Evertz introduces new community website for ASPEN protocol

Evertz Technologies has announced the launch of the new ASPEN Community website. The ASPEN Community was developed in response to the strong interest and support in the ASPEN framework for IP networks.

ASPEN, Adaptive Sample Picture ENcapsulation, has been developed as an open framework to build flexible, scalable and highly efficient IP facilities. ASPEN allows for video, audio and metadata to be on individual IP multicast streams to provide broadcasters complete flexibility for transport, production and playout applications.

The ASPEN Community, announced at IBC 2015, has been rapidly growing from its initial members, who included Abekas, ChryonHego, Discovery Communications, Game Creek Video, Hitachi Kokusai Electric Limited Inc., NEP Group Inc., PacketStorm, Ross Video, Sony, Tektronix, Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Vizrt. With the strong industry interest regarding ASPEN, the ASPEN Community website will act as a portal of information. The website will keep the industry updated on the progress of ASPEN development and deployment.
