Technology partners, arkona and manifold technologies will demonstrate the IP core infrastructure solutions and multiviewers being embraced by some of the most visionary and high-profile names in broadcast, live production and entertainment at IBC2025. The two companies will showcase how their technology is transforming real life workflows in OB trucks, production control rooms, studios and esports facilities.
At IBC, arkona and manifold will demonstrate arkona’s BLADE//runner AT300 platform that delivers audio and video gatewaying, routing, and signal processing, together with manifold CLOUD, an ultra-low latency multiviewer and media infrastructure platform. These solutions, being deployed globally, are driven by award-winning EASY-IP, a jointly designed platform offering a fast, and cost-effective path to IP adoption.
“We are thrilled to share how our technology is actively shaping the future of live production,” said Erling Hedkvist, business development for both arkona and manifold. “With adoption by global leaders in sports, entertainment, and esports, our solutions are proving their value across a wide range of real-world deployments.”
At IBC 2025, arkona will highlight enhancements to BLADE//runner which include its award-winning IP Audio (IPA) app, a dedicated audio mixer that enables native integration with MakeProX, Behringer and other control surfaces utilising the HUI MIDI communications protocol. This integration enables seamless control of DSP and mixing functions for simplified workflows via an intuitive hardware interface.
A new JXS16 app for the BLADE//runner AT300 platform expands capabilities to deliver 16 channels of JPEG-XS encoding or decoding in a variety of configurations, including 16x Encode, 16x Decode, or 8x Encode + 8x Decode. Support extends to UHD, 3G, and HD for a max of 16 UHD per AT300. The highest-density JPEG-XS UHD codec solution on the market, the app can scale up to 128 x UHD channels in just 3RU.
manifold will present the European market with new features for manifold CLOUD aimed at expanding its tool set and adding support for arkona’s AT300 programmable acceleration card, resulting in native SDI support as well as IP. Other features to be highlighted include manifold UDX for broadcast quality up/down/cross-conversion of UHD, 3G and HD video.
Sharing the spotlight is EASY-IP, a platform designed to provide a simple but future-proof drop-in replacement for broadcasters wanting to upgrade or expand their existing SDI infrastructure. EASY-IP now offers new hard panel control surfaces that provide users with direct control of routing and processing. These panels are available as an integrated offering with any EASY-IP solution.
