SCORPION

Flexible Media Edge

SCORPION is the next generation flexible media edge hardware platform from Evertz. The platform leverages innovation in broadcast technology developed, manufactured, and deployed by Evertz over the past 20 years consolidated in a more integrated form factor to address the problems in the broadcast ecosystems of today. This is accomplished using a scalable chassis offering, broad catalog of processing and discrete IO modules (MIOs), all tied together using built in SDI and IP matrices to create highly flexible and customizable solutions. These tools are designed to address the challenges in broadcast media contribution, production, and primary distribution application spaces.

Platform Features

As production and technologies rapidly change, the ability to be flexible at the edge offers broadcasters a way to reduce friction and to adapt to new requirements. The SCORPION platform uses standards-based technology to facilitate moving and processing signals in SDI, fiber, and IP based networks. A broad catalog of video, audio, and data formats supported in a platform that can ingest, process, and normalize signals then leverage uncompressed standards or video compression codecs to move them within production or across transport networks.

Scalable Chassis

SCORPION is a scalable platform, providing several options depending on the quantity of signals, type of connectivity, and environment they need to operate within. Chassis ranging from high density, to medium density low noise/silent, to throwdown media extenders are available in the SCORPION platform.

Modular Processing and Discrete IO

SCORPION leverages miniature input and output devices called MIO modules. These devices facilitate the integration of video, audio, and data signal formats into broadcast systems in various application spaces. The MIO module catalog includes a range of functionality, from simple discrete signal IO to high power compute blades for more complex processing functions.
