MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems has a new ST 2110 product line including the MDoG Series that bridges between the SDI and IP worlds. The MDoG series helps broadcasters and content creators manage uncompressed and compressed signals as they move between legacy systems and IP networks, with full redundancy to optimize performance. Available as openGear modules, they represent MultiDyne’s first true IP gateway solutions for uncompressed ST 2110 networks. The modules provide a reliable SDI-to-IP network interface with wide bandwidth, helping broadcast and media companies optimize throughput for uncompressed 4K and HD video transport.
The MDoG Series offers the following:
- MDoG-6060 ST 2110 Gateways: For uncompressed transport, the ST 2110 gateways come available in multiple I/O configurations for 3G-SDI (3×3, 6×2 and 2×6) and 12G-SDI (1×1, 2×0 and 0x2) systems. Each configuration offers two 25GB network interfaces to support redundant transport streams.
- MDoG-6061 JPEG-XS Codecs: These codecs support high-density signal transport in modern workflows where uncompressed transport isn’t yet a reality. The MDoG-6061 JPEG-XS encoders and devices support TR-08 compliant, low-latency compression or decompression of up to two channels of 12G-DSI over dual 10GB network interfaces.
- SMPTE ST 2022-7 Compliance: The ST 2022-7 standard provides hitless merge functionality, which means that the two network streams will borrow packets from each other to maintain signal integrity as they move through the network, ensuring streams are reassembled and intact upon reaching their destinations. This feature is available in all MDoG modules.
MultiDyne has also introduced two new models for its second-generation NanoBrix line of throwdown converters, both available with LC or ST connectors:
- The NB2-12G-HDMI is a 12G to HDMI 2.0 converter with SDI and fiber optic input options. The device accepts a 12G 4K SDI signal and converts it to HDMI for live confidence monitoring. A popular 5.1 audio to 2.0 stereo audio downmixing feature has been carried over from the 3G-SDI/HDMI 1.4 version.
- The NB2-10G-TRX is a 10GbE RJ-45 fiber extender with a POE++ option. In addition to LC or ST connectors, the NB2-10G-TRX is available in a WDM single-fiber configuration.
