Imagine Communication Introduce more devices Selenio™ Network Processor (SNP) a Kneipp UK, UK division of technology partner for many broadcasters around the world. NEP UK has installed SNPs in four of its largest OB trucks, to provide an automated and seamless supply workflow signali 4K e UHD, HD, Standard (SDR) e HDR (High Dynamic Range).

Kneipp UK Provides facilities for the UK’s top sports broadcasters, which offers more and more UHD copetura As an option for subscribers.

Let’s set and forget about SNPs: they perform well, take up little shelf space, consume less power and provide the full range of HD, UHD, SDR, and HDR outputs we need. “

L ‘SNP It is a software-defined IP and SDI signal processing device. Each rack unit contains four independent processing blocks, each of which can adopt software defined characters. The apps are available on individual licenses, so users can select the exact functionality they need and reconfigure their SNPs according to business needs, making them particularly suitable for outdoor broadcast work. NEP UK has ordered a mix of licenses for signal format conversion including HD, 3G e 4K, as well as converting the dynamic range between S.DR, HLG, PQ e Slog3.

“SNP is an incredibly scalable platform, with new features that keep adding”, has announced Matthias Eckertand SVP, GM EMEA, and APAC for Imagine Communications. “Because it is so compact and flexible, it is ideal for outdoor broadcast operators like NEP, who need to be able to reconfigure their OB trucks on site, day in and day out, as they move between various sports and entertainment productions. In the long term, Software-based SNP design ensures rapid adoption of future requirements, such as 8K video.
