Migration & Interoperability
From Legacy to IP-Driven AV: Smooth Migration Without Hardware Lock-In
Most legacy AV systems weren’t built for today’s IP and AI-driven workflows. As a result, vendors face constant issues with incompatible formats, closed DSPs, and costly upgrades.
Promwad solves this with custom gateways and middleware that connect diverse AV standards and protocols — unifying networks without replacing existing infrastructure.

Case Study: Enterprise NAS with DPDK/SPDK & NDI Streaming
High-performance data storage system for multi-camera 8K workflows — built with zero-copy architecture and modular GPU-accelerated hardware.
Challenge
Existing NAS solutions couldn’t handle multi-camera 8K ingest and NDI streaming due to bandwidth limits, latency, and lack of scalable NVMe/CFexpress storage.
Solution
Developed a modular enterprise NAS with DPDK/SPDK zero-copy data paths, custom NVMe/CFexpress storage unit, dual-power design, high-speed PCIe I/O, and GPU-accelerated decoding (RTX A4500/A6000 ADA). Enabled GUI-controlled hot-plugging and seamless NDI streaming.
Result
2–3× higher throughput, stable 8K/60 fps processing, scalable storage, and portable, power-resilient operation. Delivered a future-ready platform for high-bandwidth video production.
