The SDI xNode builds upon the success of the popular Axia xNode series of interfaces by bridging HD/SD-SDI audio channels into the Livewire+ and AES-67 Audio over IP domain. Audio from dual HD/SD-SDI inputs is available to the AoIP network, or can be shuffled and re-embedded into the SDI outputs. Compensating video delay for each SDI input maintains audio/video sync.

For the first time, facilities can now take advantage of fully distributed I/O and Audio over IP for HD/SD-SDI signals to allow incredibly flexible audio routing and distribution. Combine with AERO.soft and other types of xNodes as necessary (AES, analog) for a completely distributed, scalable, high-density, and future-resistant audio processing solution.
