Video transmissions gain complexity in commercial, industrial, medical, and military applications as users depend on detailed images for various applications. To handle some of the growing complexity, Delta Digital Video, a division of Delta Information Systems Inc., has developed the enhanced model 5584E four-channel video encoder.
The 5584E operates with an H.265 video-compression algorithm for real-time streaming of high-definition (HD) and standard-definition (SD) full-motion video (FMV) at transmission rates from 64 kb/s to better than 2 Mb/s. The rugged encoder also processes audio signals and comes in a conduction-cooled industrial housing with an operating temperature range of –40 to +71°C.
The encoder is MISB-compliant and supports synchronous and asynchronous metadata via SDI-VANC, serial, and Ethernet ports. It supports multichannel HD video, composite video, 4K UHD video, as well as all SDI video format at rates to 12 Gb/s.
George Nelson, general manager of Delta Digital Video, said, “We are excited to launch the new 4K feature to meet the needs for enhanced video processing as our customers’ video distribution infrastructures become more sophisticated. The 5584E provides integrators the flexibility they need with support for composite/480i, and all formats to 12G/160p.”
The four-channel video encoder (see image above) can simultaneously encode four channels of video with resolution as high as 1080p or single-channel resolution as high as 2160p. It provides an in-band Ethernet transport stream for remote control and operates over a wide range of supply voltages from +9 to +36 V dc. The encoder features low 50-ms latency between channels and performs audio compression via MPEG-1, Layer I/II techniques. The unit is designed for ease of integration into most video networks, with video inputs at 75 Ω and audio inputs at 10 kΩ.
