Artel, a prominent brand under Patton specializing in media transport solutions, has officially announced the launch of its groundbreaking OG-JXS SMART openGear ST2110 A/V-over-IP Gateway. This innovative product is now available for pre-order, with the first deliveries anticipated to commence in April 2026.
Revolutionizing Bandwidth Efficiency in Broadcast
The new OG-JXS gateway is engineered to address the critical need for bandwidth optimization as audio-visual broadcasters increasingly transition to IP-based infrastructures. The device leverages state-of-the-art JPEG-XS compression, specifically TR-08 encoding, to achieve an unprecedented 20-fold improvement in bandwidth efficiency. This advancement allows for the transmission of broadcast-quality 4K and high-definition video with ultra-low latency, all without any perceptible loss in audio or visual fidelity.
Key Features and Technical Specifications
The OG-JXS is a dual-channel SDI-to-IP media gateway that offers versatile bi-directional operation. Each unit comes bundled with both encode and decode licenses, providing exceptional flexibility for modern production environments.
- JPEG-XS Compression: Implements TR-08 encoding to deliver 20x bandwidth efficiency while maintaining pristine A/V quality.
- Dual-Channel Operation: Supports two channels of 12G, 6G, 3G, or HD-SDI encoding and decoding.
- Built-In Frame Synchronization: SDI inputs are synchronized prior to encapsulation, ensuring seamless IP integration.
- ST2022-7 Hitless Redundancy: Utilizes dual 10GbE SFPs for protection switching with packet duplication, enhancing reliability.
- Comprehensive Signal Processing: Each SDI port accommodates one video channel, 16 audio channels, and one data channel.
- Flexible Connectivity: Features six HD-BNC ports, including two inputs and two dual-port outputs for 12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI connections.
- Streamlined Management: Integrates with NMOS control and the openGear DashBoard for efficient remote monitoring and management.
Industry Context and Executive Insight
The launch arrives during a period of significant industry adoption of ST2110 technology, with 2025 being widely recognized as "the year of ST2110." This standard has become central to modern broadcast workflows, and Artel's latest innovation is poised to accelerate this transition further.
"As A/V broadcasters transition to IP infrastructure, bandwidth optimization is critical," stated Burton A. Patton (Burt), Chief Revenue Officer at Patton. "The Artel OG-JXS delivers a perfect balance, featuring the ideal combination of efficiency, quality, and low latency that modern production environments require."
By drastically reducing the bandwidth required for high-quality video transport, the OG-JXS enables broadcasters to lower infrastructure costs significantly. This makes it an economically attractive solution for professional AV applications demanding uncompromising audio-visual performance.
Design and Compatibility
The OG-JXS card is designed for installation within industry-standard openGear chassis, ensuring broad compatibility and ease of integration into existing broadcast setups. Its support for ST2022-7 hitless redundancy provides a seamless protection mechanism, safeguarding against network disruptions.
In encoder configuration, the card provides two ST2110-22 IP outputs. When operated in decoder mode, it delivers two 12G-SDI outputs, facilitating straightforward connectivity to downstream devices within a production chain.
This announcement follows Artel's recent introduction of the OG-ENDE, another cutting-edge openGear ST2110 gateway designed for bi-directional, multi-channel conversion between 12G-SDI and IP workflows, underscoring the company's commitment to advancing IP-based media transport technology.
