BIAMP INTRODUCES LOW-LATENCY 4K DISTRIBUTION TO TESIRA PLATFORM

Biamp Systems TesiraLux — introducing low-latency 4K networked video distribution to the Tesira platform by transporting both audio and video signals over a single network with AVB/TSN.

“With the addition of TesiraLux, we have put the ‘V’ in ‘AVB,’ truly extending the power and sophistication of what is possible in a networked AV solution,” said Chris Fitzsimmons, product manager for video products at Biamp. “TesiraLux delivers dependable performance and automatic handling of lip sync, resulting in transmissions that are visually lossless and perfectly aligned. It turns Tesira into a complete network media platform simplifies even the most complex AV applications in corporate, government, hospitality, and education.”

The TesiraLux product line will initially include an AVB video encoder (TesiraLUX IDH-1) and an AVB video decoder (TesiraLUX OH-1). The encoder features a HDMI port, DisplayPort port, and two mic/line-level analogue inputs. The decoder includes one HDMI port and two line-level analogue outputs.

The latest advancements in video formats, including 4096 x 2160 at 60Hz, HDR, and the Rec. 2020 colour space are all supported by TesiraLux. It supports eight channels of embedded PCM audio that can be broken out and routed independently. Scalers in both the encoder and decoder manage EDID automatically between the TesiraLux device and the input source/output display. Biamp says, due to the AVB/TSN network, the total system latency is less than two frames — including scaling, compression, and network transit.

Within a single software environment, system designers can create audio and video installations to match their exact specifications. Because TesiraLUX’s video partitions behave like Tesira’s audio partitions, designers have a modular and intuitive approach to system design and commissioning, resulting in significant time and cost savings for integrators. In addition, Tesira coordinates signal distribution so there’s no need to manually add audio delays for lip sync.
