operations

The XVS-8000 multi-format video switcher delivers massive benefits in terms of flexibility and operability for top-end production, giving you the ability to realize a powerful mixed environment with SDI and IP. Utilizing the flexible ICP-X7000 X-Panel assignable modular design, you can configure the control panel to suit your specific operations. The XVS-8000 provides 4K production capability similar to HD, including DME. Supporting not only Networked Media Interface (NMI), but also SMPTE ST 2110, places the switcher at the heart of the new generation IP Live production system.

100G IP interface boards fully support SMPTE ST 2110, and new 12G-based SDI interface boards increase flexibility even further by enabling IP/SDI hybrid operating environments. The advanced features and operational flexibility of the XVS-8000 make it Sony’s high-end production switcher, offering ultimate quality combined with significant return on investment.

Supports Networked Media Interface (NMI) and SMPTE ST 2110

The XVS-8000 supports the Networked Media Interface (NMI), developed by Sony and some of the world’s leading broadcast industry organizations. NMI combines the latest IP network technologies with a current SDI standard interface to support any resolution of video transmission. The XVS-8000 also supports two key industry standards SMPTE ST 2110 Media Transport and AMWA NMOS Device Discovery with the new 100G-based IP interface boards. While conventional systems require multiple different types of cables to carry various signal types (video, audio, reference, metadata, and control data), NMI and SMPTE ST 2110 require only a single standard network cable passing through conventional network switches.
