NEXX-SCORPION

Compact Virtualized Media Processing Platform

Interact with this product in a Layout Tool:

Taken from the prestigious SCORPION Frames, and subsequently the 7800 series, the NEXX-SCORPION incorporates the best of the NEXX and the SCORPION. Creating the perfect merger of flexibility and size.

On the NEXX-670 we took one piece of hardware and made it flexible with software. In the NEXX-SCORPION, we did the opposite, taking flexible hardware with our Modular Input Output cards, also known as, MIOs. With this second dimension of versatility, the NEXX-SCORPION has everything you need to make your final product, from normalizing signals, to close caption, PTP generation, and much more. The NEXX-SCORPION will continue to grow to support any of our dual-slot MIO modules, that is 15 different hardware modules and counting.

The NEXX-SCORPION takes one slot in any NEXX frame with no limitation as to which slot or total number of NEXX-SCORPIONs in one NEXX frame. The combinations of MIOs is endless. Take inputs and outputs from anywhere in the frame including the MIOs and/or crosspoint. A SCORPION frame in a NEXX frame.
