MediaKind MK RX1 Multi Codec Professional Edge processor

The MK RX1 is an edge device tailored to the specific requirements of contribution and distribution markets. As operators transition to 4K revenue-generating services, there is a growing demand for new IP infrastructure deployments. This enables the cost-effective and flexible carriage of high data rate content, while still retaining the reliability of traditional satellite connectivity.

With the MediaKind accelerator module, users can benefit from delivering high-quality, high-density, and low-latency content in a compact form-factor. The RX1 can function as a contribution decoder with 4:2:2 capability using the decoder card, or as a distribution device with 4:2:0 software decode or 4:2:0 transcode.

The RX1 offers a multitude of functions such as SRT and Zixi, which can be chained with the decode or transcode processes, providing a flexible framework to create customized flows within the RX1.

In a cloud ecosystem, the RX1 can transport content into and out of the cloud, adapting data to local networks. It is deployed in a rugged appliance with standard infrastructure including satellite input, ASI, and SDI. Additionally, it is future-proofed for the all-IP world, offering functions such as SRT input and output, Zixi Feeder/Receiver, and SMPTE ST 2110 output.
