VEGA-3000 is a single slot, half length PCIe card which performs High Definition 1080p60 video raw data encapsulating/de-encapsulating for transmission across a 10Gbps Ethernet network. Using a power-efficient FPGA from Xilinx, HVC-8800 supports the proposed standard SMPTE 2022-6 (High Bit Rate Media Transport over IP Networks), which
describes the encapsulation and de-encapsulation of video to and from IP networks with RTP protocol, and proposed standard SMPTE 2022-5 (Forward Error Correction for High Bit Rate Real-Time Video/Audio Transport over IP) to improve resilience to bit errors and packet loss. VEGA-3000 operates either as a transmitter or receiver functions, selectable using a jumper on the board. The transmitter mode encapsulates video raw data from SDI input or PCI Express interface according to SMPTE-2022 and sends by 10G Ethernet to receiver
card side. Conversely, in receiver mode, the card receives SMPTE-2022 packets via 10G Ethernet interface and recovers video raw data for SDI output or via PCIe interface. With an easy-to-use software development kit (SDK), VEGA-3000 is an ideal solution for system integrators to implement versatile video over IP functions in a variety of applications including cloud video acquisition, video over IP bridge, and networked broadcast studio installations.
