DVEO Launches Affordable Single Channel Multi-standard
SD-SDI & HD-SDI Input or Output Card with Auto Detection
July 1, 2009
Source: DVEO
DVEO, the broadcast division of CMI, is
now shipping their newest SD-SDI and HD-SDI input or output
card targeted for use in video servers and workstations.
HD-SDI Master I or O PCIe LP is a single channel HD/SD-SDI
(SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 259M) input or output card. A simple
firmware change converts the input card to an output card,
and vice-versa -- providing the functionality of two cards
for the price of one.
Supported standards include 1080i and 720p at 50 Hz, 60 Hz
and 59.94 Hz rates, and 1080p at 23.97 Hz, 24 Hz, 25 Hz, 29.97
Hz and 30 Hz. HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M) is the primary interface
worldwide for High Definition digital uncompressed video.
SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M) is the primary interface for Standard
Definition digital video. On board DDR memory and a proprietary
firmware design are used to buffer the transmit data to account
for system latency as the data flows from the PCIe bus.
The input features for the HD-SDI Master I or O PCIe LP include
automatic standards detection between 720 and 1080, automatic
cable equalization, and input monitoring of CRC errors. The
output mode features tri-level sync input for transmit frame
and rate synchronization, so transmit streams can be synchronized
with other HD/SD-SDI streams for switching, editing and overlays.
Software support includes free drivers for Linux®, Windows
XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows® Server 2008,
plus full DirectShow support. A developer API, as well
as sample applications, are also provided.
"We're proud to help broadcasters, production companies,
and corporate media departments meet the fast-growing demand
for HD content," said Laszlo Zoltan, Sales Manager for
DVEO. "Our HD-SDI Master card is ideal for HD-SDI servers,
post-processing, capturing or sending HD or SD video, and
electronic news gathering. And because it can switch between
receiving and transmitting, it is an excellent value."
The new single channel HD-SDI card will be featured in Europe
at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam,
September 11-15, at Stand 2.C33.
