***NEP The Netherlands utilizes Embrionix emSFP platform for next generation IP transport

Amsterdam, Netherlands - September 17, 2017—Embrionix, the global leader in advanced SFP development, announces that its IP based SFP encapsulation and de-encapsulation platform has been selected by NEP The Netherlands. The spine/leaf topology will transport uncompressed SDI content over NEP's extensive IP network, utilizing the ST2022-6 standard.

NEP The Netherlands, a worldwide leader in media technology, leveraged the emSFP size, density, and efficiencies by converting SDI content directly at the switch edge. Spine and leaf topologies allow for flexible expansion, redundancy, and capacity for media centric applications.The system will utilize the ST2022-6 transport, with the option to update the emSFP software when required. "We are very excited to be working with NEP The Netherlands at this level and scale", said Sarkis Abrahamian, VP of Business Development.

"Our emSFP platform has been integrated without compromising rack space or power. All of the processing is in the emSFP.” The emSFP hardware components allow you to select the physical type of Inputs and Outputs you will need to interface. HDBNC, Fiber, HDMI, etc. The software selects how the hardware will process the content. This combination provides a good approach to how the industry currently addresses SDI to IP applications. Embrionix currently supports ST2022-1/2 ASI to IP, ST2022-6/7, ST2110 encapsulation and de-encapsulation software options.

"The emSFP platform is very usefull in our architecture, and a completely different approach to conventional broadcast IP conversion ", saidCasper Choffat,R&D Manager and Lead System Architect at NEP The Netherlands. "We look forward to developing our relationship." Embrionix looks forward to working together with NEP to help continue their direction as a global leader in content creation and distribution.
