Bridge Technologies' VB440 debuts multichannel audio generation at IBC 2023

Bridge Technologies has built on the existing signal generation function in the VB440 to enable the generation of up to 64 channels of audio signal. This improvement presented in IBC 2023 allows remote production teams to test the network links of their visual and audio devices without needing to unpack a single piece of equipment.

The newly released generation of multichannel audio from VB440 allows you to generate up to 64 audio channels in any combination of Blits and Glits test signals or static tones, and in any audio format and grouping, up to 7.1 immersive. These audio settings can be set through the device itself. graphical user interface or via NMOS. According to Bridge Technologies, this capacity create groups of different links and test them simultaneously It is “vital for operations that offer multiple audio formats in complex configurations, and that operate in network environments where precision synchronization is required on an ongoing basis.”

With this new addition, the VB440 continues to expand its versatility and becomes the “only ST 2110-based, 100Gig, multi-signal, any resolution, NMOS-controllable high-precision generator on the planet.” Other notable functions of the system are the advanced audio measurement and listening; the vector and full waveform colorimetry (including HDR preview) in a full range of resolutions and compressed and uncompressed formats (including JPEG-XS), or ability to perform a network analysis of the entire IP or SDI encapsulated production environment.
