Axon committing to 4K / UHD with SynView

Celebrating 30 years in the broadcast industry , Axon Digital Design is affirming its commitment in delivering solutions that would support the industry ’ s move to 4K / Ultra HD ( UHD ), as well as help broadcasters to transit from SDI to IP .
The first solution Axon is presenting is the SynView multi-viewer system , which is capable of managing both 4K / UHD and IP video formats . Designed to support a wide range of applications from small to large monitoring walls , SynView can also be deployed as high source count monitor walls , or for outside broadcasting ( OB ) van
preview monitoring and shading .
Available in two models , each in two versions — SDI I / O and Ethernet I / O — operators can deploy a mix of both versions to build a hybrid multiviewer system . Equipped with eight HD outputs and two 4K / UHD outputs , SynView also features multiple connector panels to allow for different I / O configurations .
In addition , the company is highlighting the Synapse NIO440 card , which is an eight-channel bi-directional Ethernet / SDI bridge from 3G / HD-SDI to uncompressed
Ethernet video transport and decentralised routing . Operators can employ NIO440 to establish a point-to-point video / audio / data connection using fibre-optic cables or SMPTE camera cables to provide point to multi-point routing and distribution using IT switches .
The card is currently compatible with both AVB / TSN and SMPTE 2022 standards . Other standards such as VSF TR-03 and TR-04 , as well as SMPTE 2059 , will also be supported via future software upgrades , says Axon .
