AJA BRIDGE LIVE 3G-8 Multi-Channel SDI/IP Streaming Solutions

Description

AJA BRIDGE LIVE 3G-8 Low Latency Turnkey Systems with 1 RU Appliance + 8 Bi-directional 3G-SDI connectors

The BRIDGE LIVE family are the broadcast quality, low latency turnkey systems for REMI, Synchronous Multi-Channel Video Contribution, Remote Collaboration, Direct to Audience Streaming, and Multi-Bitrate/Multi-Format Delivery via a wide range of IP video standards and/or SDI. New to the BRIDGE LIVE family is the AJA BRIDGE LIVE 3G-8 is a high-density HD version of BRIDGE LIVE, which supports up to 8x bi-directional 3G-SDI I/O.

BRIDGE LIVE and BRIDGE LIVE 3G-8 were developed as a collaboration between AJA and Comprimato to deliver the performance, reliability, and ease of use necessary for critical live encode, decode, or transcode needs. Equipped with either 12G-SDI I/O or 3G-SDI I/O with the power and flexibility to enable real time, bidirectional encoding, decoding, and transcoding for critical UltraHD or HD workflows, BRIDGE LIVE is an essential part of any modern video production toolkit. A compact and robust 1RU form factor, with redundant power supplies, and a three-year warranty, means peace of mind even when dealing with the most demanding applications.

Whether facilitating remote production, interviews, live event streaming, synchronous multi-camera backhaul with HDR, cloud contribution, program return, confidence monitoring, collaborative production, or ABR ladder profiles to hand off for OTT packaging, BRIDGE LIVE ensures simultaneous, secure, and reliable workflows over purpose built dedicated lines or the public internet.

BRIDGE LIVE FAMILY I/O Overview

The BRIDGE LIVE family of products, BRIDGE LIVE and BRIDGE LIVE 3G-8, support the most widely used IP video compression schemes and transport protocols to solve your workflow needs. The BRIDGE LIVE family supports conversion to/from SDI to numerous IP video solutions and well as pure IP conversion and distribution workflows.

NDI Encode/Decode/Transcode

BRIDGE LIVE includes support for NDI (Network Device Interface), the high quality, real time, low latency IP video standard developed by NewTek. BRIDGE LIVE can support up to 8x simultaneous 60p HD NDI encodes/decodes or 1x 30p UltraHD NDI encode/decode to/from SDI (BRIDGE LIVE model dependent). BRIDGE LIVE’s NDI functionality offers:

SDI to NDI (encode)
NDI to SDI (decode)
IP Video Streams to NDI (transcode)
NDI to IP Video Streams (transcode)
Multiple Discovery Servers

Used in conjunction with BRIDGE LIVE’s broad codec and protocol support, collaboration between geographically separated (remote) NDI facilities can be realized.

BRIDGE LIVE provides broad NDI compatibility with 3rd party NDI software and hardware transmitters and receivers.

Synchronous Multi-Channel Transport

BRIDGE LIVE and BRIDGE LIVE 3G-8 support independent SDI source inputs and maintains their synchronous relationship while transporting the content to end-point destinations.

This functionality can take place between a pair of BRIDGE LIVE units for a synchronous end-to-end SDI workflow, often referred to as SDI backhaul, or site-to-site SDI workflows.

BRIDGE LIVE’s synchronous multi-channel capability is also supported for cloud contribution, whereby a BRIDGE LIVE system can send signals to a Comprimato Live Transcoder cloud instance, thereby ensuring multi-source synchronicity for delivery to various CDNs, platforms, and cloud services as IP video.

Furthermore, Synchronous Multi-Channel Transport can be scaled up from a single BRIDGE LIVE pair to additional BRIDGE LIVE pairs to enable workflows where multiple BRIDGE LIVE systems can receive SDI and send to multiple BRIDGE LIVE systems outputting SDI, all in synchronicity. HDR is also supported for end-to-end SDI workflows.

Metadata, HDR, Timecode and Closed Captioning Support

The BRIDGE LIVE 3G-8 fully support Closed Captioning as well as additional metadata, which is often a neglected feature set with other encode/decode solutions.

BRIDGE LIVE 3G-8 support:

MPEG-2 ancillary packet support, SMPTE ST 2038
SDR/HDR Transfer Characteristics, Colorimetry, Luminance via SDI
SCTE-35/SCTE-104 Ad insertion markers
