AptoVision™ today announced that its BlueRiver™ NT1000, the latest product in AptoVision’s BlueRiver NT+ Series of AV-over-IP chipsets, has garnered “Best of Show” awards from Commercial Integrator, Sound & Video Contractor and AV Technology.
“We are honored to receive this industry recognition and validation,” said Kamran Ahmed, AptoVision CEO and co-founder. “More than 30 manufacturers have already embraced AptoVision’s BlueRiver NT+ technology to power their premium, feature-rich product ranges and now with the lower cost and smaller footprint BlueRiver NT1000, the industry can expect a disruptive increase in the breadth of AV-over-IP product offerings that meet the SDVoE standard.”
The BlueRiver NT+ Series offers the world’s only chipsets to transport uncompressed, zero-latency Ultra HD/4K HDR over Ethernet. BlueRiver NT1000 delivers all the advanced IP-switching and extension capabilities AptoVision is known for while enabling a breakthrough cost of goods. Purpose built and cost optimized for matrix and KVM switching and extension applications, the HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant BlueRiver NT1000 can transmit true 4K/60Hz (4:4:4) video with zero frame latency over 100m of CAT‐x or 30KM of fiber. It supports the complete range of signal types including audio, GbE, USB 2.0, RS‐232 and IR, all of which can be routed independently. Audio can be extracted from or injected into any HDMI stream within the network.
AptoVision’s flagship chipset, the BlueRiver NT2000 continues to offer high-value AV processing capabilities which enable video-wall, multi-view and seamless switching applications. Together, the two members of the BlueRiver NT+ Series allow manufacturers to offer a top-to-bottom portfolio of AV-over-IP products which address the full range of feature, performance and pricing requirements for virtually all AV applications.
About the SDVoE Alliance
SDVoE is an initialism for “Software Defined Video over Ethernet”. The SDVoE Alliance is a nonprofit consortium of technology providers collaborating to standardize the adoption of Ethernet to transport AV signals in professional AV environments, and to create an ecosystem around SDVoE technology allowing software to define AV applications. The alliance participates in tradeshows and conferences, publishes white papers and case studies and promotes SDVoE technology, and solutions based on the technology, to system integrators, designers and consultants. Training and installer certification are also part of the mandate. The SDVoE Alliance founding members are AptoVision, Aquantia, Christie Digital, NETGEAR, Sony and ZeeVee. All interested parties are invited to join the alliance and work toward its goals. For more information, visit www.sdvoe.org.
