The ev670-X30-HW-V2 is a next-generation virtualized media processing platform revolutionizing how media facilities are designed, enabling customers to move to an infrastructure that allows for essential core broadcast services to be applied on a generic hardware platform when required. This paradigm shift from discrete, fixed-function hardware to compute pools of generic hardware with licensable software services provides media companies a flexible, scalable and agile broadcast infrastructure to dynamically meet and adapt to changing facility requirements.

The ev670-X30-HW-V2 is an FPGA-accelerated compute blade that supports both 12G/3G/HD-SDI and IP interfaces. The ev670-X30-HW-V2 provides FPGA-based processing cores where a number of different types of applications (APPs) can be configured, providing services that include: multiviewers, gateway and video, audio and ancillary data processing functionality. As a future-proof, FPGA-based compute blade, ev670-X30-HW-V2 provides all the scalability and flexibility of a virtualized environment, while also ensuring low latency, low power and reliable real-time processing.

ev670-X30-HW-V2 utilizes Evertz' MAGNUM orchestration software to allow users to easily manage apps, licenses and the pool of compute resources. These software tools allow media companies to deploy the required applications (e.g. multiviewer, gateway or video/audio/ancillary processing) as needed. The ev670-X30-HW-V2 provides greater efficiency and utilization of compute resource with respect to fixed function devices or COTS-based hardware, allowing users to accomplish precisely what they need, when needed.

The ev670-X30-HW-V2 supports SNMP, IGMP, JSON, REST and NMOS IS-04/05 protocol. These interfaces provide seamless integration with Evertz' VUE user interface, MAGNUM, VistaLINK® PRO and third-party systems.
