NEXUS-vds is a 1U video, audio, VBI & HBI delay server, with built-in branding for delay, repeat or loop applications. NEXUS-vds delays up to 1.5 hour of video in uncompressed 270Mb SDI mode, with no quality degradation or loss of signal integrity. Up to 165 hours is possible through a high quality 4:2:2 MPEG2 compression in I-frame or long-GOP mode.

Highest picture quality
The NEXUS-vds is capable of delaying 1,5 hour of video in the uncompressed mode. Which means the video delayed trough the NEXUS-vds is pixel perfect with no quality degradation at all. For delays longer than 1 hour a 4:2:2 MPEG2 in I-frame or long-GOP compression is used, providing long delays in very high quality. The length of the delay is optionally upgradeable with added internal storage.
Bit perfect
The HBI & VBI within the SDI; housing for example Dolby, closed caption, teletext, GPI cue tones, VITC, WSS, AFD, Nielsen and other standard or propriety formats are delayed in bit perfect mode.
The NEXUS-vds is agnostic for the information itself as the HBI and VBI are – even in the compressed video mode – delayed trough the system uncompressed without any distortion or degradation.
Branding capabilities
The NEXUS-vds is based upon our industry leading NEXUS-avs (transmission playout solution) and therefore shares the same power and resilience. It provides logos, clips, lives, DVE, local ads, animations (including full screen), text, tickers, audio and captions.
Using the advanced branding capabilities, original program content (video and audio) can be delayed, blanked, replaced and added. The branding functionality is available to the base functionality in 4 stages of options.
Flexibility
The NEXUS-vds offers its powerful branding capabilities in a flexible config-

uration scheme. The branding may be added to the delay or undelayed signal. GPI or other real-time controls may apply in the delayed or undelayed domain. An additional ‘cheat time’ function allows operators to make corrections to the signal in the ‘past’. A unique functionality allowing obscenity and censorship functionality on audio and video ‘before’ they’ve happened.
The combined flexibility in branding and delaying within the depicted input and output delay modes make NEXUS-vds a truly unique and flexible video, audio and control delay system.
Control and configuration
The NEXUS-vds can be controlled manually or by automation via GPI, VBI, manual triggers or ethernet API. The controls themselves can be delayed as well and will be played out in sync with the delayed SDI output.
A web GUI offers a simple interface to configuring and controlling the NEXUS-vds. GPI inputs can be linked to specific branding actions and delayed to GPO pins. Additional web buttons allow real-time manual control and testing of the functionality.
Redundancy and Reliability
State-of-the-art multi-core processor technology has enabled deterministic and high performance behaviour based on 12 years proven technology with the PubliTronic predecessors of the NEXUS server family.
NEXUS-vds is designed for broadcast; solid state technology provides optimal resilience. NEXUS IP-manager, using a separate processor, manages the status and health of the NEXUS unit and provides SNMP and remote management tools for unmanned and remote playout sites.

ADDITIONAL INFO: Typical Application Examples:
1Hour delay
The most popular use of a delay server is to time delay the original transmission by 1 hour and playout as an independent channel an hour later. This normally requires a simple additional logo to be overlayed, but more commonly now additional features and functionalities are being investigated to enable the automatic removal/replacement of graphics, audio and video, whether it be for removal of content that is no longer applicable in the time delayed output, or where content is not permitted to be played twice due to rights agreements. The Nexus-vds provides a single unit with it’s own sophisticated control solutions, enabling even the most complex of scenarios to be accomplished without the need to have complex and costly solutions of multiple boxes and complex automation to control... Nexus-vds will record control data from gpi’s or vbi to overlay clips, silence audio, bring on tickers, multiple logo’s etc., all from our simple web gui.
Obscenity delays
Using Nexus-vds and our Web GUI, our proprietor “time-cheat” technology enable channel to have short delays to enable an operator to deal with obscenities or inappropriate content/audio/graphics/video to be overlayed or removed prior to transmission with an simple button press via the Nexus-vds web GUI. I deal live programs, game shows, OB’s etc..
Shopping Channels
Using the advance video/audio/branding overlay, program segments can be recorded and replayed, looped or repeated at some later stage, with separate branding, audio or clips being used for the subsequent playback.... more sophisticated integration can be achieved with billing/stock control systems using our Nexus-avs with the “Video Delay option” and integrated into our Cobalt Automation.
