PESA introduced its new series of easyPORT throw down multi-format converter boxes at NAB. At the heart of the easyPORT concept is PESAs compact four-port utility switch, which incorporates standard SFP-type pluggable module card cages.
The easyPORT card cages can be populated to fit practically any combination of input and output signals, including HDMI/DVI, 3G-SDI, ASI, NTSC/PAL, and IP-to-ASI conversion.
easyPORT is currently available in 22 different configurations to handle a wide range of video conversion and distribution needs, but blank boxes can be customised for specific I/O applications. For example, HDMI can be converted to 3G-SDI, NTSC/PAL can be encoded to SDI, ASI can be converted to an IP transport stream, and coaxial cable runs can be converted to fiber optic transports.
All video formats are transcoded or converted internally, and signals can be distributed over several possible transmission paths, including coax, fiber, and CATx for IP.
