NEXX Router: Redefining SDI with Modular Flexibility
Reliability, flexibility, and compactness are key to next-generation SDI routers. Evertz SDI routers have been just that for decades and the NEXX is no exception. We pride ourselves on pushing the boundaries of what is possible. The NEXX router is the largest and most compact 12G Single Essence SDI router in the world, without any compression, gearboxing, or quad essence.
Demystifying the NEXX platform starts with a modular design which expands the router to be more than just a router, with advanced processing capabilities including built-in multiviewers, frame synchronization, SMPTE ST 2110 I/O, and up/down/cross conversion. If that isn't enough, we took it a step further with our miniature I/O (MIO) from the SCORPION platform to support interfaces that include Dante, HDMI, and so much more.
Building your foundation with NEXX allows you to support your needs for today's and future workflows with various types of interfaces, standards, and modules.
-
Flexible Control
With MAGNUM-OS, users have an industry-awarding control system that supports traditional control panel or advanced VUE interfaces.
-
Reliable
Several resilient features including passive frame, redundant power, hot swappable components, quick boot time, shelf spare crosspoint, data recovery, and warm spare crosspoint.
-
Simple
NEXX is simple to set up, configure, and maintain with MAGNUM-OS. A NEXX system can be routing signals in minutes. Advanced processing features are accessed by user friendly web GUIs.
-
Evolve
NEXX is a flexible and future proof platform. Add processing capabilities with licenses and modules when needed. Seamlessly transition to 12G-SDI with HDR or SMPTE ST 2110 when ready.
-
Compact
The most compact SDI Router in the industry. All processing and normalization done directly in the router reducing equipment rack space use for external modules providing long-term green savings.
-
Secure
With SDI and MAGNUM-OS, NEXX protects your facility from unauthorized intrusions. Switch video, audio, and metadata securely within your facility.

Case Studies
Thunder City Pro
Thunder City Pro was commissioned to build a Mobile Production Unit for Florida Atlantic University to capture live content from student games for broadcast on the ESPN+ OTT subscription video streaming service. Thunder City Pro chose the DreamCatcher™ DC-ONE, NEXX Processing and Routing Platform, and 5700MSC-IP Grand Master Clock. Ideal solutions for a project where space was at a premium.
