DTA-2178-ASI | PCIe

Features

• All eight ASI ports operate independently.
• Ideal for applications with a high port count, like multiplexers, multi-channel playout etc.
• DekTec's SDKs, including DTAPI and DTAPI-TS, help you create real-time applications that receive and or transmit ASI transport streams.

Applications

• Applications with many ASI I/Os, e.g.:
  • Transport-stream multiplexer;
  • Compliance recording;
  • Multi-channel receiver, monitor, playout;
  • Gateway to or from IP.

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
