Sencore announces the addition of a new 12G-SDI encoder input option to the Sencore AFN platform. This enhancement underscores Sencore’s ongoing commitment to advancing the AFN platform and delivering quality technology for professional video contribution and remote production applications.

Sencore has focused on enhancing the AFN platform’s capabilities to better serve customers and meet the demands of modern broadcast workflows. With the integration of 12G-SDI input, the AFN platform now offers even greater flexibility, allowing users to choose from 12G-SDI, 4x3G, 3G, HD, and SD-SDI in a single hardware option. “This is perfect for applications that require high-quality, low-latency video encoding and decoding across diverse contribution, news gathering, and remote production scenarios,” says Aaron Doughten, Director of Technology.

The Sencore AFN platform is designed with a modular architecture, offering a range of configuration options to meet the needs of any broadcast or media workflow. Supporting up to 4K UHD resolution at 4:2:2 10-bit, the AFN ensures video quality with compatibility across HEVC, H.264, and MPEG2 video codecs. This expanded versatility enables users to deliver high-quality video content seamlessly, with the added benefits of contribution-level encoding and decoding, ASI, IP, SRT I/O, and multiplexing—all in one platform.
