Description
FEATURES
- Four ports fully configurable from software:
– Input or output
– 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI or DVB-ASI
– 3G-SDI ports can be configured to operate in level A or level B mode - Bi-level and tri-level genlock input port, or digital genlock through port 1
- Two RS-422 ports for connection to a deck
- On-board 1/4 and 1/16 hardware video scaler for reducing PCIe bus bandwidth
- Sophisticated DMA engine
- DekTec Matrix API framework takes care of all the plumbing for creating robust real-time SDI processing applications.
- Free drivers and SDK (DTAPI with DekTec Matrix API included) for 32 and 64-bit Windows and Linux
APPLICATIONS
- Generation, reception and processing of uncompressed UHD signals
- General purpose processing of a mix of 3G-SDI, HD-SDI and/or ASI signals
- Live production mixer and effect generators
- SDI monitoring, recording and/or play-out
DekTec 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.
- Access functions for embedding or de-embedding audio or other ANC data.
- Supports all 16-audio channels.
- Integrated and fully compatible with DTAPI.
