IBC: Arkona & Manifold Technologies To Feature IP Platforms Powering OB Trucks And Studios

Technology partners, Arkona and Manifold technologies, are inviting IBC attendees of IBC 2025 (RAI Amsterdam, Sept. 12-15) to Stand 8.A69 to see the IP core infrastructure solutions and multiviewers “being embraced by some of the most visionary and high-profile names in broadcast, live production and entertainment. The two companies will showcase how their technology is transforming real life workflows in OB trucks, production control rooms, studios and esports facilities.”

At IBC, Arkona and Manifold will demonstrate Arkona’s BLADE//runner AT300 platform that delivers audio and video gatewaying, routing, and signal processing, together with Manifold CLOUD, an ultra-low latency multiviewer and media infrastructure platform. These solutions, being deployed globally, are driven by award-winning EASY-IP, a jointly designed platform offering a fast, and cost-effective path to IP adoption.

“We are thrilled to share how our technology is actively shaping the future of live production,” said Erling Hedkvist, business development for both Arkona and Manifold. “With adoption by global leaders in sports, entertainment, and esports, our solutions are proving their value across a wide range of real-world deployments.”

IBC follows major customer installations, including NEP’s Supershooter SS-10 in the US and ME-2 IP trucks in the Middle East. Both are powered by NEP’s Total Facility Control (TFC) broadcast orchestration platform for a fully IP-based infrastructure supporting 1080p and HDR production. Other mobile installations include a suite of solutions for Cloudbass’ two new IP remote production trucks. In esports, one of the largest developers and publishers in the world is actively leveraging both Arkona and Manifold for globally distributed, low-latency workflows.

In entertainment a 15,000 square foot music studio is launching in Los Angeles, California supported by Manifold CLOUD and Arkona. And, in the U.K., a major broadcaster is integrating Manifold CLOUD into two large production control rooms.

At IBC 2025, Arkona will highlight enhancements to BLADE//runner which include its award-winning IP Audio (IPA) app, a dedicated audio mixer that enables native integration with MakeProX, Behringer and other control surfaces using the HUI MIDI communications protocol. This integration enables “seamless control of DSP and mixing functions for simplified workflows via an intuitive hardware interface,” the company says.

A new JXS16 app for the BLADE//runner AT300 platform expands capabilities to deliver 16 channels of JPEG-XS encoding or decoding in a variety of configurations, including 16x Encode, 16x Decode, or 8x Encode + 8x Decode. Support extends to UHD, 3G, and HD for a max of 16 UHD per AT300. The highest-density JPEG-XS UHD codec solution on the market, the app can scale up to 128 x UHD channels in just 3RU.

Manifold will present the European market with new features for Manifold CLOUD aimed at expanding its tool set and adding support for Arkona ’s AT300 programmable acceleration card resulting in native SDI support as well as IP. Other features to be highlighted include Manifold UDX for broadcast quality up/down/cross-conversion of UHD, 3G and HD video.

Sharing the spotlight is EASY-IP, a platform designed to provide a simple but future-proof drop-in replacement for broadcasters wanting to upgrade or expand their existing SDI infrastructure. EASY-IP now offers new hard panel control surfaces that provide users with direct control of routing and processing. These panels are available as an integrated offering with any EASY-IP solution.
