The problem with computers and 2110 IP video networks is the vulnerability to rogue software or even hackers. That’s because anyone can send data to the computer’s Ethernet connection. However DeckLink IP eliminates this problem because all video is transferred using frame buffers. It’s like a video based firewall! This means the DeckLink IP Ethernet port is isolated from anything other than video and audio. Instead, like all DeckLink cards, the video and audio are transferred to on board DeckLink frame buffers where video playback is managed and then converted to 2110 IP video channels. This means it’s totally impossible for rogue software or hackers to access the 2110 IP network directly!

DeckLink IP connections are multi rate so they support all SD and HD formats. Plus the DeckLink IP/SDI HD model includes both 2110 IP and 3G-SDI on the same card, so it can connect to all your existing SDI broadcast equipment, while simultaneously connecting to new IP based infrastructure. Or you can just use the 3G-SDI output for local monitoring! In standard definition, DeckLink IP supports both 525i59.94 and 625i50 standards. In high definition, DeckLink IP cards support all 720p video standards up to 720p60, all 1080 interlaced standards up to 1080i60 and all 1080p standards up to 1080p60. Plus there is no complex change over as the cards can switch instantly to a new video standard.

DeckLink IP HD Optical features 3 channels of video capture and 3 channels of video playback to 2110 IP broadcast systems via an SFP based optical fiber Ethernet connection. It is designed to work with the highest quality video with support for capture and playback to popular video formats such as Apple ProRes, DNxHD or even 10-bit uncompressed. DeckLink IP connections are multi rate so they support 525i, 625i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p video standards up to 1080p60.
