Live Production
IP Connectivity
At a Glance
As technology continues to evolve, transport streams and workflows are refined to do things like increase scale, integrate multi-site facilities into a single system view, REMI productions, virtualization, cloud production and more. One of the driving forces behind this evolution is the use of IP transport streams to facilite some of these workflows. For those looking for these types of workflows, Ross has an extensive line of products to meet these demands. SDI/IP gateways, virtualized processing, cloud based production, all under the same user surfaces and , providing the same user confidences, bring a complete solution within the Ross Ecosystem for customers interested in these IP- centric workflows.
Scalable
Ross IP solutions are scalable. From something as small as a single point-of-se device like a Newt or Iggy up to a full blown on-prem/cloud hybrid solution utilizing all Ross products for a complete integrated solution, Ross IP products are designed to grow as your facility does.
Flexible
Cloud-based production workflow and services. On-prem bulk gateways and audio/video signal processing, routing, and multiviewers. Multichannel graphics systems. Ross has the products to support a myriad of environments and applications. Our systems are designed to be used to match your creativity.
Agile
With Ross IP solutions, you can quickly add services and features. IP transport gives the ability to rapidly tie into existing systems with minimal impact to current operations.
Software Defined
Adding processing elements like multiviewers, audio mixers, production services and more is done simply by adding licenses. This results in maximum value and longevity of hardware that is purchased.
Pay as You Go
Add functionality when you need it without having to purchase additional equipment. Subscription services and cloud-based products give you flexibility to buy only what you need and modify it as your requirements change.
User Friendly
Common control surfaces for a wide range of products allow for streamlined and efficient operations. Supporting industry-standard protocols such as NMOS means you have the ability to create an entire control ecosystem with Ross and third-party equipment.
