Thread: 4 SDI or 2 HDSDI inputs into Catalyst Jun08

  1. #1

    4 SDI or 2 HDSDI inputs into Catalyst Jun08

    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.

  4. fantastic RIC.
    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.

    its too early to say what hardware or operating system will work well enough.
