This prestigious award highlights EASY-IP’s groundbreaking approach to simplifying the transition to IP for Tier-1 broadcasters.

Digital Media World, a leading platform for industry professionals, recognizes innovation in media and entertainment through its annual awards program.

EASY-IP emerged as the top contender in the IP Broadcast Solutions category.

By supporting industry-standard protocols, EASY-IP ensures seamless integration into existing broadcast workflows, enabling Tier-1 broadcasters to transition to a flexible, future-proof IP infrastructure with ease.

The core of EASY-IP is arkona’s BLADE//runner AT300 FPGA PAC hardware, a high-performance platform designed for distributed, networked architectures. Each AT300 unit supports 16×16 SDI-to-IP conversions via dual 100GE network interfaces and scales linearly to meet facility-specific needs. Every input/output channel is UHD-ready as standard, ensuring cutting-edge performance.
