Bridge Technologies Uniquely Delivers 4K over IP Analytics

“No other company has achieved this over IP yet,” said Simen K. Frostad, Chairman, Bridge Technologies. “In fact, the power of the VB440 is such that we have demonstrated it can deliver that same comprehensive 4K analytics capability to multiple users in a 100 Gigabit environment.”

As a well-known long term evangelist for IP, Frostad has been invited to take part in the IP-Showcase panel session (“Challenges of implementing ST2110”) which will follow Tony Orme’s presentation (“Understanding IP for Production Teams”). The panel will take place on Monday September 17th between 10.30-11.30.

The VB440 supports uncompressed media flows over IP with both ST2110 and ST2022-6 transports, providing network operators and digital media organisations with an analytics solution for numerous streams and multiple technologies in real-time and in parallel. Instrument View is designed specifically for those in media production who need to have real-time, highly accurate knowledge of the behaviour of networked packets and precise information about the content being carried. ST2059-2, more commonly known as PTP, is also an important part of the VB440’s analytics capability.

“Today, we’re seeing IP becoming mainstream – but there is still much to be determined,” added Frostad. “The industry is rising to the challenges of 4K HDR – but with the Olympics in Japan in 2020, the focus will shift towards 8K. Today, the current industry standard is still 10 Gigabit Ethernet – but 25, 40, 50 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet are rapidly becoming available, with vendors already demonstrating affordable interface speeds of 200 Gigabits and higher. The industry has yet to fully get to grips with IPv6 – and still has much work to do in terms of network security. At IBC, we’ll be talking to visitors about what we can do in each of these areas – and what we’re working on.”

Responding to an increasing industry requirement, Remote PHY implementation is also being shown. Remote PHY - otherwise known as DEPI tunnel analysis - is an approach that takes the PHY chip out of a box and puts it at the end of an IP network. One of the philosophies of Remote PHY is to put the least amount of hardware and software at the endpoint and keep the complexity centralised.

Along with the VB440, Instrument View and the RDW, Bridge Technologies will demonstrate its monitoring and analysis of RF parameters for satellite, terrestrial and cable distribution, redundancy switching for satellite uplinks, IPv6 analysis – as well as much more.
