Imagine Communications Introduces SNP-XS
Imagine Communications is expanding its Selenio™ Network Processor (SNP) line with the introduction of SNP-XS - a versatile addition that brings the power of the trusted SNP platform into a compact, deploy-anywhere form factor. Delivering ultra-quiet operation and high-performance processing in a small 2RU footprint, SNP-XS is the ideal solution for edge deployments, facility expansions, remote routing endpoints, mobile production, and any space-constrained environment.
Imagine’s acclaimed SNP has become the processing platform of choice for media companies across the industry with more than 5,000 units shipped to date, powering over 150,000 video streams and 2 million audio streams worldwide. Built on the same field-proven architecture as the flagship SNP platform, SNP-XS supports SMPTE ST 2110 and ST 2022-6 IP standards while maintaining seamless interoperability with SDI-based workflows — making it a perfect bridge for customers transitioning to IP or optimizing an existing SDI facility.

It shares the same software releases, APIs, control protocols, and feature licenses as the flagship SNP, ensuring full compatibility and consistent deployment across operations.
