rnNew Device Based on AJA Io IP Technology Streamlines Professional I/O with Avid Media Composer for IP Workflows.
AJA Video Systems has announced that it has collaborated with Avid to develop Avid Artist | DNxIP, a new hardware interface option for Avid Media Composer users that reportedly supports high frame rate, deep colour and high dynamic range IP workflows. Avid Artist | DNxIP is a Thunderbolt 3 equipped I/O device that enables the transfer of SMPTE standard HD video over 10 GigE IP networks, with local monitoring over 3G-SDI and HDMI 2.0.
Based on the new Io IP, Avid Artist | DNxIP is custom engineered to Avids specifications, and includes an XLR audio input on the front of the device for microphone or line level sources. Avid Artist | DNxIP leverages the power of Thunderbolt 3 to facilitate HD/SD video and audio ingest/output from/to IP networks. It features dual Thunderbolt 3 ports for daisy chaining, and two SFP+ cages for video and audio routing over 10 GigE IP networks. The portable, aluminum encased device also supports SMPTE 2022-6 uncompressed video, audio and VANC data over IP, as well as SMPTE 2022-7 for redundancy protection.
The increased agility and efficiency of IP workflows is a must have for content creators and broadcasters in todays competitive climate, said Alan Hoff, VP of Market Solutions for Avid. Weve collaborated with AJA on the newest addition to our Avid Artist product line, Avid Artist DNxIP, which offers broadcasters and post-production facilities a portable yet powerful video interface for IP workflows.
