IP Virtual Card - SMPTE ST 2110 edition

Software stack for ST 2110 video streaming

The IP Virtual Card is a software stack allowing high-performance video capture and streaming using standard network cards (NIC).

Part of the universal VideoMaster SDK addressing all the DELTACAST hardware and software products, the IP Virtual Card offers a unique way to accelerate the transition to ST 2110.

The IP Virtual Card supports uncompressed video essence as per ST 2110-20, audio as per ST 2110-30, ancillary data as per ST 2110-40 and compressed video as per ST 2110-22. It also includes a PTP synchronization solution compliant to ST 2059-2.

Thanks to an optimized network stack, the IP Virtual Card insures accurate, PTP locked, media streams.

			The IP Virtual Card relies on the same VideoMaster SDK as the DELTACAST video I/O cards. Existing DELTACAST users will find the same concepts and programming interface, while new developers will discover the benefits of VideoMaster SDK to design their own application. 100% under your control!
			The IP Virtual Card is your launchpad towards future evolutions of the SMPTE 2110 standard. This is where DELTACAST expertise comes into play. The abstraction layer provided by VideoMaster SDK will future-proof your application and secure your investment.
