Matrox Video debuts the ST 2110 VERO signal generator

Enables broadcasters, system integrators and manufacturers to validate ST 2110 peripheral devices for SMPTE ST 2110 network infrastructures.

Matrox Video lanza VERO, and signal generator and ST 2110 diagnostic device for network environments SMPTE ST 2110. Combining an adjustable signal generator, a PCAP recorder and signal diagnostics that integrate the EBU LIST In a single device, VERO enables transmitters, system integrators, and manufacturers of ST 2110 devices and environments to validate the compliance of ST 2110 devices before deployment.

An SMPTE ST 2110 network environment must offer all the benefits of an IP infrastructure, with the predictability of SDI, to be useful. This is possible when the infrastructure is well managed and the latest generation devices meet specifications.

Matrox VERO guarantees that any new device will work seamlessly with other ST 2110 devices and maintain streaming operations when connected to an on-air production environment. Plus, when a problem inevitably arises, the Matrox VERO can help diagnose the source of the problem.

Willem Vermost, design and engineering manager at Flemish broadcaster VRT, highlights that “as we move towards ST 2110 broadcast environments, we need a tool that we can rely on as a gold standard for ST 2110. Matrox VERO allows us to verify that the ST 2110 equipment we are installing in our environment meets the ST 2110 specifications. When we encounter a problem, it allows us to easily analyze the problems because it has the EBU list loaded into the box.”

"Our participation in JT-NM has also allowed us to understand the technical aspects required by broadcasters and manufacturers to certify internal devices. As a result, with Matrox VERO, we offer a simple, effective and accurate signal generator and diagnostic tool for reliable interoperability testing, and long-term investment, of ST 2110 equipment and technologies," he concludes.
