Macnica and Softron Media Services have launched the M|8IP, a turnkey bundle combining Macnica's 100GbE MEP100 SmartNIC with Softron's MovieRecorder 5 software. The solution enables Mac-based production teams to perform hardware-accelerated SMPTE ST 2110 ingest and transport for high-density HD and 8K immersive workflows.
This collaboration lowers the barrier to entry for Mac-based production teams transitioning to IP-based workflows by eliminating the complex integration of discrete I/O hardware and drivers. By providing a deterministic transport path for 8K and immersive formats, the solution addresses the increasing demand for high-resolution live sports content, such as recent Major League Baseball broadcasts. The move signals a shift away from closed, purpose-built appliances toward open, standards-based software environments that utilize commercial off-the-shelf hardware. Watch for whether this turnkey approach accelerates the adoption of ST 2110-22 compressed workflows in mid-tier production environments that previously lacked the engineering resources for custom IP deployments.
Macnica and Softron have launched the M|8IP bundle, combining the MEP100 SmartNIC with MovieRecorder 5 software to enable high-density SMPTE ST 2110 production on macOS. This turnkey solution supports up to 32 uncompressed HD streams, simplifying IP-based workflows for live broadcast environments by replacing complex, purpose-built hardware with standards-based software.
The bundle includes the hardware-accelerated MEP100 SmartNIC and Softron's MovieRecorder 5 software to facilitate high-density SMPTE ST 2110 ingest and transport.
The dual 100GbE interfaces support up to 32 uncompressed HD video streams in and out on supported Mac Studio configurations.
Yes, firmware options allow for ST 2110-22 workflows that support Apple ProRes compression.
The solution features integrated support for NMOS IS-04/05 and SMPTE ST 2022-7 to ensure interoperability within professional IP facilities.
