Ikegami once again bets on the IPX-100 mini base station for IBC 2025

The IPX-100 mini base station Ikegami, which can be discovered in detail in IBC 2025 (September 12 – 15), integrates SDI and IP technologies to offer the necessary flexibility of the new hybrid contexts of broadcasters.

The station IPX-100 combines the main features of the base station BSX-100 with IP technology, allowing the system to serve as a bridge between SDI and IP production infrastructures. At just 2U tall and half the width of a 19-inch rack, the IPX-100 is a third smaller than BSX-100, allowing it to be integrated into mobile units, REMI control rooms or studios located in city centers, among other environments.

a camera The only one can power an IPX-100 over conventional SMPTE hybrid fiber cable up to 3.5 km. Its built-in test signal generator allows you to configure the system before connecting a camera or other SDI source, while the system also includes support for auxiliary data to and from the camera, as well as an HD-SDI video monitoring output allows direct connection of a field monitor to the IPX-100. Additionally, the front panel of the IPX-100 provides access to the control menu. This includes LED indicators that show the current status of the unit, as well as a call button and a red/yellow status indicator.

Connecting an Ikegami panel OCP-300 u OCP-500 a via Ethernet to the IPX-100 allows you to easily control the zoom and focus of a remote camera, even if an IP connection to the infrastructure has not yet been established ST 2110 wider. A personal computer with the Google Chrome web browser can be connected simultaneously to the network hub, allowing system monitoring through the service Ikegami XE Web View provided by an optional protocol gateway. Automated configuration can be performed using an IS-04/IS-05 NMOS feed from the IPX-100 to a local or remote central automation system.

Additionally, you can access the license key options via the USB connector at the time of purchase or add them later. The IPXOP-130 option includes one 12G QTV/trunk video channel; The IPXOP-131 option provides support for JPEG-XS compression (SMPTE ST2110-22 compliant), allowing signal transmission bandwidth to be tailored to the available IT infrastructure bandwidth; IPXOP-132 option allows upscaling from 1080p HD to 2160p UHD; The IPXOP-133 option provides simultaneous HD output including 3D LUTs, supporting 33 x 33 x 33 or 65 x 65 x 65 cubic files, and the IPXOP-134 option allows the IPX-100 to perform SDI to IP and IP to SDI conversions.

There are three versions of the IPX-100 available: IPX-100H for HDK-X500 cameras and the latest Unicam HD cameras; IPX-100U for Unicam -XE 4K/UHD cameras, and IPX-100M for Unicam-HD and Unicam-XE models.
