IQMBG80
Eight-channel 3G/HD/SD-SDI Media Biometrics Generator
The IQMBG80 generates Media Biometrics signatures containing vital video and audio information from up to eight independent SDI inputs and transmits them over an Ethernet IP link. Media Biometrics takes the “fingerprinting” concept a step further by using advanced techniques to both identify media and discover content errors regardless of the content and, in most cases, the processing that has been applied to the content.
IQMBG80 Media Biometrics generators are designed to provide a low barrier to entry for customers wishing to integrate the system into their existing workflows. Handling up to eight SDI inputs in a space-efficient single-width modular form factor allows Media Biometrics...
