AXON’s Neuron Ethernet AVB awarded at NAB2014

AXON, a broadcast infrastructure, monitoring and control company, received two industry awards during NAB for Neuron, a combination of hardware and software, and an Ethernet application.

The IABM Game Changer award honours products, processes, systems, services or developments with the potential to transform how the broadcast and media industry operates. This award recognises Neuron for its innovative design and integration of AVB technology – an open standard based on IEEE802.1.

It was also given the NewBay Media’s Best of Show Award.

The AVB-enabled video product will help change the way live production infrastructures are created, providing point-to-point connectivity, and in a switched network environment for a much less costly alternative to CWDM (Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing).

While Neuron is built upon the open AVB standard, key additional functionality is built into the system, as it is part of AXON’s Synapse family. Full integration with AXON’s Synapse interfacing and conversion and Cerebrum advanced management solutions provides flexibility, modularity and control. Standalone Neuron boxes allow direct and cost-effective integration of cameras, screens, stage boxes and desktop I/O. Neuron is a fully networkable, extremely low latency infrastructure that supports varied production and real-time applications by replacing the conventional SDI router matrix and adding complete managed networking functionality.

“We are proud to have won these prestigious awards,” said Jan Eveleens, CEO of AXON. “We’re pleased that Neuron has been recognized as a product that will help change the way broadcasters create and manage their live production infrastructures in the future.”
