Four/Eight RGB/DVI signals fed into Ventuz

May/28 2009 by Ralf

The same solution for RGB/VGA/DVI as shown in my previous post is available from NTI Network Technology Inc.

NTI, DVI Quad Screen Splitter

In combination with the new DELTACAST-DVI input board and Ventuz a very interesting solution to feed in multiple HiRes signals.

By using two of these boxes, the two inputs of the deltacast will provide eight DVI signals in Ventuz – of course only 50% of their original resolution.

Four SD/HD SDI signals fed as quad split into Ventuz

May/28 2009 by Ralf

If you need to display multiple HD SDI signals in Ventuz, but the full resolution is not required (onair promotion and previews) you could use the DECIMATOR-QUAD from REDBYTE Design. This unit receives 4 SDI signals and combines them into a single output by scaling them down. The resulting SDI output gets captured by the DELTACAST HD boards into Ventuz Professional or Broadcast Edition. The second input of the DELTACAST board could be used to input one out of the four quads in full resolution. In combination with a synchronized 4×1 switcher controlled by Ventuz serial I/O nodes make this a very feasable solution for multiple video inputs.

Btw, these 4 inputs don’t need to be the same format and frequency!

We haven’t tested the box yet, but we would like to know your opinion or test results.

JUST FIGURED OUT THAT THIS BOX ONLY PROVIDES SD ON OUTPUT – BUT STILL INTERESTING!

Ventuz vs. Champions League

May/27 2009 by Marc

Howdy!

Wanna see some idiots…come to our office! We were wondering why we got only a few participants for our Ventuz-Get-together-and-hands-on-session tonight.

Thanks to Google, I know now why ……

Little hintSince Christiano Ronaldo is in the final, even the Ladies refused to join us tonight.

Usually it is from 6pm till 9pm…….hopefully we can shorten it a little bit, I promise not to stop at red lights on my way home….. ;-) Ventuz Hamburg is addicted to soccer!
