In the IP world wherever in the outside broadcast trucks or studios or master control, there are multitude of sub-systems and numerous vendors and probably thousands of processing functions and commands in the IP world. Some vendors have their own SDN but only limited to control products of their own brand.  GeFei, one of the Cogent group company, has developed the SDN to answers these challenges. Our SDN can be used as the centralized control of the whole system. It can communicate with each subsystem or equipment of the system through the docking protocol to complete the management, control and supervision of the entire system.

The GeFei SDN has been widely deployed. It features,

     (1) Unified management of users, equipment, etc. throughout the system

     (2) Unified control of various matrix types of the system

     (3) One-click scene switching

     (4) One-key switch between 4K and HD production modes

     (5) Realization of NMOS function: built-in RDS, constructing scheduling matrix based on IS04 and IS05

     (6) Build an "emergency heterogeneous system" to achieve overall heterogeneous backup of the main system

     (4) Application of command set (macro)-AFV, Joystick, etc.

     (5) Integrated tally and source name system --- no need to configure tally system separately

     (6) System-wide IP management, IP system visualization and other functions

     (7) Flexible application with a wide choice of programmable professional hardware panel, e.g. 1RU 36 keys, 2RU 72 keys, and special-shaped 36 keys …
