Leading Innovation for the New IP Video InfrastructureAdvantech’s media processing products are designed to boost video infrastructure equipment performance at the lowest power budget while fully complying with the broadcast industry standards. By allowing OEMs to take advantage of the latest processing technologies we facilitate the deployment of new scalable and flexible video solutions with the best time to market. In addition, Advantech’s proven expertise in networking and computing solutions enables us to lead innovation in the IP transition of the industry and get our customers ahead of the curve.

Here are the principal issues confronting the industry and how we can help.

Advantech has invested heavily in dedicated resources to develop the essential building blocks that enable the deployment of innovative and integrative video infrastructure solutions, including video acquisition, video transport, video processing and video distribution. With Advantech, you are not limited to a standard products offering alone. Our flexible design approach allows OEMs to easily partner with Advantech on customized versions of commercial-off-the-shelf products, a framework we call Customized COTS. We are also open to engage on full custom designs. The advantage of Customized COTS is its “best of both worlds” approach enabling OEMs to differentiate with unique premium solutions that leverage the cost benefits of full custom ODM designs and offer a significantly faster time to market.

One of the major disruptors in the industry is the migration to IP that improves flexibility, reduces costs, and allows more use of commercial computing and networking gear. Advantech accelerates this transition by bridging the SDI and IP worlds. Advantech works with key industry partners such as Sony on standard solutions that unlock the full potential of the new IP video infrastructure.

The advent of H.265/HEVC and UltraHD/4K are a double whammy for the industry, together significantly outstripping the processing capability of many infrastructure elements. Advantech provides a wide range of easy-to-integrate video acceleration cards and application-ready platforms that efficiently upgrade throughput of video infrastructure solutions to run next generation UHD services.

A move to IP also opens the landscape for the latest cloud architecture initiatives like software-based solutions and virtualization, but some aspects of video processing are less than optimal in a generic cloud environment. Advantech acceleration technology offloads heavy-lifting video processing tasks to enable higher density, cloud-ready solutions that bring data center efficiencies to the future video infrastructure.

VEGA-3000 Series

Advantech accompanies customers on their migration to IP based media by offering a wide range of products that can be used in the construction of the new IP video infrastructure. Advantech supports industry standards such as SMPTE 2022 and Sony IP Live to help solve the technical and interoperability challenges of 4K IP video transport.

▪ SMPTE 2022-6 interfacing for transporting uncompressed video signals over IP ▪ Forward Error Correction according to SMTPE 2022-5 ▪ 3-ch SDI-3G video interfaces ▪ 1x 10GbE & 1x GbE ports ▪ Half-length PCIe card

▪ Sony IP Live interfacing for transporting UHD/HD AV signals over IP ▪ Sony Low Latency Video Compression (LLVC) mezzanine codec ▪ Dual 10GbE and GbE ports ▪ Half-length PCIe card

The Advantech VEGA-3000 adapter implements the SMPTE 2022-5/6 standards for transporting high bit rate media over IP networks. A key requirement for the transition to IP in the industry is a way to connect existing SDI-based cameras and equipment to the IP infrastructure that implements the new connectivity. The VEGA-3000 PCIe card effectively creates up to three “virtual SDI” channels within a 10GbE network link, and bridges each channel either to a physical SDI connection or to a logical server port across the PCI Express bus. When the board is configured in standalone mode, it can be installed in a small single or multiple-card enclosure to create a multi-port gateway device without the need for a host.

Advantech has teamed up with Sony and other industry leaders to collaborate in the development of a multi-vendor IP infrastructure that enables efficient distribution of AV media in 4K live production workflows. The Advantech VEGA-3001 adapter provides an easy-to-integrate interface card that fits a 4Kp60 video signal, including audio and metadata, into a single 10GbE link. The VEGA-3001 also supports redundancy schemes and high precision synchronization which are essential for live productions.

VEGA-3300 Series

The new High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) significantly reduces bit rates when compared to its predecessor, H.264. It is particularly relevant for UHD which requires much higher capacity. But these improvements come at high computational cost with up to 48 server-class cores typically required to perform real-time software-based 4K HEVC broadcast encoding.

▪ 1-ch 2160p or 4-ch 1080p @ 60 fps real-time HEVC Main 4:2:2 10-bit encoding ▪ Less than 15W power consumption ▪ Half-length, low profile PCIe card

▪ 4K video capture over built-in 4-ch SDI-3G, HDMI 2.0 or Display Port 1.2 video inputs ▪ 1-ch 2160p or 4-ch 1080p @ 60 fps real-time HEVC Main 4:2:2 10-bit encoding ▪ Less than 35W power consumption ▪ Half-length PCIe card

Advantech VEGA-3300 and VEGA-3301 encoder accelerator cards enable real-time HEVC encoding at up to 20x less power consumption than a software-only solution. Traditional server hardware is not well suited to video processing, especially when multiple high bit rate channels require manipulation. Advantech’s compact plug-in encode accelerators provide video equipment manufacturers with the technology to accelerate this part of the workflow without otherwise losing capacity or adding more servers, helping them successfully address the challenges of UHD video processing in a cost-effective manner. Using offload acceleration allows a server to do more of what it is good at, and significantly reduces power, cost and footprint of high-density solutions.

The VEGA-3300 and VEGA-3301 PCI Express adapters are tailored for the video infrastructure and are capable of performing real-time, broadcast-quality 4Kp60 Main10 4:2:2 profile HEVC encoding at less than 15W and 35W power consumption respectively. The VEGA-3300 targets file or stream-based encoding workflows in a low-profile adapter format to facilitate the integration of multiple accelerators in a range of servers and appliances. The VEGA-3301 adapter additionally features 4K video capture over built-in 4-ch SDI-3G, HDMI 2.0 or Display Port video inputs for acquisitionbased encoding. Both cards feature a simple-to-use API and example code for FFmpeg and GStreamer multimedia frameworks to streamline new product development and their integration into existing applications.

With lower power offloading and standard IP technologies comes the potential of adopting more efficient cloud architectures within the video infrastructure. Advantech’s system integration capabilities help customers leverage Advantech’s technology to create fully integrated video platforms that reduce time-to-market and in-house development efforts.

The media industry is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the fundamental change in video consumers’ behaviour that disrupts the traditional business model. Broadcasters and service providers are looking to optimize their operations and monetize the big opportunities that the online media era brings. Advantech helps video equipment manufacturers lead the media workflow transformation with products that address its current upheaval, the processing impact of UHD and the widescale move to IP.

▪ 1U short depth Video Server with 4 PCIe expansion slots for VEGA-3xxx adapters ▪ Up to 4 channels of 4K (2160p60) real-time HEVC 10bit 4:2:2 video encoding ▪ Supports traditional SDI/HDMI + new SMPTE 2022-5/6 and Sony IP Live Video I/O ▪ Intel® Xeon® Processor D series with multiple 1GbE and 10GbE network ports ▪ Integrated software framework to streamline video application development

Advantech’s enabling technology can be used to create a new breed of cloud media platform that improves cost and efficiency of high-density deployments. The VEGA-7000 1U server has been optimized to fit up to four half-length PCI Express video add-in cards, being capable of encoding and streaming up to four 2160p60 10-bit 4:2:2 channels in less than 320W, 1U rack height and 500 mm depth. This density advantage brings greater scalability to video processing and distribution applications, saving significant floor space, power, and cooling costs.
