Sapec: European debuts of Sivac-One and Laguna at IBC 2024

The new interfaces of the Sivac-One and Laguna encoding and decoding solutions from Sapec they land on IBC 2024 to demonstrate the adaptability of the Spanish firm to the latest UHD and IP requirements of the industry.

The modular platform with encoding and decoding UHD-HDR based on ultra-low latency FPGA Sapec, the model Sivac-One, premieres within the framework of IBC 2024 a new one 12G interface in modalities optical and electrical. This solution, demanded by those broadcasters who seek to exploit the maximum potential of ultra high definition, has already been used in highly demanding productions.

On the other hand, the company releases after its debut in NAB 2024 the expected interface Laguna SMPTE 2110, an addition that makes the multichannel platform UHD/HD/SD compatible with the set of standards for sending and receiving feeds IP. The device, available in versions Single (single channel) Dual (two channels), Quad (four channels) and Octal (eight channels), also shows for the first time at IBC its compatibility with RIST. This protocol promoted by Video Service Forum offers bonding capabilities; correction of packets in case of loss that can reach up to 45% of the content; support for multicast, and compatibility with different encryption systems such as PSK (Pre-Shared Key) or DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security).

In addition to showing the H.264/MPEG-2 with integrated modulator Steps II or its innovative flag system with cameras The CornerCam, the company takes advantage of the Dutch event to show news from partners such as Video-Mos, which premieres within the framework of the fair an optimized version of your AI engine, which reduces the computational load and increases the precision in the semantic measurement of the quality of experience (QoE) of the reference-free video.

Success stories in Paris 2024 and UEFA Euro 2024 together with RTVE

Those attending IBC 2024 They will also be able to discover from the Sapec team the role of their star solutions in two of the biggest sporting events of this year: the Paris Olympic Games and the UEFA Euro 2024.

Sivac-One played a key role in covering RTVE of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Radio and television used twelve couples encoder / decoder of the platform to transport the UHD signals from their capture in their studio in Trocadero and the IBC in Paris (France), to Torrespaña (Madrid). RTVE also benefited from Sivac-One's ability to transport content with the SRT standard; a solution of backup which proved to be very useful during the development of the event. The tool contributed to achieving a global milestone: the first open broadcast of an event in UHD via DTT.

Additionally, Laguna was used by RTVE in the UEFA Euro 2024 and the Paris Olympic Games, as the Sapec team details in its IBC 2024 stand.
