LiveIP Studio Project Featuring Axon’s Multiviewer Wins IBC 2016 Innovation Award

Driven by the VRT Sandbox incubator program and the EBU, and powered by a long list of partners including Axon, Digital & Media Solutions (D&MS), Dwesam, EVS, Genelec, Grass Valley, Imagine Communications, Lawo, Nevion, Tektronix, Trilogy and Vizrt, the LiveIP project has developed a fully functional IP production studio with signal processing and monitoring managed by Axon’s Synapse networked multiviewer technology.  Using existing open standards SMPTE 2022-6, AES67/RAVENNA, PTP and OpenFlow, the venture demonstrates a high level of interoperability and leverages the unique benefits of IP to create efficiencies, such as remote production and automation.

This latest acknowledgement of the project’s success follows two other notable wins over the last year — the project received a special recognition award at the IABM Design & Innovation Awards and the award for Technology & Innovation at EBU2016.

“Axon is delighted and proud to be part of this ground-breaking VRT-EBU LiveIP Studio initiative and we congratulate all the partners involved,” said Jan Eveleens, CEO Axon. “This award highlights both the importance of IP in future media production workflows and the ongoing need for close industry collaboration and integration to drive IP forward.”
