SDI Mapping IP Cores from intoPIX are designed for converting SDI interfaces to handle more complex and higher-resolution video streams, carrying JPEG XS or TICO RDD35 over existing SDI infrastructure. This innovative IP core allows 4K or 8K video to be transported efficiently over deployed SDI cabling systems, preserving the legacy equipment while dramatically enhancing its capabilities. The solution includes unique processing methods to remove forbidden codewords like EAV/SAV, allowing for up to 20% more compression efficiency. This not only saves bandwidth but also supports enhanced interoperability between different manufacturers' equipment globally. With SDI still being a widely used standard in broadcasting, these IP cores offer an elegant upgrade path to accommodate modern video standards without overhauling existing infrastructure, thereby saving significant cost and integration time.
