MAGNUM

SDVN (Software Defined Video Networking)

MAGNUM powers Evertz' Software Defined Video Networking (SDVN). As the industry migrates towards an IP-centric facility, MAGNUM allows content providers to seamlessly transition from SDI to IP without compromise. As the SDVN orchestration and control, MAGNUM leverages Evertz 10/100GE high capacity switch fabrics, media IP gateways, and Evertz traditional SDI products such as EQX 3G/HD/SD-SDI routers. Evertz' SDVN offers broadcasters, content distributors and service providers a flexible, format agnostic and scalable infrastructure for SD, HD, 3G, and Ultra HD (4K and 8K) video.

Routing Core

• Unifies control / interfacing to all Evertz and 3rd party routers
• Central location for controlling Evertz routing products (EQX & IPX), 3rd party routers and router control systems
• Configure and manage systems ranging from single router systems (with 10s of sources / destinations) to large enterprise sized systems (with 1000s of sources / destinations, that utilizes tie-lines)

Multiviewer

• Unifies control and interfacing to Evertz multiviewers
• Central location for controlling Evertz multiviewer products (MVP, MVIP & VIP)
• Configure and manage various setup & monitoring parameters from a central web interface
• Update specific multiviewer mnemonics using the Name Application
• Use web based Multiviewer Design Tool to create multiviewer layouts
• Provides central storage and recall of the saved layouts

Master Control & Branding

• Provides centralized management of multiple channel playout for dynamic control and automatic mnemonics

Transport

• Simplifying the management and routing of IP/optical based resources within the familiar source and destination baseband architecture
• Enables control for Evertz IP based devices such as Encoders, Decoders, IPX, and IPGs
• Provision, schedule, and manage network and optical bandwidth & pathfinding for Evertz transport

Infrastructure

• Intelligent Signal Path finding by dynamically reconfiguring in-line Evertz conversion & processing devices
• Automatic provisioning and configuration of scarce resources thereby minimizing equipment overhead and management requirements
• Using up convert, down convert, and cross-convert devices, MAGNUM's Intelligent Signal Pathing engine dynamically re-purposes the devices based on the conversion requirements of the operator. For example simplifying the conversion process from an incoming SD signal to a HD destination

Schedule

• Schedule Events with specific start and/or end times
• Multiple tasks per Events
• Tasks including scheduling routes and other resources under MAGNUM
• Recurring events
• Per-destination timeline view
• Agenda view (i.e. List view)
• Show/hide historic events

Tally

• Unifies configuration and management of the tally state and status from discrete devices
• Central location for configuring tally setups for interfacing to switchers, discrete GPIOs, multiviewers, routers, & IMD devices
• Create, save and recall various tally configurations for an event
• Centrally manages and interfaces to Evertz routers and multiviewers
• Reduces configuration time of systems

Reflex

• Automate tasks with sensors, triggers and actions
• Web based User friendly interface
• Easier to manage custom workflows with enable/disable settings
• Supports various sensors and actions both Evertz and third party for ex vGPI, SNMP alarm, route update etc.
• Built in documentation and sample reflexes for common workflows

Control Panels

• Offers dynamic multi-system control to simple button per source panel types
• Variety of choices for router control and interfacing using advanced multi-system panels, LCD re-legendable, or simple button per source interfaces
• Centralized layout management & control
