Playout 2KX

Playout with 1-4 HD/SD SDI outputs

The WMT playout portfolio make it possible to receive live video from any WMT system using broadband internet networks. The WMT outputs consist of 19 inch 1U high systems with two Ethernet connections providing besides video input, also video output. The WMT decoders connect to the internet with just a single Ethernet connection. When the correct ports are forwarded in the firewall the signals of a WMT will come in and turned into a video signal. This video signal will exit the WMT decoders through a SDI video connection with embedded audio. The systems supports both DHCP and ­fixed IP number confi­guration via the front LCD panel.

We offer decoders in 3 different models

• 2K1; Decodes 1 WMT stream; Single HD/SD sdi output 2K2 Decodes 2 WMT streams simultaneously
• 2K2; Decodes 2 WMT stream; 2  HD/SD sdi output 2K2 Decodes 2 WMT streams simultaneously
• 2K4; Decodes 4 WMT streams simultaneously

For our Multicam and 4K encoders special decoders are required.

Point to point & Multipoint set up

The solution consists of 2 or 3 elements depending on your requirements The system can be configured in a Point to Point set-up or with a backend server and play out solution. The backend Server solution can accommodate the transmissions of up to 20 different WMT Clients and connect to multiple playouts.
