Deltacast Adds Four-Channel Video Card

A developer and manufacturer of state-of-the-art products for the professional TV broadcast market has added the Delta-hd-e 40 to their family of products.
Deltacast have added a new four-channel addition to the Delta-hd range of video cards for OEM applications. The Delta-hd-e 40 doubles the per-slot capability of PCI Express cards to ingest SD or HD-SDI channels to a PC server, allowing developers to design higher-performing and more economical solutions for a variety of professional video applications.
The Delta-hd-e 40 is the latest addition to the highly successful Delta-hd family, designed to take advantage of the increased CPU power of the high-specification servers, and it is supplied in a package with the VideoMasterHD OEM software SDK and with integration support from Deltacast. Offering a feature set including audio and timecode de-embedding, ANC and VBI extraction, uncompressed 8-bit/10-bit/12-bit digital video capture/playback, and system development tools for Microsoft Windows and Linux environments. The Delta-hd-e 40 allows OEMs to build new high-end applications with multiple inputs per PCI Express slot, or cost-effective applications using only one card to provide all the required channels in a single slot.
"In order to manage four channels simultaneously on the same card, we had to use other hardware technologies than those used in the other boards of the Delta-hd family," said Christian Dutilleux, Deltacast Chief Executive Officer. "This technological progress is essential not only for the Delta-hd family, but also for future boards using 3G, DVI, and HDMI formats."
The Delta-hd-e 40 requires a PC or server with at least one free four-lane PCI Express slot and a high-performance CPU capable of handling four HD-SDI streams. The Delta-hd-e 40 will be available for purchase beginning July 2010.
