Laboratories support SMPTE conformity testing
New video and broadcast applications engineering labs have been opened by Gennum, allowing its customers to test and debug standard and high definition based systems.
A working demonstration of the GS1590 can be viewed at IBC (Booth 10.400).
The SMPTE 305M SDTI standard has emerged as the way to move packetised data between digital equipment in broadcast and post-production facilities because it uses the existing SDI infrastructure, and eliminates unnecessary compression/decompression generations.
The standard also enables faster than real-time transfers.
The GS1590, a member of the HD-LINX II product family, supports SD as well as HD data rates (all SMPTE 259M and 292M formats).
The GS1590 is configurable as an encoder or decoder of packetised data of fixed or variable block size, including DVCPRO (SMPTE 321M), SDTI-CP (SMPTE 326M), DVCAM (SMPTE 322M), Digital-S and other user-configurable formats.
It contains the world's first SDTI implementation of ECC, which provides robust data transmission and error recovery.
In addition, the device also offers automatic detection of the input data format (SDI/DVB-ASI/SDTI).
