Tyngsboro, Mass. – Feb 17, 2022 – As the infrastructure supporting live productions continues to change from SDI Video to IP networks, input flexibility and scalability has become more important than ever.

A hybrid I/O switcher can offer a streamlined solution while enabling the inclusion of more computer-generated content, IP cameras and other NDI or IP sources. Plus, adapting to an IP network also means that a single cable can provide all connectivity, including Power, Audio, Video, and Control. For those looking to embrace the IP revolution at an affordable price, the MX Hybrid is the perfect solution.

The MX Hybrid offers great input flexibility for today’s evolving production environments with eight Network inputs, three SDI (HD/4K) inputs and one HDMI/SDI/Analog input. Since all the inputs can be processed in parallel, along with six internal media sources, complex compositions can be created with ease. Content creators can therefore utilize up to 18 sources, such as graphics, stills, clips, cameras, and remote guests, to produce professional broadcast programming on a cost-effective system.

The input flexibility does not end there. In situations where more SDI video inputs are required, the MX Hybrid can control a low-cost routing switcher to preselect sources, or SDI to NDI converters can be attached to the network.

The IP network can also act like a large routing switcher, with literally an infinite number of sources connected to either a local network or the public internet – the MX Hybrid selects up to eight of those inputs simply and easily, show by show, from the user interface or via the automation.

Similarly, there are two SDI + two network NDI™ outputs that can be assigned to either Program and Aux Bus, as well as native streaming to most common platforms, such as Facebook Live, YouTube, and Vimeo.

The MX Hybrid is available now to meet all your live production needs.
