The new .edge’s compact 2RU housing accommodates up to four 25/100 GbE .edge processing blades and rear I/O plates with best-in-class signal conversion density.
«.edge complements Lawo’s established V__matrix video processing and multiviewer solution with a hyper-density SDI/IP gateway, – explained Phil Myers, Lawo’s CTO. – It’s designed from the ground up to be a HOME-native client. It is automatically discovered and registered within our HOME network environment and benefits from all of HOME’s next-generation management features: user access control, quarantining of unknown devices, network security, parameter tweaking and real-time health monitoring».
Each rear I/O blade provides 48 HD-BNC connectors for SD/HD/3G/UHD SDI interfacing, resulting in 192 SDI/IP conversions per 2RU.
.edge provides full support for the SMPTE ST2110 suite of standards with ST2022-7 redundancy built in, providing not only advanced essence-based handling but also ensuring seamless protection switching of audio, video and ancillary data streams in both local and wide-area network operations.
