The new R&S®VENICE is suitable for all possible media workflow’s

For studio and live applications, the best application scenario is always just a software license away. The foundation comes from our new R&S®VENICE core paired with commercial off-the-shelf hardware and a video I/O board designed by Rohde & Schwarz.

Features & benefits

On-air reliability

R&S®VENICE has no single point of failure due to redundancy of system-relevant components and the unique R&S Virtual Storage Access which virtualizes a single point of access for redundant storage repositories.

SDI and IP

Thanks to its unique board design, R&S®VENICE can switch from SDI to IP (ST 2110) by simply exchanging the SFP+ modules.

New architecture

R&S®VENICE was redesigned from scratch and based on new microservice architecture, offering purely software-enabled applications.

Interoperability

Due to support for various communication protocols such as VDCP (serial and TCP/IP) FIMS, MOS and more, R&S®VENICE can be integrated into any media value chain.

Versatility

Software applications for ingest and production workflows plus newly developed capabilities for automation driven channel playout enable the R&S®VENICE platform to be deployed across the broadcast ecosystem.
