Flexible Media Edge
SCORPION is the next generation flexible media edge hardware platform from Evertz. The platform leverages innovation in broadcast technology developed, manufactured, and deployed by Evertz over the past 20 years consolidated in a more integrated form factor to address the problems in the broadcast ecosystems of today. This is accomplished using a scalable chassis offering, broad catalog of processing and discrete IO modules (MIOs), all tied together using built in SDI and IP matrices to create highly flexible and customizable solutions. These tools are designed to address the challenges in broadcast media contribution, production, and primary distribution application spaces.
Platform Features
As production and technologies rapidly change, the ability to be flexible at the edge offers broadcasters a way to reduce friction and to adapt to new requirements. The SCORPION platform uses standards-based technology to facilitate moving and processing signals in SDI, fiber, and IP based networks. A broad catalog of video, audio, and data formats supported in a platform that can ingest, process, and normalize signals then leverage uncompressed standards or video compression codecs to move them within production or across transport networks.
Scalable Chassis
SCORPION is a scalable platform, providing several options depending on the quantity of signals, type of connectivity, and environment they need to operate within. Chassis ranging from high density, to medium density low noise/silent, to throwdown media extenders are available in the SCORPION platform.
The SCORPION-6 Media Processing Platform is a silent standalone form factor enabling the aggregation, transport and processing of video, audio and data signals. Using SCORPION MIO modules, the SCORPION-6 is highly flexible and can be connected into fiber, baseband or IP networks ranging from 1-25GbE.
When deployed as a flexible IP edge device, the SCORPION-6 becomes part of an integrated, scalable transport network, enabling the sharing of content from different sites using different transport media.
The SCORPION-6 has a small fanless form factor, and is designed to be operated in portable and/or low noise environments.
Applications:
• Remote production/media transport
• Camera control unit (CCU)
• Post production endpoint
• IP network edge device
• Multiviewer HDMI endpoint
