Ultra HD encoding platform X-Caliber is being debuted on the Evertz stand in Hall 2.
Designed for bulk signal compression in aggregation and distribution environments, X-Caliber -1RU promises efficient media transport and remote production workflows while minimising physical footprint.
Key X-Caliber capabilities include high-density modular architecture, which supports up to eight hot-swappable XIO blades in 1RU for scalable HEVC, H.264, and JPEG XS compression workflows.
X-Caliber is complemented by Evertz’s Scorpion and XPS product families, together creating a scalable and expandable media transport offering for both broadcasters and media service providers.
Stuart Akam, Senior Product Manager, Scorpion & Transport Systems, Evertz, said:
“X-Caliber is designed for Ultra HD aggregation and distribution for general compression, such as JPEG XS, H.264 and HEVC, reducing the footprint and cost per channel in locations where there are a lot of signals. Going forward, the product has a rich roadmap, including the deployment of support for digitisation and transport of RF using the same platform, as well as AI-driven capabilities regarding object detection and tracking.”
