Evertz MAGNUM simplifies broadcast facility workflow, bridging all-SDI,
all-IP or hybrid components under one control point, supporting a transition
from SDI to an IP-centric facility.
Evertz MAGNUM Software-Defined Video Network Transitions SDI to IP |
Evertz MAGNUMis software-defined video networking,SDVN, that works as a unified control system, bridging all of the major components, whether all-SDI, all-IP or hybrid, within the broadcast path under a single point of control. Not only does this system simplifybroadcast facility workflow, help increase efficiency and potentially lower costs, it also supports efforts to transition from SDI to anIP-centric facilitywithout compromising services. |

MAGNUM runs on aUnix based operating system, with redundant networking and a multi-node cluster with automatic fail over, managing and controlling routers, multiviewers and terminal equipment under a single system. It can be scaled to accommodate large numbers of devices, panels and control interfaces, and integrate existing third party systems into a centralized control environment. The system’s components are familiar, using arouting coreand interfacing to all Evertz and 3rd party routers. A single hardware control surface is configurable and allows users to install apps to interface with routing systems, multiviewers, terminal equipment, logo inserters, Overture RT, keyers, ATP, XRF and clip layers. |

Each system is handled throughsoftware modules. For example,MAGNUM NAMESis a central location for viewing and managing naming between Evertz and supported 3rd party systems through a dashboard notification service, using protocol translators. This module is how users can keep hybrid systems in sync without export or import re-format functions to manage names between systems. |

Access profilesare used to provide each panel and user interface its own customized access to resources. Meanwhile, you can make configuration changes while minimizing impact on the operation of the system. http://www.evertz.com |
