Crystal Vision will show more applications with IP/SDI video delay and color correctors at IBC 2019

It will release the latest software applications for its flexible Marble-V1 media processor hardware, with Marble's combination of SDI and IP I/O, making the transition between SDI, ST 2022 and ST 2110 easy.

At Stand 2.B59 of IBC 2019, Crystal Vision will release the latest software applications for your flexible hardware Marble-V1 media processor, with the combination of SDI and Marble IP I/O, making the transition between SDI, ST 2022 and ST 2110 easy.

Each software application can operate with IP, with SDI, or with IP and SDI at the same time, providing the easiest possible upgrade from SDI to IP, as well as being perfect for mixed SDI and IP installations.

These applications, which can be replaced as needs change, offer functionality such as video delay, synchronization, color correction, IP to IP processing and gateways, with different versions available to assist those working in an IP, SDI or mixed SDI/IP environments. The rest of the interface and range of coding products, including the delay generator Cleanit and the Sapphires 3 chroma keyer en tiempo real, estarán disponibles para demostración en la nueva ubicación de Crystal Vision frente al pabellón 2.

Una tarjeta alojada en el marco Vision, el procesador de media flexible Marble-V1 con un potente procesador de CPU / GPU, seis conexiones SDI bidireccionales, cuatro puertos de interfaz de red SFP + de 10 GbE y ocho canales estéreo AES bidireccionales discretos. La funcionalidad de Marble-V1 proviene de la instalación de una aplicación de software, con aplicaciones que se adquieren con el hardware que se puede reemplazar con diferentes aplicaciones a medida que cambian las necesidades, lo que ayuda a los ingenieros de transmisión a aprovechar al máximo sus presupuestos.

Initial applications for Marble-V1 were IP gateways and IP-to-IP gateways to make adjustments to IP flows. Now joined by 4 more applications that provide powerful solutions for a wide range of IP and SDI video delay and color correction requirements.

Video delay

Crystal Vision will launch two video delay software applications at IBC: the VIVID1-IPSDI single channel and VIVID2-IPSDI dual channel. Both software applications can work with IP, with SDI, or with IP and SDI at the same time. This makes them equally suitable for IP environments, for SDI installations that will soon switch to IP, and for mixed SDI and IP installations where the video delays can be connected to both the SDI section and the IP section on any combination of SDI and IP inputs and outputs. The applications work with SMPTE ST 2022 and ST 2110 video.

They are ideal for matching any extended 3Gb/s, HD or SD system delays, such as those caused by virtual studio graphics, MPEG encoders and decoders, audio processing, HD radio links and satellite links. VIVID1-IPSDI provides up to 800 frames of video delay, which is 16 seconds in 3Gb/s and 32 seconds in HD and SD. VIVID2-IPSDI provides up to 400 frames of video delay per channel, so eight seconds in 3Gb/s and 16 seconds in HD and SD.

Both applications include a frame storage synchronizer that allows engineers to delay and synchronize at the same time. These are not the industry's first video delays to offer IP connectivity, they also introduce an SDI video delay to the Vision frame system for the first time (with the easiest upgrade path possible), as well as include IP to SDI and SDI to IP gateway functionality.

Color correction

Also making their debut at the Crystal Vision Booth are two color correction software applications, the single channel COCO1-IP and the double channel COCO2-IP. Al igual que los retardos de video, las aplicaciones de software de corrección de color pueden funcionar con IP, con SDI o con IP y SDI al mismo tiempo, ofreciendo la actualización SDI a IP sencilla, además de ser perfectas para instalaciones mixtas de SDI e IP además de entornos IP exclusivamente. Las aplicaciones funcionan con video SMPTE ST 2022 y ST 2110.

Ideal for manipulating colors to correct camera or lighting problems or to standardize images taken at different times, it functions for adjusting colors on injection monitors, positioning before an encoder to establish the range of colors to be transmitted, and correcting computer-generated or post-production outputs.

The apps offer a wide range of color correction tools including RGB Gain, RGB Lift, YUV Gain, YUV Lift, Video Gain, Chroma Gain, Chroma Hue, and overall and individual RGB Gamma adjustment, while also including a legalizer. The COCO1-IP and COCO2-IP are the Broadcast industry's first IP color correctors, giving the Vision frame system an SDI color corrector for the first time (with support for even more SDI video standards – 31 – than the Indigo frame version) and also including IP to SDI and SDI to IP gateway functionality.
Other products on display at the Crystal Vision booth include the new Cleanit audio and video delay generating system, which allows the transmission of live content to be delayed by up to 20 seconds (in HD), giving the operator time to react and prevent the transmission of unwanted messages or inappropriate video or audio material.

Disponible para compra o periodos cortos de alquiler, Cleanit ya se ha utilizado para una amplia gama de aplicaciones, desde transmisiones de televisión hasta la transmisión por Internet de eventos de eGaming. IBC también brinda a los visitantes la oportunidad de probar el chroma keyer en tiempo real Safire 3, con su flujo de trabajo simple e intuitivo para configurar una clave, soporte para resoluciones de SD a 1080p y características como compensación de iluminación, corrección de color y retrardo de video para ayudar a resolver problemas comunes.
