A true game changing technology for AV signal distribution, the BlueRiver NT chipset is the world’s first and only chipset to enable the extension, switching and compositing of real-time, uncompressed Ultra-HD signals with zero-frame latency over off-the-shelf IP switches. Replacing custom AV matrix switches with standard IP switches cuts the cost and size of such equipment by 60% while eliminating the associated R&D cost, reducing time-to-market and lowering inventory risk. Using a high-bandwidth, synchronous, packet-based architecture for pixel transmission, the BlueRiver NT chipset is capable of: extending uncompressed Ultra-HD (4K) video, audio, GbE and other control signals over fiber or 100m Cat-x cabling; switching these signals through standard IP switches; and compositing multiple videos onto one or more displays. This FPGA-based chipset can easily be integrated into OEM designs for AV/KVM extension, switching, multi-view and video-wall applications. Ready-to-manufacture reference designs based on the chipset are available for qualified customers.

Technology Benefits
Ability to use off-the-shelf IP switches for matrix switching has numerous benefits including: Unprecedented cost savings: IP switches can be up to
1/10th the cost of equivalent custom AV switches Unmatched I/O density: IP switches deliver a 48x48
switch in a 2U chassis, at least 60% smaller than equivalent custom AV switches
Increased flexibility. As a standard LAN backbone, other networking gear can be used on the same AV network eliminating the need for independent AV and Data networks
Built‐in scalability & future‐proofing: High bandwidth up-links on most IP switches allow easy addition of I/Os beyond the maximum density of the installed switch. Custom AV switches often require full replacement
Embedded local management: BlueRiver Smart-setup auto-configures every BlueRiver device even in the most complex networked systems. No configuration of the switch is required
Widely available control software. Decades of pre-existing R&D for LAN monitoring and control can be leveraged for AV switching without the need to develop custom control software
