KudosPro-IP
Video and Audio Processing for IP Systems
KudosPro-IP processing units can form a core component of any IP system and help broadcasters migrate from traditional baseband SDI video and audio processing to new hybrid or fully IP workflows. KudosPro-IP is equipped with a Grass Valley video-over-IP transceiver, providing up to four broadcast-quality processing channels with IP inputs and outputs conforming to SMPTE ST 2110, 2022-6 and 2022-7 over 10 GbE links and available in just 1 RU. KudosPro-IP also fully integrates with GV Orbit IP routing and control system, making integration simple and straightforward.
FEATURES
