Live video over IP company Macnica has developed MEG1 IPMX to HDMI AV over IP ethernet gateway, a 1Gb/s solution that it says provides a direct ramp to IPMX product development for pro-AV and broadcast equipment manufacturers.
The MEG1 supports low-latency, synchronised transport of 4K60 4:4:4 video, audio and data, including KVM and PoE support. It is ideally suited to support lab-based research, development and testing efforts for IP product developers preparing to bring IPMX solutions to market, added the company.
It supports all features required for IP interoperability, including device discovery, USB and serial extension, resilient network performance, JPEG-XS compression, and subframe latency, said Macnica, and can send or receive IPMX compliant video streams at up to 800 Mb/s over a 1Gb connection.
“The MEG1 is a Macnica reference design that we have built into a complete product,” said Andrew Starks, director of product management of Macnica. “The benefit for IPMX product developers is that our design invites experimentation and extension to allow companies to achieve their product visions, and early adopters to integrate the MEG1 into their systems.”
