Core benefits

  • Adaptable to any scenario

  • Advanced routing made easy

    The trusted Routemaster lies at the core of Cerebrum and allows any workflow, SDI, IP or hybrid, to be configured in a central multilevel Router, controllable and compatible with almost any native or generic protocol, like NMOS, SDP and Ember+.

  • For today and tomorrow

    Cerebrum is fully capable of managing SDI and IP infrastructures. With the SDN licenses, it can manage your main IP fabric and edge switches. With the integration of various cloud-services it can even manage cloud-based workflows.

  • Agnostic licensing model

    You don’t buy device specific drivers or licenses. Instead, you buy a number of device points which you can use for any device, using any of the more than 250 included protocols.

  • Lower cost of ownership

    Competitively priced options, comprehensive functionality and user-friendliness combine to reduce the need for manual intervention. Cerebrum offers you potentially dramatic savings.

    Users are free to modify the interfaces’ default templates or design their own for a highly customizable experience, both on a live system as well as offline at home using snapshots of the system. The (router) control panels can be fully customized as well.
