Experience the New MEP100 SmartNIC at NAB 2025 We’re thrilled to announce our latest expansion to the MEP100 SmartNIC solution - the first 100GbE ST 2110 PCIe card that works on the Mac! This major update delivers ultra-low-latency media workflows at 100 Gbps, giving broadcast and production teams the power to ingest, edit, and distribute multiple high-resolution streams without overloading system resources.

Supercharge Your Broadcast Workflow with Macnica’s ST 2110 Solutions Looking to streamline your transition to IP-based workflows for Broadcast and ProAV? Macnica delivers a powerful suite of hardware and software solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of modern media organizations. At the heart of our Broadcast and ProAV offerings is the MEP100 100G ST 2110 SmartNIC, a hardware-accelerated NIC card that offloads the heavy lifting of video and audio transport from the CPU. By handling ST 2110 packet creation and processing in the FPGA, the MEP100 significantly reduces CPU usage and overall system latency - giving you more resources for creative tasks and ensuring reliable, high-quality streams.

The Evolving Landscape of CMOS Image Sensor Interfaces As modern image processing and computer vision applications push the boundaries of resolution, frame rates, and data throughput, CMOS image sensor technologies have evolved rapidly to meet these growing demands. From industrial automation and scientific imaging to autonomous vehicles and high-end consumer electronics, advancements in sensor technology are driving innovations in high-speed, low-latency data transmission. With the rise of 4K, 8K, and even higher-resolution imaging systems, the need for high-performance, scalable sensor interfaces is more critical than ever. Key players in this evolution include Sony Semiconductor, a leader in image sensing technology, with its proprietary Scalable Low-Voltage Signaling with Embedded Clock (SLVS-EC) interface. Designed for high-speed, high-bandwidth applications, SLVS-EC exemplifies how proprietary interfaces are tailored to meet the challenges of modern vision systems while ensuring efficient, low-latency communication. Sony’s CMOS sensor lineup and their advanced interface technologies can be explored further on our Macnica Americas website, where you can find comprehensive resources to guide your imaging system development.

Balancing CapEx and OpEx in Modern Media Workflows In live media production, decision-makers face a common yet increasingly complex challenge: balancing capital investments with operational costs while maintaining the highest level of performance and flexibility. This balancing act not only determines financial outcomes but also the success of your workflows and overall business operations. Traditionally, the performance demands of live production - such as ultra-low latency, uncompressed media flows, and precise synchronization - have required significant investments in dedicated on-premise infrastructure. This infrastructure, whether specialized hardware or dedicated production facilities, represents a clear capital expenditure (CapEx). On the other hand, modern workflows, particularly those leveraging cloud resources, offer functionality with lower upfront investment, shifting costs into an operating expense (OpEx) model. Both approaches have their strengths, but achieving sustainable and scalable workflows lies in finding the right balance. To address this challenge, Macnica’s MEP100 and Media Streaming SDK (M2S) provide solutions designed to optimize this balance, particularly in demanding environments of live broadcast live production.
