Germany's TV Skyline has become the first customer for Ross Video’s new Ultrix FR30, a hyperconverged routing and signal-processing platform launched at IBC2026. The 30RU system supports up to 576 UHD inputs and outputs, integrating SDI, ST 2110, NDI, and SRT to simplify high-capacity live production workflows.
The adoption of the Ross Video Ultrix FR30 by TV Skyline signals a shift toward hyperconverged infrastructure in high-capacity outside broadcast environments. By consolidating routing, multiviewing, and signal processing into one frame, operators can significantly reduce the physical footprint and energy costs of live production stacks. This move reflects a broader industry trend where software-defined hardware replaces disparate legacy components to handle the bandwidth demands of UHD and IP-based workflows. Watch for how quickly other European OB providers transition to these high-density frames to manage the complexity of hybrid SDI and ST 2110 environments.
The industry is increasingly moving toward SMPTE ST 2110 IP production to support the high-bandwidth requirements of modern live sports and entertainment broadcasts.
German media provider TV Skyline has purchased the first Ross Video Ultrix FR30, a 30RU hyperconverged routing platform. This adoption is significant as it signals a shift toward hyperconverged infrastructure in high-capacity broadcast environments, allowing operators to consolidate routing, multiviewing, and signal processing to reduce physical footprint and energy costs.
The Ultrix FR30 is a 30RU hyperconverged routing platform designed for high-capacity live production, supporting up to 576 UHD inputs and outputs.
The system architecture supports transport-agnostic workflows, including SDI, NDI, SRT, and SMPTE ST 2110.
Ross Video claims the platform can reduce rack space requirements by up to 97% and lower power consumption by 89% compared to traditional setups.
TV Skyline uses software licensing to activate production switching and signal processing features within the chassis as needed.
