Feels like BMD has some significant stuff in development for IP video, especially given the lack of IP products they have released thus far. The new fiber converters for URSA Broadcast leverage IP video, and Grant even said during the product introduction last year that they are working on IP stuff for the future. I have a feeling they wanted to see where the market was headed a bit, and dipped a toe in the water with their Teranex tico-based IP product. I think that when BM arrives for real in the IP video space, they will deliver a full end-to-end workflow, complete with cameras, switchers, converters, HyperDecks, broadcast panels, video hubs and software so that a customer can fully implement an IP video solution. Bringing it out piecemeal doesn’t seem like a good strategy due to connectivity, interactivity, and workflow issues, so I would envision a big announcement with lots of products when the firmly jump into IP video with both feet. Maybe even at NAB this year???
PS: because NDI has seen such broad adoption, it wouldn’t surprise me if BM adopts it as the basis of its full IP video solution. Having 1 tico based product would not preclude this.
