
Artel’s SMART Media Delivery Platform is presented as a software-defined, four-channel, auto-sense 3G/HD/SD-SDI-over-IP multifunction gateway with integrated nonblocking Layer 2/3 switching and routing capabilities. Throughout the show, Artel will offer live demos highlighting the SMART (DigiLink/InfinityLink and openGear) platform’s JPEG-XS support and flexibility.
Artel’s Quarra range of PTP-aware managed IP switches are also at NAB. These offer accurate IEEE 1588-compliant timing and synchronization. The switches have been modified to support live performance environments and now features quieter fans as well as new software-based controls that vary fan speed based on temperature for less overall noise.
The switches support SMPTE ST 2110 and ST 2059-2, permitting interoperable use of IP-based media equipment with conventional genlocked SDI equipment. The switches are RAVENNA AES67-approved and Dante- and QSC-tested.
Finally, Artel’s FiberLink media transport products are in Vegas. Devices here boast SMPTE standards support to ensure interoperability and reliability in video, audio, and data transport.
