MLB Network Orders Miranda's Kaleido-X Multi-Viewer and NVISION's NV8576 Router for Integrated Multi-Image Display and Routing System
Market Wire, October, 2008
Miranda Technologies (TSX: MT) and NVISION today announced that the MLB Network, Major League Baseball's 24-hour cable network, which is set to launch on January 1, 2009, has ordered a Kaleido-X multi-image display system and an NVISION NV8576 Large-Matrix Digital Multi-Format Router to build a large-scale, highly integrated multi-image display and routing system for its new full HD Secaucus facility in New Jersey.
With the new system, the MLB Network will be able to monitor over 500 video inputs over more than 60 high quality multi-image display outputs. The multi-viewer/router integration offers unsurpassed signal flexibility, with the ability to display signals freely across multiple displays, without restrictions on signal position, repetition, format or aspect ratio.
The monitoring displays will be installed in a number of areas at the new facility, including the Master Control, QC, and ingest rooms, as well as two large production control rooms.
"We'll be handling many more signals than people might think, in all flavors and formats", explains Mark Haden, Vice-President Engineering and IT, at MLB Network. "With a vast number and range of signals to manage, we needed a large, reliable monitoring system that could be easily configured," said Haden.
"The Kaleido-X's on-screen mouse operation and powerful layout software allows direct source assignment from the NVISION router. Our operators will quickly be able to assign any source to any destination on the monitor wall. What's more, by recalling a layout, the router will be instantly reconfigured."
The combined multiviewer/router system offers exceptional resiliency, with no single point of failure and true cross-point redundancy. The Kaleido-X multi-image processor features an auto-recovery capability that automatically configures new cards loaded in a frame from other installed cards.
Other benefits to this tightly integrated multi-image display/router include dynamically updated UMDs using the router source labels, as well as reduced cabling and easier installation due to more streamlined hardware.
With a range of expansion options, the NVISION NV8576 router and Miranda Kaleido-X multi-viewer enables highly reliable routing of up to 1152 video inputs and 128 multi-image display outputs, without impacting the signal flexibility or quality.
