Swedish video transport specialist Intinor will use IBC2026 to showcase new software upgrades for its Direkt platform, alongside a roadmap that brings SMPTE ST 2110 support and DVB-compliant HEVC into hybrid broadcast workflows. Available immediately, the latest over-the-air software update adds HDR HLG metadata passthrough, preserving colour information from SDI input through MPEG transport streams to SDI output. The update also introduces advanced NDI configuration within the Direkt Management interface and upgrades the platform to NDI 6.3, adding support for 10-bit input and output.

Looking ahead, Intinor will demonstrate the next phase of its IP strategy with forthcoming SMPTE ST 2110 output support, allowing compressed feeds received over the public internet to be integrated directly into uncompressed IP production environments. The same release will also add DVB-compliant HEVC encoding, enabling broadcasters to reduce bandwidth requirements while maintaining compatibility with existing broadcast workflows. A future update is planned to introduce ST 2110 input, creating a two-way gateway between compressed IP contribution and uncompressed production networks.

Peder Boberg, Product Owner at Intinor, said broadcasters increasingly have to manage feeds from a wide variety of sources over unpredictable networks. “Our customers rely on the Direkt series to act as a secure gateway, using tools like Bifrost and SMPTE 2022-7 redundancy to protect those feeds and hand them off safely into the control room.” He added: “By demonstrating ST 2110 advancements alongside immediate updates for NDI, HDR HLG and HEVC, we are showing visitors how to manage these complex hybrid environments without abandoning the platform they already trust.”

The announcement reflects the continuing transition towards IP production, with vendors increasingly focusing on technologies that bridge compressed internet contribution and SMPTE ST 2110 production environments rather than requiring broadcasters to replace existing infrastructure in a single step.
