Christie innovates in multi-screen processing and video distribution over IP

Spyder-S Series, with five variants for multi-screen window management processing, y Mastering Gateway, for smooth HD video delivery, 4K and 8K over IP networks, are the news that Christie has been developed for live events, sports and broadcast venues.

During your participation in the fair LDI 2024, which ended yesterday in Las Vegas, Christie has presented two important solutions: Spyder-S Series, with five variants for multi-screen window management processing for live events, broadcast and sports venues; y Mastering Gateway, Developed for seamless HD video delivery, 4K and 8K over IP networks for post-production, live events and broadcasts.

How do you explain Clark Williams, vp. executive of Christie's broadcast and professional video group, “Spyder-S Series y Mastering Gateway Raise performance standards for multi-screen window management, your video composition and distribution, audio and metadata over IP networks. These solutions, that offer a flexibility and adaptability unmatched, are designed to meet the demanding demands of professionals in live events sectors, broadcast, visual effects and post-production”.

Spyder-S Series expands the popular Spyder platform with features that redefine real-time multi-screen window management and processing.. Supports high definition resolutions, 4K and 8K with ultra-low latency, ensuring seamless, synchronized image quality for critical applications such as live events, sports and broadcast venues.

Spyder-S Series Features

• Adaptability: Its modular and distributed architecture allows several Spyder-S nodes to be combined into a shared source, monitoring and content canvas for more multimedia inputs and outputs, which results in a canvas higher resolution than previously possible.
• Flexible window modes: to the composition in canvas Mosaic mode now joins, offering a powerful way to distribute content, with minimal latency, to an even greater number of displays by allowing any output to act as a multiviewer in multi-processing environments. canvas.
• High-performance compositing engine: compatible with the latest standards, like HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4 y SDI 12G, Spyder-S can manage up to 64 inputs and layers in one or more pixel spaces, each of them shown in up to 32 outputs of canvas.
• Versatility: supports ultra-high resolution content with an unlimited number of windows per screen.

Video distribution in 4K and 8K

For your part, Christie Mastering Gateway offers advanced tools for distribute video, audio and metadata in high definition, 4Uncompressed K and 8K over IP networks, all with zero frames latency.

This solution is designed to live events, post-production and visual effects workflows, and guarantees connectivity and performance never achieved until now.

Mastering Gateway Features

• Compatibility: with ST protocol 2110-20,30 y 40 for the transmission of uncompressed content over IP networks.
• Optimal quality: stream content in real time, with a color depth of 12 bits y RGB 4:4:4, to meet the growing demand for HDR in post-production.
• Visibility: Each node includes a multiviewer that shows the signals being sent and received.
• Simplified operations: with multiple control options, including a time-based patch scheduler that connects sources to targets based on a shared calendar, and an X-Y control interface for manual patches and presets.
• Adaptability: prepared for the future, Mastering Gateway has a modular architecture that evolves with user needs, seamlessly integrating with today's leading hardware and software solutions.
