/in /by

The new MAGIC Server by AVT expands their telephone hybrid portfolio with a scalable, software-based telephone hybrid & audio codec server.

AVT_MAGICServer_ software-solution_Dashboard_TEVIOS

With MAGIC Server, MAGIC telephone hybrids and audio codecs are available as a centralized, scalable software solution. As AVT explains: “The integration supports all functionalities of the hardware system and integrates MAGIC Collaboration Services for MS Teams and WebRTC connectivity which were introduced at IBC 2022.”

In addition to the MAGIC Server Software, just a regular server or VM is required.

Two versions of MAGIC Server will be available:

MAGIC Server Basic

  • 1-8 VoIP telephone channels
  • 1-8 web operating clients
  • 1-2 studios

Integrate two stereo Audio Codecs and Collaboration Services such as WebRTC or MS Teams for high-quality audio and video transmissions. This makes two lines OPUS-, PCM-, WebRTC– and MS Teams-capable.

MAGIC Server Professional

  • 8 to 96 VoIP telephone hybrid channels
  • 24 studios with 48 application-specific web control clients
  • 48 recording booths (News Desks) for telephone interviews
  • 6 Intercom groups for communication with correspondents or remote stations

Use up to 24 channels for high-quality stereo audio transmissions (OPUS, PCM), and add 48 audio or 24 audio/video WebRTC / MS Teams collaboration services.

In other words, MAGIC Server Professional makes it easy to expand the system whenever necessary.

Witness this scalable telephone hybrid & audio codec software solution firsthand at IBC 2023, stand 8.F76.

Introducing NVRT Vendor Agnostic Enterprise Software Suite by Providius

/in /by

The Providius Network Visualization & Realtime Telemetry Dashboard (NVRT) is a vendor agnostic enterprise software suite that provides full network and media visibility across an all-IP, or hybrid IP-SDI, LAN/WAN broadcast infrastructure.

NVRT combines network telemetry and deep media packet inspection on a single display, allowing users to:

  • Discover what’s connected/disconnected from the network in realtime
  • Trace a media / PTP flow across the network
  • Confirm media flows are accurately routed on the switch
  • Track bandwidth utilization and flow metrics
  • Represent network routes as an XY matrix
  • Confirm PTP is locked where expected
  • Differentiate between a stream issue and a networking issue

Providius_NVRT_PTP_TEVIOS

Based on Linux, this software-defined networking solution incorporates a powerful and robust database in order to document and rapidly search any aspect of the operation. The system automatically interrogates live and dormant path connections, creating the most intuitive and data-rich presentation layers of a COTS-hybrid infrastructure.

Features and Benefits

  • Lightweight software for VM / bare-metal with multi-client seat dashboards
  • Auto Discovery of network assets & auto-mapping topology in realtime
  • Frequently used with Cisco, Arista, Netgear* and Aruba* networks

TAG Announces Support for NDI 5 & SRT

/in /by

TAG Video Systems recently added support for NDI 5, the latest version of Network Device Interface, and SRT, Secure Reliable Transport. These two protocols increase connectivity and signal transport options while opening the door to further collaboration and creativity!

NDI 5

Network Device Interface (NDI) is a realtime low latency IP video network technology that allows users to build IP-based video networks and benefit from uncompressed video IP networks. With NDI 5, connect to a wide range of NDI sources such as cameras, switchers, PCs, phones, and video conferencing applications (i.e. Skype). Also capture the output from PCs in order to add websites, PC UIs and video conference participants as tiles on a TAG mosaic. Additionally, enable NDI as an output format. This creates an inexpensive, low-latency and high-quality connection to display devices.

SRT

Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) is an open-source transport protocol. It allows for robust transmission of high-quality high-bandwidth video signals over public internet, unmanaged networks, and WANs without loss or impairments. SRT assures transport of signals across networks with no loss of quality and minimal latency while providing encryption, protecting content during transit. Thanks to SRT support, acquire signals from distant viewers such as remote workers. SRT is often used in cloud workflows and ground to cloud/cloud to ground links to build live linear cloud workflows.

Finally, when current TAG customers upgrade to the latest version of TAG software, they can enable NDI and SRT at no additional cost.

Contact us for more information about TAG’s support for NDI and SRT!
