Nevion Virtuoso is a revolutionary software-defined media platform, offering wide-ranging functionality for live production, contribution and professional media transport applications. Its versatility enables a faster time-to-production and greater cost-effectiveness. Virtuoso’s functionality is virtualized, and delivered by software modules, known as Media Functions – all designed to perform with ultra-low latency. These licensed-controlled functions can be installed, activated and changed on demand – meaning there is no need to switch equipment when a change of functionality is required. Most of the media functions run on generic Media accelerator cards, which are housed in a Media Node Appliance. Accelerator cards provide the required processing resources for media functions ranging from video encoding to advanced audio video processing. Nevion Virtuoso can perform a large variety of software-based media functions, including but not limited to: - SDI, SMPTE 2022-6 and SMPTE 2110 processing and adaptation - IP audio adaptation, embedding/de-embedding, processing and mixing (MADI, AES3, ST2110, AES67) - Visually lossless video encoding and decoding with JPEG XS, JPEG 2000 and TICO - Video processing including Up/Down/Cross conversion, Frame Sync and HDR/SDR conversion - Support for SD, HD, 3G and 12G/UHD broadcast formats, 2K and 4K film/cinema formats, slow-motion and high frame rate - Advanced transport protection, including FEC, SMPTE 2022-7 seamless switching and LDO (launch delay offset) - ASI and Transport Stream over IP adaptation, with built-in advanced TS monitoring - Extensive input signal monitoring with option for alarm-based redundancy switching And much more
