Company Overview of Axon Digital Design B.V.

Axon Digital Design has appointed Andreas Wuth-Rausch as Business Development Manager for Germany. Andreas joins Axon from Adder Technology where he was Business Development Manager Broadcast & Media.

EMG has selected Axon out of several vendors to become a strategic technology partner. At the beginning of 2017, EMG launched a program called OBjective 2020, aimed at designing a new concept for future media production solutions. In order to achieve this, the concept needed to be modular and scalable and therefore IP based. Following a data-centre approach, applications can be deployed in a flexible way, according to needs, on an FPGA based platform connected via an extensive network. On this network, quality of service, bandwidth control and full control of the routing are guaranteed. As the system can be used in OB trucks, fixed installations as well as flight packs, the first solutions being built following the OBjective 2020 philosophy will be operational at the beginning of 2018 in UHD. Later in the year, EMG plans the roll out of several OB trucks, as well as the renewal of the Italian sports media remote production centre of 3Zero2 - all based on the same technology and concept.

Axon is launching its next generation SynView modular multiviewer that is capable of handling both 4K and any IP video formats. Internationally renowned for its cutting-edge broadcast network infrastructure solutions, Axon has once again pushed product development boundaries by ensuring that this latest version of SynView is ready for the future and can support whatever video transport mechanism the industry chooses to adopt. Designed for use as a stand-alone unit or as part of an Axon Synapse signal processing system, the new SynView solution is ideal for a wide range of applications and from small to extremely large monitoring walls. The only single field latency (20ms@50Hz and 16,7ms@59.94Hz) multiview system on the market, its modular nature means that it can be combined with over 300 different processing modules to provide a system that truly stands out from the competition. The new SynViewconsists of two basic models, each available in two versions (SDI I/O or Ethernet I/O). These versions can be mixed and matched to build a hybrid multiviewer with up to hundreds of inputs and eight 1080p heads (on SDI) or two heads with UHD/4K resolution. Multiple connector panels will be available to allow for different I/O configurations. Compared to earlier systems, SynView’s feature-set has been significantly enhanced, with double the amount of inputs, eight times the amount of outputs (heads), UHD/4K/60Hz output resolution on display outputs and a 6-fold increase of processing power.
