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.

Smart-telecaster Zao-S
Smart-telecaster Zao-S
The Zao-S is a portable video H.265 HEVC encoder that compresses video in real-time, enabling full HD live video streaming to anywhere from anywhere, all while on the move. The equipped H.265 video compression is the most efficient standard for encoding and compression on the market today. As a result, the Zao-S enables constant HD video quality, low latency, and the freedom to transmit live video from across the globe. The Zao-S is made in Japan and features the high quality craftsmanship that Japanese products are known for. The Zao-S is constantly being improved as our engineers develop new features and increase its capabilities.
Sophisticated Multi-Network Bonding Technology - RASCOW
The Zao-S allows up to 3 external USB modems to be bonded together to form a single connection via 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, and/or satellite. When transmitting video live over the mobile network, many factors such as the carriers being used, cell tower locations, and varying bandwidth levels affect video quality. Our proprietary protocol, RASCOW, monitors these factors along with the changing mobile signal strength in real-time and adapts the most optimum bonded combination of the network connections. The Zao-S, with the RASCOW protocol, continues to reliably send high quality video even when signal strengths become low or fluctuate rapidly.
Sleek. Compact. Mobile.
The Zao-S maximizes mobility without sacrificing quality. Due to its lightness (about 350g) and portability, the Zao-S can be carried with a body strap or be mounted on a camera. The compact design, and one hour internal battery, make the Zao-S an excellent choice for drone applications as well.
