The Kombine licensed option from Grass Valley introduces a new architecture for Kula IP switchers.

It connects multiple switcher frames in a mesh topology, expanding the system capacity as needed with the amount of I/O corresponding to the number of connected frames and up to 16 UHD M/Es. Because GV Kombine is a software option, the underlying hardware can be connected in a modular fashion using an IP network to provide the capacity required for a specific event. The system setup is easily reconfigured as the Kombine software scans all the available IP sources using the built-in NMOS IP technology. Each source can be added as a crosspoint to the Kombine system.

Kombine offers multiple switcher frames in a mesh topology

Chris Merrill, Director of Product Marketing, Grass Valley, said: “Paired with the Maverik control surface and Maverik Soft Panel, Kombine provides tactile control of all the Kula IP frames as a single entity. Switching a show with multiple frames feels the same as switching a single frame. Any source selection on any bus is transparent to the operator, so operators can concentrate on creating their best show without having to worry about processing limitations.”
