NEXX - 5RU Frame

Compact Processing Capable Routing Platform

Blurring the line between products, the Evertz NEXX Router, can fit into your solution. This multifaceted compact processing router has the potential to do SDI and IP coupled with mono channel audio shuffling. A modular solution that can conform.

Robust by design, NEXX takes many cues from Evertz' years of industry leading routing platforms. With the NEXX-IO-C1 module providing 32 x 32 HDBNC SDI, bi-directional SFPs for discrete MADI or TDM, frame sync, and four Standard Edition MVs. NEXX-670 brings 4 QSFP ports contributing the best IPG, UDX, and Multiviewer that Evertz has to offer. The NEXX-SCORPION helps normalize all the odds and ends of the system, including Dante. All possible in a compact 5RU module router frame.

Licensable features to buy what you need now and future proof by adapting to your next project. A configuration suited for upgrading the production from SDI to IP, 1080p to single wire 12G, or something in-between. Unlock Frame sync, UHD, Multiviewers, and more as desired. Increase the IO count by adding frames in a non-blocking architecture allowing the NEXX to get to a colossal 960x960 12G-SDI single essence with just a crosspoint upgrade.
