The 3606FRS allows for simultaneous dark fibre and IP transport for multiple signal formats including video, audio, and serial data. The 3606FRS provides flexible routing between inputs and outputs with support of IP encapsulation and decapsulation to and from 10GbE and 25GbE (future) transport networks. This compact solution, based on the revolutionary 3606 Multi-Service Gateway, features a small lightweight form-factor with fanless operation. It is ideal for portable or low noise environments and is suitable for live sports and mobile applications. Evertz will also be showcasing the evRemote which enables remote production capabilities to a broader range of venues, rental spaces, and trucks/OB. The evRemote features multiservice signal interfaces (video, audio, data, intercom), integrated multiviewer, 120Gbps switching capability and up to 12 x JPEG2000 encode/decode channels which enables major cost savings by reducing footprint, setup time, staffing and travel costs and power consumption by leveraging lower cost Ethernet links within a single 2RU platform.
Also, the latest EvertzAV innovations will be featured at IBC including the MMA10G-TRS4K-2 standalone HDMI 4K/60 4:4:4 network based transceiver, which supports bi-directional transport of 4K content up to 4096x2160p @ 60fps 4:4:4 color sub-sampling. The MMA10G-TRS4K is the latest 4K product to join the MMA-10G network-based AV distribution family.
The TRS4K standalone gateway has two 4K/60 HDMI inputs and outputs, plus a compliment of analog audio and USB interfaces allowing it to transmit and receive two 4K images at the highest visual quality and lowest latency all over a single 10GbE network connection.
