SDN by Evertz IP Without Compromise
Traditional Baseband Facility - Facility today has baseband portion and IT. Two separate systems – broadcast engineer vs network engineer IP at the edges of the system, still baseband in the core
Move to IP Facility & SDVN Software Defined Video Networking: Take advantage of Ethernet infrastructure Distributed routing Pooled resources vs linear paths Remote resource and staffing Efficient use of resources Virtualized assets
SDVN Architecture Overview Overview… Magnum to control all aspects possible
SDVN – Key Issues Control must be seamless Operations should not know the difference Same control surfaces as baseband plant Control panels and GUI’s Functionality and Reliability paramount, i.e. must be as good as baseband Deterministic video paths Cannot tolerate contention Simple to use and maintain
SDVN Building Blocks
IP Gateways Universal IP edge devices for encapsulating, de-encapsulating, translating: ASI/SD/HD/3G <> IP IP <> IP (Unicast <> Multi-cast translation) FEC (e.g. SMPTE 2022) Hitless switching (SMPTE 2022-7) 8/16/24/32 channel high density - modular Multiple 1/10 GE interfaces with redundancy Additional IP Gateways for : Audio: AES, MADI Data: RS232/422
IP Gateways Can also be add-on modules for existing baseband Evertz routers Provides easy transition to 10GE/IP for hybrid environment
IP Switch Fabric Modular 6RU blades 16/32/64, 1/10 GE Port Configurations (up to 640Gb/s) Baseband Equivalents Uncompressed HD (6 HD per 10GE) 16 Port = 96 x 96 32 Port = 192 x 192 64 Port = 384 x 384 Routing Control - Simple X-Y style SRC >> DST >>TAKE Traditional panel and GUI control Simplify IP Network Channel Delivery
EXE-VSR Video Service Router 46Tb/s 2304 ports of 10GigE in 40RU Supports 40G/100G • Fully separated control and data plane • Fully non blocking modular architecture • Active electronics hot swappable from the front • Front to back redundant cooling • Distributed Redundant Controllers
High Density Network Address Translation Where need to manage the address space One-to-one NAT (2048 static mapping) VLAN base NAT (2048 VLAN ID mapping) Port based NAT 4 x 1/10GE interfaces Applications Typically used on the Network edge In-bound firewall Multicast <> Unicast Stream replication
Application (Multicast/Unicast NAT)
Other Key Building Blocks Bulk Encoders (Multi-channel J2K) 10GE Multi-Viewers No need to go back to baseband Standard & Advanced AVM monitoring &analysis Universal Encoders/Transcoders (UEP) Any format (H.264/J2K/MPEG-2) IN <> OUT ALL UNDER UNIFIED CONTROL IS KEY
SDVN Control Plane
Simple Ethernet Interface Configuration Enable 1/10Ge port
Virtual Multicast Sources
Simple X-Y Operator Control Set the cross-point like traditional x-y Video Routers
Complete System Monitoring & Control
Applications
SDVN for Transport
SDVN for Production
SDVN for Playout
Summary – Benefits of SDVN IP Facility Future-proof facility SD to 4K Scalable Remove physical restrictions of baseband growth High Reliability Utilize device and network redundancy Efficient Workflows Create “services” in a private “cloud” Migrate from linear to non-linear workflow CONTROL IS KEY – MUST BE SIMPLE
