Description
Details
Features
- Two general-purpose ASI/SDI ports, each configurable from your application as input or output, and as ASI or SDI (SD/HD/3G-lvl-A/B).
- Synchronization of SDI outputs via analogue genlock input, accepting bi- and tri-level sync.
- DekTec Matrix API® 2.0 for easy programmatic access to video, audio and ANC data. All SDI symbols in a frame can be read or written.
Applications
- Input/output of uncompressed or compressed streams for your software-defined solution:
- Video encoding or decoding;
- Video playout or recording;
- Key- and fill generators;
- Audio insertion or extraction;
- Low-latency subtitle insertion.
- Stream station for generation, monitoring and analysis of ASI/SDI streams up to 3G-SDI.
Block Diagram
The DTA-2172 features two transmit/receive channels, each consisting of a cable equalizer, ASI/SDI receiver, ASI/SDI transmitter, Matrix logic, high-performance DMA controller and PCIe interface.
DekTec Matrix API® 2.0
The Matrix-API framework decodes incoming SDI data into pixels (in a programmable format), audio samples and ANC data structures. When a new frame has been received, the framework calls a user-supplied "frame-processor callback" for processing of the data. The user callback can create output video, audio and ANC data. which is encoded by the framework into SDI frames.
Synchronization of multiple input streams is straightforward: The video/audio/anc data of all SDI frames supplied to the callback function have the same arrival time by definition. Past frames can be accessed by an integer frame index. The framework ensures that if frames from different input ports have the same frame index, they have entered the system at the same time instance.

Documents
- DTA-2172 Leaflet
Dektec models are most often differentiated by the sufix e.g. SD, SXP etc., where suffix specifies the SW licence
- SP = Stream Player (allows you to play/modulate transport stream files, so this makes sence for devices with Output interface)
- SXP = Stream Xpert (this is MPEG TS ANALYZER, what makes sence for Input devices)
- SLP = Stream Xper Lite (very limited alternative of SXP, de facto allowing mainly capturing MPEG TS, again makes sence for Input devices)
- RX = RFXpert RF signal analysys
- SY = SD Eye (video analyzer)
- J = Jitter
- DGL = Dongle license for non Dektec devices
Meaning of abreviations used in beginning of Dektec model names
- DTA = Dektec adapter (typically PCI, PCI-e)
- DTU = Dektec USB device both USB-2 and USB-3
- DTE = Dektec Ethernet standalone networked device
- DTC = Dektec software license
