The Benefits of Etere Full IP Playout

More than just an IP-based replacement for SDI, Etere's complete IP solution is a bi-directional transmission, enabling you to share video and audio over IP and send and receive multiple input and output signals between devices on your network.

Etere's complete IP playout solution is scalable, easy to manage, and cost-effective. It is a complete solution that includes Ingest, Media Asset Management (MAM), Transcoding, Quality Control, Playout, Graphics, Etere ETX-M IP Multiviewer and Closed Caption capabilities. With Etere, you can build an IP facility that does not require any SDI hardware and is less expensive than a traditional solution. Etere has supported Newtek technology since 2014, when its IT-based channel-in-a-box system, Etere ETX, was integrated with NDI support.

Ready for Virtual Machines (VM)
Etere IP technology allows you to use virtual machines. Only the ETX-M IP Multiviewer requires SDI cards. You can have a virtual environment to manage your MAM, ingest, transcode and playout with cost savings in hardware and maintenance costs.

Performance and Flexibility
■ Latency compression for SD, HD and 4K video, audio and metadata
■ Encode, transmit and receive multiple streams of video and audio in real-time
■ Manages multiple high-quality and ultra-low latency video streams simultaneously
■ Low bandwidth consumption and CPU impact
■ Point-to-point IP connection with failover and automatic re-connection
■ Video data compression with the NDI codec, which delivers 1080 full HD video at VBR data rates of around 100mBit/seconds
■ Full resolution, full frame-rate video suitable for limited bandwidth wireless, remote and large-scale networks
■ Redundant with the use of standard IP adapters
■ Easy migration without hardware requirements
■ Requires only standard Gigabit cables, freedom from dependency on distribution amps, video matrix routers
