Next-Generation IP and Baseband Signal Generation

The Evertz MIO-TG is a virtualized, microservice-based test signal generator designed to bridge the transition from baseband SDI to IP-based production environments. Capable of outputting four independent test streams, the MIO-TG delivers simultaneous SMPTE ST 2110 IP streams with SMPTE ST 2022-7 hitless redundancy, as well as main and backup SDI outputs over high-density HD-BNC connectors. Whether deployed in an all-IP facility, a legacy 12G-SDI control room, or a hybrid SDI/IP mobile production unit, the MIO-TG ensures complete signal path integrity and system alignment.

Comprehensive 4K/UHD, Custom Graphics, and Audio

Built for modern broadcast resolutions, the MIO-TG supports 4K/UHD formats up to 2160p60 in single-stream or Two-Sample Interleave (2SI) configurations, alongside 1080p, 1080i, and 720p workflows. Facilities can load up to 16 custom PNG test pattern images to display branding slides or custom alignment charts. To simplify signal tracing, the card supports overlaying two lines of identifying text and live burn-in timecode directly onto patterns. Additionally, each video feed incorporates 16 channels of embedded or IP audio (ST 2110-30), featuring independent tone frequency and gain adjustment for each channel.

Open Control Integration and Flexible Timing

Designed to fit effortlessly into orchestrated media networks, the MIO-TG features full NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 compliance, a device-hosted web GUI, REST-API, and SNMP management. This open control interface allows smooth integration with Evertz MAGNUM-SDVN as well as third-party network control platforms. For precise facility timing, the module locks to Precision Time Protocol (PTPv2) via SMPTE ST 2059-2, AES67, or IEEE 1588 profiles, while maintaining backward compatibility with standard analog black burst and tri-level sync references via the Evertz Scorpion frame.
