From April 16 to April 19, 2007 DVS will present its latest OEM product, Hydra, a JPEG2000 board that offers customers decompression of JPEG2000 in SD, HD and 2K in real time.
Hydra is a PCI-X board for uncompressed input and output of audio and video material as well as for decompression of JPEG2000 in real time. Hydra supports SD, HD, 2K, and further formats specified by DCI and offers 16 AES/EBU or embedded audio channels.
Hydra performs decoding and decompression of JPEG2000 material for Digital Cinema applications. These processes take place in real time from SD, HD and 2K material as well as several other formats specified by the DCI (Digital Cinema Initiative)
. The data can be received as RGB, YUV or X’Y’Z’ data in MXF or JP2 and the hardware extracts the components from the MXF file when necessary.
Up to two dual-link 4:4:4 or three single-link 4:2:2 channels are supported simultaneously. The new I/O board is ideal for implementing stereoscopic display applications in Digital Cinema, multi-channel applications in broadcast or multi-screen applications in the presentation area.
All OEM boards from DVS are equipped with a new SDK that allows the assignment of independent I/O links as separate audio and video streams. Centaurus II performs a downscaling of 2K to HD and HD to SD.
