About Embrionix
Embrionix provides compact, high-density IP gateways, signal processors, converters and multiviewers for broadcast video applications. The company’s innovative low-footprint solutions free up premium rack space, consume less power and close the gap between fiber optic, coaxial and emerging IP technology deployments (including SMPTE ST2110, ST2022-6, ST2022-1/2, HDMI, composite video).
The transition to IP becomes much easier with a highly optimized solution for SDI-to-IP conversion provided by Embrionix. This is made possible with the company’s miniaturized emSFP modules equipped with an IP encapsulator and decapsulator. These miniaturized devices can be installed directly inside 10GE / 25GE COTS IP switches to convert any SDI legacy equipment in your IP network or within the Embrionix emMODULAR 1RU aggregator frame capable of moving 4K UHD over a 25GE network. The company also offers a series of standalone, compact gateways tailored to monitor and format-convert IP signals.
With headquarters in Laval, Canada, Embrionix also has design, research & development, and sales offices located in California, France, Germany, Israel, the United Kingdom and Japan.
