MuxLab will debut its SDI over IP 4K uncompressed extender at IBC 2017, with a demo connecting a camera feed to multiple displays.


Numerous sources and displays can connect through this extender to a 10Gig Ethernet switch to support point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations.

A virtual matrix of cameras, mixers, displays and other equipment can be installed and accessed any time, all managed from a central location. For point-to-point extensions, integrators can use multimode fibre to connect a source to its display up to 400 metres in distance, or CAT5/6 up to 30 metres. All scenarios support uncompressed video resolutions up to 4K.

MuxLab will also be showing its 3G-SDI/RS232 over IP Extender (model 500756), which delivers broadcast-quality 3G/HD/SD-SDI video with embedded audio over a LAN. It’s a low-latency solution that can be configured in a variety of ways, the company said, providing an alternative to a dedicated SDI matrix switch, supporting point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations. It’s aimed at providing live video delivery around a facility or running media exchanges between locations.

The company also will show off its 6G-SDI Extender over UTP with Ethernet (model 500733) and the 6G-SDI Extender over Fibre at the show.
