                • Additional configurations and status are currently available via in-band REST API
                • Management interface support (NMOS In-band)
                  • NMOS (Out-band) through control lan2 is on the roadmap
                  • NMOS is always enabled. The input stream selection occurs through network discovery and communication with facility automation.
                  • NMOS uses the address of the unit’s in-band network interface for communications. When the monitor boots up, it actively scans the network for an NMOS registry using MDNS/DNS. If it finds one, it will provide the NMOS registry its ID and its capabilities
                  • If the Monitor does not find an NMOS registry, it continues to announce itself through MDNS so that it can be discovered. Once discovered, it registers itself with whatever has discovered the unit through MDNS.
                • IP 2110 Video Format Frame Rate Support
                  • The IP 2110 module supports the use of one frame rate type for both the Main and Aux channels’ video format settings
                  • The frame rate type can be either integer, for video formats such as 1080p50, or fractional, for video formats such as 1080p59.94
                  • In the event Main and Aux are set to different video formats frame rates, loss of signal to one channel will be observed. i.e., the last channel (Main/Aux) that is set will control the video format frame rate being applied. Thus, when a channel’s video format is set with a frame rate that does not match the other channel’s video format, the newly configured channel’s signal will work while the other channel’s signal will be lost
                  • You will see a warning about the frame rate configuration when hovering over the video format field in the web UI
                Plura IP 2110 Monitor input format
                Frame Rate Configuration Warning
                • Ember+ and Plura IP 2110 monitor System Log Access
                  • The Ember+ and IP 2110 system logs can be accessed via the Web UI by appending ‘/logs’ to the Control LAN 2 IP address in your browser address bar.
                  • For example, if your Control LAN 2 IP address is 10.0.1.209, you can access the web UI logs here: 10.0.1.209/logs
                  • To return to the normal web UI control and configuration, use your browser’s back button

                Plura’s 15th Anniversary Video

                Our CEO Ray Kalo, ponders on our distinguished journey and looking forward to the future:

                Year 2021 marks a very special year for Plura as we celebrate our 15th anniversary. Plura was founded in 2006. We went from an engineering conceptual idea for enriching the video monitor essence in the broadcast market, manufacturing and producing reliable, cost effective and rich feature solutions to a recognized and reputable technology solution provider in a global marketplace.

                Embracing Yesterday

                There are many positives & negatives to be learned from the past and I think it constitutes to two simple elements. Firstly, NOTHING is Impossible! Even though at the onset of this voyage our plans, goals, and objectives were simply idealistic and debatable. Nevertheless, we were committed to tackle these challenges head-on. We worked tirelessly to achieve these goals and deliverables, learn from our mistakes and never give up. Secondly, Express Respect and Integrity which are not only important for our company philosophy, but crucial to assembling an international company that is able to develop business relationships in a worldwide economy. 

                Our drive is based on being unconventional and taking risks. We love to go against the odds, even in competitive and challenging markets. 

                Through organic growth and acquisitions we strengthened our business; building a customer base that is unique in our industry. Plura has and continues to become the trailblazer in providing integrated monitoring solutions with SFP “Small Factor Pluggable” in IP 2110 & Coaxial globally. In addition we’ve reached a unique scale and level of expertise in timing solutions that meets our customers’ critical precision and synchronization timing needs.

                The People Factor

                Without the people help, this journey wouldn’t be possible…. 

                Firstly, big thank you to our trusted patrons for believing in us for many years and making us a prominent supplier in our industry. We are privileged to have your trust and will work vigorously to continue to earn it.

                Plura extends Ember+ & TSL support simultaneously to various monitors.

                Ember+ & TSL capabilities support with ember+ H/W option is NOW available to many Plura monitor series such as PBM-4K, PBM-4K-H, SFP-H-7, SFP-H, PRM-3G, PBM-3G and LCM-3G.

                Plura Broadcast, a global manufacturer of high-performance digital broadcast and video production solutions, Plura unveils the availability of Ember+ & TSL protocol control with the majority of the Plura monitor series.

                Many Plura monitor series offer Ember+ compliant control system capabilities, i.e. can be controlled by Lawo-VSM, BFE-Core or any other Ember+ compliant control system.

                The ember+ capability is standard in PBM-4K and PBM-4K-H and is available as an option in the SFP-H, SFP-H-7, PRM-3G, PBM-3G & LCM-3G series. The innovation of this product is a combination of multi-Core powerful H/W and S/W platforms to adapt and process multiple protocols.

                As an extension to the successful ember+ capabilities, we have added TSL support using the same CONTROL LAN PORT.  The same CONTROL LAN PORT can be also be utilized for F/W & FPGA update along with web URL control and product information.

                The core of this platform is based on fully programmable architecture. Future proof expansion (i.e. additional features and functionalities can and will be implemented in the field via the CONTROL LAN PORT.

                Withdrawal from IBC 2020

                Phoenix, AZ. – May 1, 2020 – Plura Broadcast, Inc and Plura Europe GmbH would like to announce that we have officially withdrawn and cancelled our IBC 2020 exhibition participation in Amsterdam, which is currently scheduled for Sept. 11-14.

                The current pandemic is the key factor in this decision. COVID-19 has already caused the cancellation of many other shows such as 2020 NAB Show and the postponement of others such as Broadcast Asia 2020 & Cabsat 2020.

                So you can imagine it has been a very difficult decision to make with many deliberations with our staff and our acquaintances. said Ray Kalo, President & CEO of Plura.

                “Since its inception in 2006, Plura has been committed to our industry tradeshows and participated in IBC every year. We take these trade shows seriously and prepare for them all year round. These trade shows keep our engine running with innovation, aspiration and motivation. It came down to what matters most….Bottom line …We value the well being of our employees and their loved ones.”

                Our emphasis now is bridging the current social gap with our customers during these challenging times and how to keep them fully updated and supported with the latest solutions and innovations from Plura.

                Plura is starting to adapt to the new reality, it’s time to brainstorm for new ways to communicate with our customers bearing in mind the health factors and social distancing methodology. This is NOT going to be easy, our industry is formed around face-to-face interaction, and it might continue to be so but in a different form. “time will tell”.  

                In the next few days Plura will invite our customers to schedule a one on one online appointment in addition we will implement virtual individual and group meetings to stay connected with customers and partners.

                Plura is committed – and prepared – to serve you while also keeping our employees safe. Our entire team would like to thank you your the trust and support in us. We’re on this journey with you and look forward to supporting you in whatever way we can.
