arkona/manifold demonstrating a future-proof, cutting-edge path to IP
arkona technologies and manifold technologies will be showing attendees at BroadcastAsia 2025 how to achieve a simpler, economical and future-proof path to IP.
The companies, technology partners and providers of cutting-edge IP core infrastructure solutions, will be present at booth 5D1-1 alongside Magna Systems, where they will present EASY-IP, a platform that combines arkona’s BLADE//runner with Manifold’s CLOUD for best-of-breed audio/video routing, processing, and multi-viewing tools.
EASY-IP integrates into existing facilities via common industry-standard control protocols, allowing the transition to a more flexible and future-proof IP infrastructure. The platform offers broadcast quality up/down/cross conversions, and JPEG-XS encode/decode for low-latency high-quality video compression.
An extensive range of additional processing capabilities are available as pooled resources with options that include video mixing and downstream keying to create versioning and branding, as well as proc-amp, colour correction and high dynamic range (HDR)-standard dynamic range (SDR) conversion for shading and colour-space conversion.
BLADE//runner operates on arkona’s Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)- based programmable acceleration cards (PACs), enabling real-time instantiation, control, and monitoring of processing functions.
EASY-IP also incorporates manifold CLOUD, the high density, ultra-low-latency multiviewer, into the bundle. manifold CLOUD handles demanding live sports, entertainment and news productions while simultaneously providing benefits of scalability, resiliency, quick deployment and unified control.
Erling Hedkvist, Business Development Manager for the two companies, said, “Asia is a key region for both arkona and manifold with numerous installations and several projects on the horizon.
“We are delighted to show our support for the market and for Magna, our trusted partner, with our presence … and we will be available to demonstrate the benefits of EASY-IP.”
Matthew Clemesha, Group CEO, Magna Systems, added, “We are delighted to have arkona technologies and manifold technologies demonstrating their unique EASY-IP solution on our stand at BroadcastAsia.
“Our partnership with arkona and manifold continues to strengthen and grow as does the popularity of their products and solutions in the Asia-Pacific region.”
Make time for a closer look at the EASY-IP solution at BroadcastAsia 2025, which is taking place from May 27 – 29 at the Singapore Expo.
