Want to cut costs while getting better performance? And use one company’s encoder with another company’s fiber card in the same frame? No problem. Your facility, your choices.
On this webinar, you’ll find out how video facilities like yours are mixing and matching the best signal processing gear from openGear manufacturers for specific use cases like live air chains where reliability and latency are big concerns, C-Band going away and what to do about it, hybrid SDI-IP setup for multi-camera cinematic workflows, IP encoding for remote contribution or multi-site applications, and timing reference generation.
You’ll hear from industry leaders AJA, Apantac, Cobalt, MultiDyne, Ross Video, and VITEC as they show you how openGear lets you pick the right tools – regardless of who makes them – from the broadest modular processing platform in the industry.
