Virtuoso (Nevion) ​​adds an audio interface and new conversion functions

Virtuoso's signal processing capabilities Nevion, company part of Sony, have been expanded with the addition of additional up/down/cross conversion functionality, as well as a new audio interface.

Nevion Virtuoso, key component of the offer Networked Live of Sony, expands its capabilities signal transport, processing and monitoring in real time. It does so with two new features aimed at environments such as external coverage or centralized processing infrastructure (glue) for studio operations or control rooms.

Virtuoso already offered audio, as a two-way audio interface AES3, MADI y SMPTE ST 2110 / AES67 IP, or processing functions such as monitoring, routing, keying, mixing, random playback, and per-channel control of polarity, gain, and delay.
