The Evolution II encoder represents the next step forward on the evolutionary path of the MXnet Platform. This encoder encompassing an industry-first, holistically integrated approach to AV over IP video distribution from a solo manufacturer. By incorporating a newly designed AVPro Edge application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that introduces an improved software-based video encoding/decoding engine into the IC for enhanced video processing. Refinements to the IC include native support for 4K/60fps 4:4:4 signals (RGB and YCbCr @10- and 12-bit), plus extended audio capabilities to support high bitrate multichannel formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for IMAX Enhanced soundtracks. All MXnet first-generation encoder features are retained for use with the encoder. As the gateway where signal enters the MXnet Ecosystem, connected with category cable or fiber optic cabling, to an MXnet switch or any compatible multicast-capable managed L3 network switch. A connected HDMI source will have audio and video signals encoded into a multicast data format for routing to any system endpoint connected to the same MXnet switch. Encoded HDMI source signals up to native 4K/60fps 4:4:4 with Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG are passed to EVO II downstream decoders, with RS-232 serial pass-through, IR control or USB signals also transportable inside encoded data packets. Encoding is executed using an optimized JPEG 2000 codec, which parses data at managed flexible rates to minimize bitrate errors (200Mbps for 1080p content, 300Mbps for 4K/30fps content, peaking at 850Mbps for 4K/60fps content). Frame-syncing Genlock is supported, with latency near zero and visually imperceptible. The encoder runs quietly and remains cool during operation, utilizing a fan-less design featuring chip-top heat sinking to efficiently disperse heat while limiting power consumption at typically 7 watts or less for stability and device longevity.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: MXNET-1G-EV2 and AC-MXNET-1G-DV2 devices may coexist alongside MXnet first-generation encoders and decoders within previously installed systems or pending system deployments; however, they are required to be used exclusively in EVO II transmitter-to-EVO II decoder(s) pairings only.
JPEG 2000 encoding implemented by MXnet differs from MPEG and other discrete cosine transform-based codecs, as it optimizes compression efficiency for applications with limited bandwidth. JPEG 2000 is based on a wavelet transform algorithm, providing lossless or lossy compression and parseable code streams. Genlock is supported, syncing a video source by frame to decoders comprising a video wall, for a simul-sync, tear-free appearance. JPEG 2000 is reliably used by Digital Cinema Initiatives for theatrical content, by television networks for HD broadcasting, and by DICOM® for critical decision-making medical imaging applications.
First-generation MXnet encoders and decoders were unable to support 4K/60fps 4:4:4 RGB / YCbCr, 10- and 12-bit natively or with dynamic metadata.
When not lossless, the advanced encoding / decoding engine resident on the new ASIC developed for EVO II Encoders and Decoders applies a limited, ultra-light compression, composing an artifact free image upon decoding, including Dolby Vision or HDR10+ content.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for IMAX Enhanced are now supported.
First generation MXnet supported static thumbnails with 960X540 pixel resolution, turning over every 10 seconds. EVO II supports third-party media sub-streaming through an HTTP address, at an improved pixel resolution of 1024x576.
A forward-facing, built-in mini OLED screen displays information critical to device set up, system troubleshooting, or standard operational status. Custom name an EVO II AC-MXNET-1G-EV2 with up to twelve allotted character slots for easy identification or to match your system requirements. IP and MAC addresses are also displayed.
IR and RS-232 control signal routes that have been mapped with MXnet Mentor software direct commands to downstream EVO II decoders through the AC-MXNET-1G-EV2. Any EVO II decoder connected to an MXnet system switch may be eligible to receive routed signals. I-PASS and IR-EYE ports support IR signal throughput from third-party over-control systems to endpoint-related products.
A USB 2.0 Type-B female Host connection resides on every AC-MXNET-1G-EV2. MXnet Mentor software enables easy routing configuration for bi-directional USB signals from a designated Host Encoder to a downstream decoder with a connected USB device.
USB video downstream processing has been improved, supporting resolutions up to 1920x1080p @ 30Hz.
Light emission from an AC-MXNET-1G-EV2 may be controlled via MXnet Mentor. Any status light, including network link LEDs and the OLED Data Window may be optionally disabled to prevent unwanted distraction, enabling discreet placement where desired. Device lights may also be continuous for high visibility when troubleshooting.
MXnet engineers have worked together with Netgear to ensure their switches work with our line of encoders and decoders. To make installing MXnet with Netgear switches even easier, Netgear has developed an AVPro Edge Profile. Once this is loaded, your switch will work seamlessly with the AVPro Edge encoder and decoders.
