D.A.V.I.D. INTEGRATES VIDEO MODULES WITH BLUEFISH HARDWARE
Ingest, Editing, Playout: Support for professional SDI cards
Munich radio and TV specialist D.A.V.I.D. today announced it has completed integration with Bluefish444’s Wildblue
AV SDI card for video input, editing, and playout.
Wildblue AV is a professional SD-SDI card. The card has an SDI input and an SDI output, as well as 6 inputs and
outputs for AES/EBU audio (24 bit, 48 kHz). Wildblue AV supports 10 bit 4:2:2 input (internal 4:4:4:4), as well as
YUV, RGB, PAL and NTSC.On the basis of the extensive SDK that Bluefish444 offers for their professional cards,
D.A.V.I.D. optimized the integration of its video solutions.
The first installations based on Wildblue AV are high-performance ingest and editing workstations, e.g. for frame
accurate capture of IMX MPEG-2 50 Mbit and DVCpro 50 in realtime. Integrated RS-422 control supports
connections to all standard broadcast VTRs.
After the ingest operation, DigaSystem automatically creates keyframes and envelope curves, and starts scene
detection. The meta data generated can be accessed from every workstation on the network.
The most important tools are the D.A.V.I.D. editors, consisting of the three modules MediaEditor Easy, News and
FX. The editors offer a range of fine-tuned functions required for video editing in news and archive environments.
DigaIngester and DigaProducer access Wildblue AV directly for video ingest and video output.
"Thanks to the convincing quality of the Bluefish products, we were able to realize D.A.V.I.D.’s video solutions very
rapidly for use in professional broadcast environments," reports Ingo Hahn, Product Manager Video.
”D.A.V.I.D suite of products provide an incredible range of professional solutions for the professional post and
broadcast industries, from multi format ingest solutions to editing suites, I am absolutely impressed with the features
and tolls D.A.V.I.D has produced and the and rapid implementation of our SDK”, states Paul Cameron, Product and
Support manager for Bluefish444
