Add-ons
- Embedded Downscaler Add-On: Proxy x1 & x2 decoding (ie. decode directly HD resolution or 4K resolution from 8K XS-compressed video stream) and reduce your CPU or GPU load.
- FFmpeg Add-On : connect directly the intoPIX SDK to FFmpeg
- Insertion/Extraction of Color Specification box / Video Support box from JPEG-XS part 3
- SDI Mapping Add-On: enables users to map 4K/8K effciently over existing 3G/HD-SDI cables. This unique feature reformats the XS codestream to fully map the SDI active area avoiding the forbidden EAV/SAV codes, offering a 20% gain of compression/quality performances.
MAGIC ACX Dante™ WAN Bridge
MAGIC ACX Dante™ WAN Bridge
The audio connection for the audio inputs/outputs is provided by the integrated 32-channel Dante™ interface, which has redundant GbE interfaces and of course also supports AES67.
The comfortable operating software allows the management of up to 10 systems including graphic surveillance and can be operated from up to 5 workplaces simultaneously.
The front display of the system also shows essential information on the status of the transmission.
The coding is done via PCM16 / PCM24 / PCM32.
Since the limited maximum latency of Dante in wide area networks, high jitter and possible clock differences between sender and receiver prevent a reliable transmission, the MAGIC ACX Dante™ Wan Bridge solves these problems with a jitter buffer including automatic mode and intelligent sample rate adaption (SRA).
Videon EdgeCaster Edge Compute Encoder
Videon EdgeCaster Edge Compute Encoder
Videon EdgeCaster edge compute encoders enable ultra-low-latency live streaming at an ultra-low cost. Efficiently handling transcoding, format repackaging from RTMP to HLS/DASH, and creation of multiple bit rates at the network edge, EdgeCaster devices bypass a layer of cloud-based processing and, in turn, reduce latency to as little as <4 seconds while cutting the average user’s streaming costs by 50%. The EdgeCaster offers higher performance and a lower fixed cost per stream in addressing the requirements of delay-sensitive video applications, as well as applications with high-volume streaming to limited numbers of viewers per stream.
Videon VersaStreamer Video Streaming/Recording System
Videon VersaStreamer Video Streaming/Recording System
The Videon VersaStreamer all-in-one video streaming and recording system provides unparalleled flexibility in simultaneous streaming to multiple platforms and destinations — social media, video sharing sites, a CDN for streaming via a website, or even a local network or display. With multiple simultaneous RTMP outputs, HEVC/H.264 support, MPEG-TS support, and streaming bit rates up to 30 Mbps, as well as recording to a backup USB, VersaStreamer gives the pro AV and broadcast markets the exceptional versatility, robust feature set, and attractive price point ideal for lower-cost 1080p H.264 streaming or for 4K HEVC streaming.
TICO-XS IP cores
TICO-XS is a smart upgrade path to manage higher resolutions (4K, 8K, …) and frame rates while assuring visual quality, keeping power and bandwidth at a reasonable budget and significantly reducing the complexity and cost of a system, a chip or an infrastructure.
Applications:
From 3G-SDI to IP in 4K
The mapping of the TICO-XS mezzanine compression to carry UHDTV 4K 60P over a single 3G-SDI cable has been specified in the SMPTE RDD35. intoPIX provides the needed building blocks to create a 4K over 3G-SDI solutions. Have a look at the intoPIX TICO-XS IP-cores and peripheral IP to map the compression over SDI.
4K with TICO compression over SMPTE2022-6
As SMPTE ST2022-6, defines the transport of HD-SDI or 3G-SDI over IP, using TICO-XS, it is easy to leverage an existing SMPTE 2022-6 system to carry up to three UHDTV 4K 60P streams over a single 10 GbE port using the SMPTE 2022-6 standard.
SMPTE 2110 and TICO compression
SMPTE ST2110-22 specifies the transport of compressed video over IP (including JPEG-XS), enabling you to transport any video formats over IP with full flexibility and all the benefits of TICO-XS compression.
8K over a single 10GbE
It has already been proven. TICO-XS can enable you to carry with lossless quality a 8K 60fps video stream over a single 10GbE link using TICO RTP payload and a SMPTE 2110-22 transport.
8K over a single 12G-SDI
It has already been proven. TICO-XS can enable you to carry a 8K 60fps video stream over a single 12G-SDI link with lossless quality.
