Macnica Americas has released the MAI3140, a silicon transceiver capable
of transporting up to 8 channels of SDI video over a standard 10Gb
Ethernet network. The device comes in transmit and receive versions to
allow a complete Ethernet link to be implemented. Forward error
correction is added to the transmitted data making the link lossless –
important to prevent dropped video frames and video flickering and / or
freezing.
The device accepts video in the form of 3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SD-SDI,
encapsulates the video streams in UDP/IP + RTP, adds error correction
and transmits the traffic through a standard XAUI 10GbE interface. A
companion device receives the data, performs any needed error correction
and outputs the video streams in the format received.
The device is fully compliant with SMPTE2022 clause 1/2 and 5/6 ensuring
compatibility with any third party equipment also using the standard.
The amount of forward error correction can be varied by increasing the
FEC matrix stored in external memory and a per-channel basis.
Applications for the device include broadcast video transport equipment,
video switching in studios, remote surgical applications, surveillance
and aggregation of multiple HD camera streams to a single storage device
or display.
The MAI3140 is available immediately.
Macnica Americas Inc. (MAI) is a technology company based in San Diego.
