NVISION 8500 HYBRID Digital Video/Audio Routers with Audio Processing (4K/3G/HD/SD/ASI/AES/AA/MADI)

Audio/video routing innovations that simplify your workflows.

NVISION 8500 HYBRID routers from Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, combine exceptional resilience with cost, space and power efficiency to make them your ideal enterprise-class routing solution.

Perfect for production and playout applications from trucks to the largest engine rooms, they offer the convenience of integrated audio processing and simplified cable management with no compromises on reliability.

Available in five frame sizes with matrices ranging from 144x144 all the way up to 1152x1152 and larger. Whatever your need or function, NVISION 8500 has the right fit.

With the addition of future-proof NVISION 8500 IP Gateway cards, which provide input and output of SMPTE ST 2022-6 signals over 10 GbE, these routers will serve you well now and far into the future as technology progresses.

NVISION 8500 HYBRID Digital Video/Audio Routers with Audio Processing (4K/3G/HD/SD/ASI/AES/AA/MADI)

KEY FEATURES

Space, power and cost saving with integrated audio processing Integrated 16 channel audio de-embedding, shuffling, re-embedding

and breakaway saves space, power, weight and costs Audio concentrators minimize cabling, associated labor, and weightEliminating audio to video delay problems By eliminating the requirement for external audio de-embedders and

embedders, the router prevents audio to video latency problems, which can be an issue in live production environments when feeding signals to an audio console

Simplified cable management with direct fiber connectivity Unique, clean design provides unparalleled signal integrity and allows

longer coaxial cable runs High density coaxial connectors streamline cabling and lower weight Direct fiber connectivity using SFP modules for 1310 nm and CDWM

wavelengthsUltra resilient design Patented N-on-1 crosspoint redundancy Front loading with hot swappable power supplies, input, output, con-

troller and crosspoint modules, and speed controlled fans Small failure block: input block is 9, output block is 18 Redundant power supplies, crosspoints, and control cards

Scalable for the very largest systems Five frames sizes provide matrices from 144x144 to 1152x1152 and

larger Rectangular matrices (twice as many outputs as inputs) are ideally

suited to feeding multiviewer systemsHighly flexible control Integrates tightly with advanced NV9000 controllers and wide range of

control panels for easier signal management, even in the most complex facilities

Rich facility integration Exceptional integration across a facility, including with multiviewers,

signal processors, master control switchers, tally management sys-tems, and production switchers

IP (SMPTE ST 2022-6) capable NVISION 8500 Router IP Gateway enables routing of baseband video

over IP networks Existing NVISION 8500 HYBRID router frames can utilize NVISION 8500

IP Gateway input/output cards* IP Gateway cards allows for SDI and IP video to coexist in the same

router Works with GV Convergent software defined networking (SDN) control

system to transparently manage facility IP routing with commercial off the shelf (COTS) IP switches

*NVISION 8140 input card design currently precludes gateway usage.
