Evertz HighlightsIts Powerful NEXX Processing/RouterSolutionat NAB 2024

At NAB 2024 (Booth SU2027), Evertz will be showing itsNEXXnext generation processing and routing solution, a compact and robust product that provides broadcastfacilities, OB trucks, venues and stadia with the building blocksfor3G/12G-SDI, with a transition to IP whenrequired.NEXX gives broadcast facilities access to UHD (4K)and HDRtechnologyand isready to adapt to the ever-changing needs and requirements in broadcastmedia. By supportingSD/HD/3G/6G/12G data rates,thisfully passive solutionalsoprovides a clear pathway to future IP expansion, allowing customers toeffortlesslytransition toSMPTE ST2110 andadopt more cloud services as part of their workflow.“Flexibility is key to the success of NEXX, and the reason why it is proving popular with so many broadcastfacilities and OB trucks around the world,” saysJoshua Vanarnhem,Evertz Product Manager for Routers.“With its additional processing capabilities, uncompromised mono audio routing, more than one multivieweroption and ability to handle SDI and IP, thismultifaceted router is incredibly versatile and can be tailoredto suit every broadcaster’s needs.”Based around a compact modular frame with a main interface/backplane,theNEXXprocessing and routingplatform is nowavailable as 5RU(384×384) and 3RU (96×96)options. All NEXX products offer fullyredundant control andhot swappablecomponents, fans and I/O modules. NEXX also offers native full audioshufflingbetweenembedded audio, MADI and TDM (foranalog, AES, and Dante),and an integrated,penalty-free,software-enabled multiviewer with over40 pre-configured layouts.TheNEXX-670FPGA-accelerated moduleexpands processing options for NEXX and allows users tochoosethe functionality they want byapplyingdifferentsoftware-basedapps.Based onEvertz’ popular ev670platform, NEXX-670 is ideally suited to facilities that want to transition to IP with gateways or requireadditional advance bulk processing (up,down,cross conversion withvideo processingandaudio DSP),and/or a fully featuredmultiviewer withcomprehensivemonitoring.This powerful hybrid solution is entirelyseamless; users don’t need to know whether the source is IP and the destination SDI, or vice versa, becauseNEXX simply completes the task regardless of signal type.Comingin 2024, theNEXX-SCORPIONmodule takes advantage of Evertz’ SCORPIONminiatureI/O (MIO)modules. The additional support for these SCORPION MIO modules expands the NEXX I/O to interfacesbeyondSDIand Ethernet to include Dante,HDMI, and more natively.TheMIO-BLADE provide more granularflexibility byhaving different functionalitiesthatprocess the signals withcompression,up,down,crossconversion, and more.
