I have been working with active silicon to get more hdsdi/sdi inputs with low latency for Catalyst.
Cards will each have 2 sdi inputs - or 1x hdsdi input each.
Cards will be pci-express for intel only.
Initially supporting 2 cards in Catalyst for 4 sdi or 2 hdsdi inputs in total.
Initial availability is June 08.
Please contact
With email subject "Phoenix SDI for Catalyst"
info@activesilion.com
for pricing, availability.
Thanks Richard
That's pretty excellent. Do you know any stats yet? Lower latency then Deck Link cards?

doesnt have to go through quicktime layer - so latency will be closer to LFG4 -
Decklink digitising is done through quicktime - and this algorithm prioritizes capturing frames to a disc - so buffers inputs for up to 2 seconds.
Testing is ongoing.
fantastic RIC.:D
i will contact andrew soon.
thanks.

Let's take the fact that there is already built in control for matrix switchers and all of a sudden we have a full blown switching system.
Four inputs means we could do:
Input 1: Up Stream Key
Input 2&3: Preview/Program
Input 4: Down Stream Key
Oh and it would be so easy to develop a little switcher control interface and with the right web interface....
Oh Wow how the ideas start to blossom.
Richard,
Will these inputs support HD or SD or Both?
have to see what happens with testing on a variety of platforms.Quote:

Im going to be demoing new sdi inputs on 21st April 2008 in farringdon london
Please email me richard at samsc.com if you want to come
Thanks
How did the demo go? Does anyone that went have any comments about it?

Hi Andrew Atienza, i spoked about ANDREW BUGLASS FROM active silicon.
How are you working with CatalystV4 in MINNESOTA at moment???
bye
looks like i can manage 2 x hdsdi or 4xsdi inputs with 2 cards -
Jan mac pro leopard 10.5.2 8800
Will probably upgrade expected spec to 2xhdsdi and 4xsdi inputs - with 2 cards.
still need more testing on different platforms.
im going to be in the usa next month - will try and organise a demo there.Quote:

That's great. As luck would have it I will be out of the country at that time. Is that the only demo in the states that you plan on doing?
Chris
when are you back? email me.
