Press Release : DELTACAST and FRAUNHOFER IIS achieve first-ever software-defined ultimate low latency mode in live UHD IP contribution workflows

Thursday, 21st April 2021

DELTACAST and FRAUNHOFER IIS are demonstrating at NAB 2022 the new software-defined Ultimate Low Latency (ULL) mode for broadcast workflows where latencies far below 1 frame can be achieved.

Ans, Belgium (April 20th 2022) - At NAB 2022, the Fraunhofer-Institute for Integrated Ciruits IIS will demonstrate its JPEG XS software implementation based on DELTACAST´s  Ultimate Low Latency (ULL) video I/O-solution.

Broadcast industry vendors and developers can now benefit from a software-defined ultra-low latency mode that offers a real solution to address the new broadcast use cases.

With ULL, new real-time video interfacing applications can reach sub-frame video-in to video-out latency while being based on software or PC equipment. ULL reaches similar performances to custom hardware solutions while allowing shorter time-to-market and reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) for the end-user.

ULL opens the door to new possibilities for developers and broadcast industry vendors.

ULL is currently available on a variety of DELTACAST’s video I/O solutions for developers allowing a great flexibility in terms of high density of SDI I/Os.

“With the combination of the Fraunhofer IIS JPEG XS software implementation and DELTACAST´s subframe access to video data, we achieved system latencies far below 1 frame with a standard design, while typical solutions have a latency of about 5 frames,” explains Siegfried Foessel, Head of Department Moving Picture Technologies at Fraunhofer IIS.

FRAUNHOFER will showcase its demo at NAB 2022, booth C3926 .

DELTACAST will showcase its video I/O solutions for developers with ULL at NAB 2022, booth N4825.



About FRAUNHOFER IIS

 
Today, it is the largest institute of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. For over 30 years, the institute’s Audio and Media Technologies division has been shaping the globally deployed standards and technologies in the fields of audio and moving picture production. Starting with the creation of mp3 and continuing with the co-development of AAC and the Digital Cinema Initiative test plan, almost all consumer electronic devices, com-puters and mobile phones are equipped with systems and technologies from Erlangen today. Meanwhile, a new generation of best-in-class media technologies – such as MPEG-H Audio, xHE-AAC, EVS, LC3/LC3plus, Symphoria, Sonamic and upHear – is elevating the user experience to new heights.
