SDI over IP

Traditional broadcast Infrastructure built with SDI Base-band Routers, coaxial cables and BNC connectors is transitioning to Ethernet using off-the-shelf network switches and SDN control. The increasing speeds supported by Ethernet Switches and the corresponding improvement in aggregate non-blocking switch and network throughput has paved the way for the use of IP/Ethernet to transport critical broadcast applications in a cost-effective manner, while delivering the same robustness and stability of legacy SDI and MADI router operations – all with greatly increased agility and flexibility to meet ever evolving media formats.

...

• Port configuration like port speed, VLan, trunk, bridge etc.
• Handling of SDI and IP NW together.
• Interact with AMWA NMOS database.
• Security - access security i.e. prevent unwanted devices and packet security i.e. packet encryption.
• NAT (Network Address Translation) - it is already supported in OpenFlow rule instructions in ONOS.
