IP Virtual Card
IP Virtual Card
Besides the well-known VideoMaster SDK dealing with the DELTACAST I/O cards and FLEX products, the DELTACAST portfolio now includes a new SDK (Software Development Kit) component called the IP Virtual Card, offering a new programming interface named VideoMaster IP.
The IP Virtual Card is a new video and multimedia programming interface allowing the use of 3rd-party computer network cards to capture and stream out video just like you are used to do over any DELTACAST card.
Designed from the ground up to allow high-performances multimedia capture and streaming using an off-the-shelf network card, the first version ofthe IP Virtual Card targets ST2110 connectivity.
The IP Virtual Card brings in support for video transport as per ST2110-20, audio transport as per ST2110-30, and ancillary data transport as per ST2110-40. It also includes a PTP synchronization solution compliant to ST2059-1. Thanks to an optimized network stack, the IP Virtual Card insures accurate, PTP locked, media streams compliant to ST2110-21 Type W senders, and it allows implementing ST2110-21 Type A receivers.
The IP Virtual Card implements an optimized network stack based on the operating system sockets, so that it is compatible with any NIC brand and model, and so that it can be used under Windows and Linux, and also targetting virtualization environments and execution in containers. For most demanding applications, the IP Virtual Card also exists in a version based on the DPDK kernel bypass.
Using the IP Virtual Card features requires installing a license. Please contact us for further details about this.
greenMachine HDR Evie+
greenMachine HDR Evie+
The greenMachine HDR Evie+ (Enhanced Video Image Engine), 1 RU half 19” rackmount, is a real-time segmented frame-by-frame broadcast-quality High Dynamic Range (HDR) to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) converter, with frame sync supporting formats up to 4K UHD (3840x2160). It is the world’s first system that uses the advanced algorithm for sectional dynamic tone mapping, which automatically analyzes different sections of an image in HDR stream and applies optimal corrections on a frame by frame basis in real-time. This unique capability is unlike any other solution today. It is the perfect real-time production tool for sports or any live broadcast event needing high-quality real-time HDR to SDR conversions. HDR EVIE+ fits best in the single native HDR workflow reducing the cost of equipment and manual operations.
The sectional dynamic tone mapping technique is applied to several spatial areas (sectors) in the image. In this type of tone mapping technique, the algorithm adjusts the signal by using several dynamic curves, one per image segment/sector. The algorithm then combines the result with global dynamic curves based on the entire image. While the dynamic curves of the different sectors are perfectly adapted to the respective image content of their segments, the global curve is perfectly adapted to the content of the entire image. Depending on the image content within these sectors, the algorithm reacts dynamically, which allows lights and shadows to be treated independently. Therefore, dark areas can be brightened, and the bright areas can be darkened without getting a flat gradation of the image. “
HDR EVIE+ provides a 1x 4K/UHD processing channel supporting down-conversion from HDR transfer characteristics to SDR through appropriate sectional dynamic tone mapping. It also supports the Wide Color Gamut (WCG) needs of broadcasters and professional AV live events requirements. HDR Evie+ package also includes HDR Static configuration for Static HDR SDR conversions, which performs static tone mapping to realize UP/Down/Cross conversions between HDR and SDR, suited best for the studios or the environments where the light conditions do not change dynamically.

L-Band 10 MHz Diplexer
L-Band 10 MHz Diplexer
The new ViaLiteHD L-Band and 10 MHz RF Diplexer unit has been designed to distribute a single 10 MHz reference frequency to all L-band paths on the unit. With low insertion loss, this compact high quality diplexer allows satcom timing to be distributed to all broadcast operational systems. Designed typically for teleport sites for uplink and downlink broadcast operations.
- 50 Ohm SMA
- DC pass through
- 1 W forward power
- 1U 19” Shelf
- 1:8 Split
- Saves chassis card space
- 5-year warranty
Applications
Broadcast Teleport and VSAT broadcast operations.
L-Band RF Splitters
L-Band RF Splitters
The ViaLiteHD RF splitters have been designed to save space in a 19” ViaLite chassis by negating the need to have a splitter module installed. This allows more capacity for fiber links.
The RF splitters have enough capacity to locally split the output from a fully populated 19” ViaLite chassis. Therefore, they are ideal for broadcasters where redundancy applications need to be considered. The solution comes in two types: 50 & 75 Ohm, which are fitted with either SMA or BNC connectors accordingly.
- 50 or 75 Ohm RF port
- DC pass through
- 700 MHz to 3 GHz range
- 10 W max forward power
- 1U 19” shelf
- 13 inputs 1:2 Split
- SMA or BNC options
Applications
Broadcast Satcom Uplinks, SNG Vehicles, VSAT broadcast operations, Master control centre redundancy operations.
C-Band 3.4-7.1 GHz (500 MHz – 7.5 GHz)
C-Band 3.4-7.1 GHz (500 MHz – 7.5 GHz)
ViaLite‘s new C-Band RF over fiber link covers 3.4 – 7.1 GHz, and has a full operational range of 500 MHz – 7.5 GHz. The range includes the ITU-R radio regulations frequency for fixed satellite – earth to space (7.075 GHz). The link is available as a rack chassis card or new purple OEM module.
By removing the need to down-convert signals to an IF band, the link cuts running costs and reduces overall system costs. It can also boost reliability as there are fewer components in a system. The OEM module has also been designed to use minimal power, resulting in lower running costs and total cost of ownership.
- C-Band 3.4 – 7.1 GHz
- Full frequency range covered by link is 500 MHz – 7.5 GHz
- No IF down conversion needed
- Up to 50 km range
- Rack chassis card or OEM module
- SNMP monitoring & control available with the rack chassis card
- 5-year warranty
The ViaLiteHD C-Band Link is suitable for Satcom, Broadcast, Weather Radar, Wireless CCTV (5 GHz products), Telemetry and Defence applications.
It is used to transport C-Band signals from dishes to:

- Broadcast headends
- Outdoor broadcast trucks
- Weather radar
The C-Band Link is available in two formats, each housing either the Tx or Rx module.
