Introduction
Selenio™ Network Processor (SNP) is the industry’s first pure
-IP media processing platform supporting
uncompressed UHD over SMPTE ST 2110 specification for transporting media over IP networks. The
high-density, scalable platform enables media companies to seamlessly transition from SDI to all-IP
networks adhering to ST 2022-6 and ST 2110 standards.
Built upon field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology, along with dual 100-Gigabit data
connections, the SNP offers flexible capabilities required in today
’s complex production environments,
including audio processing, HD/3G/UHD up/down/cross conversion, color space adjustments and High
Dynamic Range (HDR) adaptations and conversions. It provides critical signal synchronization,
supporting different signal types and formats in video production environment, interoperating with
many standard-based equipment and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) IP switchers, providing media
companies with the greatest flexibility to work with a variety of technology suppliers. SNP interoperates
with Imagine’s other UHD
- and IP-
ready solutions, including the Versio™ cloud
-native integrated playout
platform and EPIC™ MV monitoring and control system, for a seamless end
-to-end production workflow.
