SDVoE Alliance develops first 8K AV-over-IP transport solution

The transmitters and receivers of the alliance Sdvoe, that will soon be on the market, They offer 8K video over a standard network and are fully compatible with 4K SDVoE systems.

As stated in the statement SDVoE Alliance, HDMI standard 2.1 defines many 8K formats with different bit depth, chroma subsampling, frame rate and color space.

In this sense, SDVoE 8K It is compatible with all of them without adding compression or latency. Four independent links in one switch Ethernet 10G standard provide 40Gb per endpoint 8K, no need for special or unusual switches.

“To those attending InfoComm would have loved to see 8K AV over IP in person, "But at least we were able to see a preview in the laboratory," he says. Chris Chinnock, president of Insight Media and executive director of the 8K Association-. There are huge potential markets for 8K systems in the professional AV space, such as live events that feature massive screens and outdoor signage, where we see increasingly larger canvases”.

In a social environment, This executive assures that “People will also want to use 8K displays in corporate environments, for smaller video walls, in museums and, of course, in medical applications: There are already 8K endoscopes”.

As he emphasizes Justin Kennington, president of the SDVoE Alliance, “we are the first AVoIP to do 8K, and the fact that it is fully compatible with existing SDVoE systems is important. Your 4K 10G SDVoE transmitter can send signals to your new 8K 4x10G SDVoE receiver. The opposite is also true, assuming you are sending 4K from the 8K transmitter (obviously you can't send an 8K signal to a 4K RX). What comes in, outputs without added compression or latency”.

All AV processing and distribution applications that demand zero latency and uncompromised video can benefit from SDVoE technology., offering an end-to-end hardware and software platform for extension, the switching, AV processing and control through advanced chipset technology, common control APIs and interoperability.

SDVoE network architectures are based on standard Ethernet switches, therefore, they provide significant cost savings and greater flexibility and scalability of the system compared to traditional approaches., such as point-to-point extension and circuit-based AV matrix switching.
