1. Introduction to Neuron
Neuron is EVS’s first pure-IP processor used in AV infrastructures. With its introduction, we continue to
forge ahead with the delivery of innovative solutions for the new broadcast reality of IP-based
infrastructures.
Built to fit in any existing and future IP broadcast infrastructure, the Neuron platform offers the most
powerful processing capabilities in the industry. With its ethernet-based architecture, Neuron can
accommodate a wide range of audio-video processing needs in IP environments: frame synchronization,
up/down conversion, color correction, HDR conversion, audio (de)embedding and audio shuffling. It also
bridges the gap between baseband SDI and any type of IP media streams, protecting your investments
today for future demands.
Neuron will solve all hurdles which a broadcaster encounters with respect to audio and video in the IP
and legacy domains. The high-density 1RU Neuron platform offers IP to IP processing capabilities,
handling uncompressed SD, HD, 3G and UHD signals based on the ST2022-6 and ST2110 specifications
for transporting media over IP networks. Neuron is fully packed with features like edge synchronizers
and converters for processing streams before they enter the core router, reducing complexity in signal
routing. Neuron is a so-called NAP, a Network Attached Processor.
As a next-gen, FPGA-based processor, the NAP seamlessly bridges SDI and IP networks, while easily
meeting UHD requirements in live production. It interoperates with EVS’s Cerebrum/Cortex monitoring
and control system.
The NAP, which is ultra-compact and versatile, is ideal for media companies looking to reduce costs and
complexity associated with supporting SDI and hybrid SDI-IP workflows in their studio and mobile
facilities, while optimizing the agility and efficiency of their IP-based environments.
