Abstract
Apparatus, systems and methods for routing an input serial digital interface (SDI) signal from an input SDI port to an output SDI port are described. In at least one embodiment, at least one input card, at least one output card, a midplane coupled to the at least one input card and at least one output card and a controller coupled to the midplane are disclosed. At least one input card being configured to receive the input SDI signal at the input SDI port, process the input SDI signal to generate one or more packetized media streams, each including a plurality of packets, with each packet having a packet header including a source address corresponding to that packetized media stream, and transmit each packetized media stream from an IP output port to the midplane. The midplane being configured to identify the source address corresponding to each packet of a packetized media stream, process the corresponding packets to insert a destination address based on controller instructions, and generate and route a corresponding processed packetized media stream based on the destination address. The output card being configured to receive one or more processed packetized media streams at an in…
