Sony’s NXL-IP55 Takes the Cabling Out of Live Camera Events

Sony’s new NXL-IP55 utilizes IP technology to simplify the camera set-up and cabling of live productions. Now it’s possible to transmit essential broadcast signals from up to three different cameras via a single IP LAN with low latency. That means you save time and money by reducing the number of cables required compared to conventional systems. Installation is straightforward, so set-up time is also significantly less.

• Multiple inputs and outputs. Upstream and downstream transmission of HD video, audio, and various control signals via a single IP LAN network.
• Broadcast-Quality Full HD 1080p Resolution. Transmit full HD broadcast-quality multi-channel video and audio via a 1-Gbps Ethernet network. Sony says the unit supports full HD 1920x1080i and 1280x720p 4:2:2 video formats.
