Arkona has launched EASY-IP true hybrid SDI/IP routing solution in Asia Pac with Magna Systems

The Future of Hybrid Broadcast

In a world of financial uncertainty and evolving broadcast technology, arkona has launched EASY-IP with its technology partner Magna Systems in the Asia Pac region.

EASY-IP is the industry’s only true hybrid SDI/IP routing solution that enables broadcasters to transition to ST2110 at their own pace, with zero additional investment or hidden future costs.

EASY-IP is a comprehensive package that integrates BLADE//runner and manifold CLOUD live production hardware and software, delivering a unified solution for video and audio routing, multiviewing and processing. This tested and certified design by arkona and manifold ensures a smooth transition to a flexible, future-proof IP infrastructure.

“Broadcasters shouldn’t have to choose between staying with SDI or making an expensive jump to ST2110” – Arkona CEO Rainer Sturm

Arkona CEO Rainer Sturm explained, “Broadcasters shouldn’t have to choose between staying with SDI or making an expensive jump to ST2110. To that end EASY-IP gives them both in a way that’s cost-effective, scalable and ready for the future.”

Balancing SDI/UHD with IP-Based Workflows

As broadcasters balance existing SDI/UHD infrastructures with the growing demand for IP-based workflows, EASY-IP provides a seamless, scalable and cost-effective path forward without the need for forklift upgrades or disruptive overhauls.

EASY-IP is the only solution on the market that allows full operation in SDI/UHD today while providing a built-in transition path to ST2110.

Unlike other solutions requiring multiple boxes and complex integrations, EASY-IP delivers everything on a single hardware and software platform, handling:

  • Video, audio and metadata routing
  • Processing and multiviewing
  • Dynamic hybrid SDI/IP workflows
  • Scalable expansion without hidden costs

While the broadcast industry debates when and how to transition to ST2110, with EASY-IP arkona has put the control in the user’s hands as it’s the users who decide when and how much to move to IP, without forced investments or operational disruptions.
