Sencore has announced the launch of its VB4400 high-density monitoring and analysis platform. Designed for SMPTE ST 2110 and IPMX environments and fully NMOS-certified, the VB4400 is capable of monitoring up to 80Gbps of simultaneous streaming. Providing engineers with the visibility to maintain signal integrity at scale, the solution also features signal generator functionality and lip sync measurements for precise production setup verification, said the company.
Aiming to meet the demands of video delivery, distribution and monitoring across broadcast, IPTV and other markets, Sencore will showcase a broad range of its products at the 2026 NAB Show, including the MRD 8000 receiver decoder. Built on a GPU-accelerated platform in a compact 1RU chassis, the MRD 8000 aims to address today’s multichannel, multiformat needs.
Featuring ultra-low latency encoding and decoding up to 4K/UHD with 12G-SDI, the AFN Platform is designed for live production and news gathering operations. Native SRT support enables simultaneous satellite uplink and IP delivery from its single 1RU chassis.
Available in both 1RU and 4RU chassis, the OmniHub 6/16 hot-swappable video processing platform enables multi-channel encoding, signal reception, digital turnaround and simultaneous IPTV and QAM distribution from a single system. Combined with OmniHub PLAY, a fully managed IPTV experience can be delivered to Sencore’s Android-based set-top box, PLAY STB. Controllable from a single web interface, the solution is designed for commercial and multi-site IPTV deployments requiring reliability and ease of management.
Commenting, Seth VerMulm, Sencore’s director of product management, said, “As server and component costs continue rising, engineers are being asked to do more with tighter budgets. Cost-effective doesn’t mean compromising on capability.The AFN Platform, MRD 8000, and Centra Gateway are designed for broadcast-grade performance without the overhead of costly server infrastructure.”
ATSC 3.0 Transition
The TXS 3800 addresses two critical needs with a new ATSC 3.0 passthrough transcoding mode that increases service capacity to up to 20 services and a new ATSC 1.0 backward compatibility mode that allows engineers to demodulate ATSC 1.0 today and transition to ATSC 3.0 later without a hardware swap.
Completing Sencore’s NAB lineup, the Centra Gateway is an ideal solution to rising server costs. It handles video stream reception, transmission, conversion, and orchestration across multiple protocols and is deployable on-premises or in the cloud.
