Universal Signal Acquisition & Router Hub

Normalize physical SDI, HDMI, NDI, SRT, and RTMP into stable internal feeds.

Signal normalization matrix that ingests varied physical and network video streams, strips packet jitter, synchronizes clocks, and converts color spaces into pristine internal studio feeds.

Multi-protocol signal ingest:DeckLink SDI, HDMI 2.1, NDI 6, SRT Caller/Listener, RTMP, and RTSP
Hardware-accelerated decoding:Zero-copy GPU ingest pipelines via NVIDIA NVDEC and Intel QuickSync
Direct3D texture sharing:Unified GPU texture sharing passing input frames directly to playout and multiviewer
Audio track demuxing:Ingestion of up to 16 embedded audio channels with flexible matrix cross-routing

Hardware Frame Synchronizer & De-Jitter Buffer

Prevent frame tearing and audio pitch glitches when switching live remotes.

Built-in broadcast frame synchronizer aligns unsynchronized remote contribution feeds to the station reference clock. Dynamic de-jitter buffering prevents packet loss artifacts on public internet links.

Genlock frame alignment:Hardware frame synchronizer preventing tearing when cutting between unsynced feeds
Adaptive audio rate conversion:Sample rate converters preventing pitch shifts, audio clicks, and drift
SRT ARQ packet recovery:Dynamic de-jitter buffering handling up to 30% packet loss on internet links
Reference clock locking:Internal master clock sync locking all asynchronous feeds to broadcast standards

Real-Time De-Interlacing & Color Space Management

Convert interlaced 1080i to progressive 1080p with studio-grade algorithms.

GPU-accelerated video filtering converting interlaced broadcast feeds into high-quality progressive frames using motion-adaptive YADIF algorithms. Performs accurate Rec.709 to Rec.2020 color mapping.

Motion-adaptive de-interlacing:High-quality GPU YADIF algorithms converting 1080i to progressive 1080p
Automated aspect ratio conversion:Pillarbox, letterbox, and anamorphic stretch handling without distortion
3D LUT color management:Real-time camera color grading and HDR-to-SDR (Rec.2020 to Rec.709) tone mapping
Video levels legalizer:Broadcast gamut legalizer preventing luminance and chrominance out-of-gamut spikes

Loss-of-Signal Safeguards & Automatic Cut-to-Slate

Ensure on-air stability even when remote contribution feeds disconnect.

Continuous signal health supervisor monitoring incoming video feeds. If a live remote link fails or freezes, the system automatically triggers a clean cut to an emergency slate or backup video feed.

Sub-second black/freeze detection:Automated visual health supervisors with configurable alarm thresholds
Automatic cut-to-slate fallback:Seamless failover to secondary live feed, standby video loop, or graphic slate
Audio silence detection:Automated silence detectors triggering emergency backup audio bed playback
Restoration hysteresis:Stable return switching ensuring links remain glitch-free before cutting back
