BEAVERTON, Ore., May 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Tektronix, Inc., an industry-leading innovator of video test, monitoring and diagnostics solutions, today announced that its PRISM media analysis solution, which now delivers comprehensive SMPTE ST 2110 signal generation and analysis, has won the NewBay Best of Show Award presented at the 2018 NAB Show by TV Technology.
To help broadcasters make the transition to full IP deployments, the PRISM media analysis solution supports the recently published SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards (-10,-20,-30,-40,-21) for professional media over managed IP networks along with new, low cost field-upgradable signal generation capabilities that will give users more confidence when testing IP and 12G-SDI for hybrid/SDI networks.
"With the new IP standard, it's critical to give broadcast engineers the tools they need to ensure the performance and stability of their network, particularly during a transition period that may take multiple years to complete," said Charlie Dunn, general manager, Video Product Line, Tektronix. "The PRISM platform is that tool and we're pleased it's been recognized as the solution to a critical industry challenge by the experts at NewBay and TV Technology."
PRISM is the industry's first hybrid SDI/IP media analysis platform that enables a seamless and gradual transition from traditional SDI-based media workflows to new IP-based media infrastructure. PRISM offers the unique ability to perfom the expected operational tasks of a waveform monitor, and also diagnose and correlate both SDI and IP signal types. Unlike other solutions in the market that convert an IP input signal into an SDI signal, PRISM offers true IP workflow media analysis capability including support for fully redundant paths (-7) and a detailed diagnoses of ST 2110 traffic issues.
