Just a brute force cherrypicking.. DM 6400 with a GigE and a bunch of SDI cards.

Good luck.

Hi
Hi Bob,

Thank you for the quick reply, I’ll try to make myself a little clearer.

>You have 9 HD SDI sources (like 9 HD-SDI cameras), and you want to convert each HD-SDI source to Gig E ? What do you mean by this.

I need to convert 9 HD SDI sources that come from HD cams, scale it down to SD, encode to MPEG2, mux with the rest of the 9 feeds and send it down the Ethernet as MPEG2-TS using multicast IP.

>Do you want to use Gig E cable instead of Coax cable?

Well, once the signal is in MPEG2 TS and on Ethernet, it can be either GigE or ASI, unless I’m wrong.

>Do you want to have a storage system that runs on Gig E?

No, not a storage but MPEG4 encoders that will further compress signal, which will be transmitted to web and mobile users.

>Do you want to transmit all 9 HD-SDI sources over 1 Gig E cable via a multiplexer.

Yes.

>If you would explain exactly what you are trying to do, maybe someone could help you. Do you want to DOWNCONVERT the 9 HD sources to SDI, and then transmit them over Gig E ?
Pretty close: downconvert, encode to MPEG2, encapsulate to MPEG2 TS, mux with the rest, transmit over multicast IP.

Thanks.
Dennis.
