Description
DTA-2154 Features
- Each port can be configured from software as input or output, and as ASI, SD-SDI or HD-SDI, in any combination
- Hardware separates HANC, VANC, video with simultaneous access to full frames
- On-board 1/4 or 1/16 video scaling
- Bi-level and tri-level genlock input port, or digital genlock through port 1
- Two RS-422 ports for connection to a deck
- PCI Express x4 gen3 for high performance
- Free drivers and SDK (DTAPI with Matrix API) for 32- and 64-bit Windows and Linux
Matrix API
- Organizes incoming HD-SDI data in a matrix of frame buffers, so that frames can be accessed as a function of port number and time
- Synchronization of multiple input streams is straightforward: Frames with the same arrival time are stored in the same column
- Read or write to individual lines, HANC, VANC or full frame
- Functions for embedding or de-embedding audio or other ANC data
- All 16 audio channels can be read/written
- Integrated and fully compatible with DTAPI
DTA-2154 Applications
- General purpose processing of a mix of HD-SDI and/or ASI signals
