XIP-3901 Application Platform Generic Overview
The Densité 3+ XIP-3901 from Grass Valley is an agile processing platform that focuses on high-quality live production for HD, 1080p, 4K UHD and HDR.
This platform is a bridge for the hybrid world, consisting of today’s proven SDI technology and the new IP SMPTE ST 2110 connectivity. To meet customers’ needs both now and in the future, the XIP-3901 uses a flexible “virtualized” hardware platform. Based on a powerful FPGA engine, the XIP-3901 can be reconfigured with software updates for different applications as requirements change.
The XIP-3901 agile processing platform with a rear XIP-3901-3+DRP comes with all the 12G/quad link3G/3G/HD-SDI...

FEATURES
- Independent dual-channel HD/UHD processor
- 12G 2160p, Quad Link 3G, 3G 1080p and HD 1080i/720p SDI input/output
- SMPTE ST 2110 and JT-NM TR-1001-1 IP input/output on dual 25 GigE
- XIP-3901-UDC-HDR option provides HDR conversion supporting both Wide Color Gamut BT.709/ BT.2020 and High Dynamic Range: HLG, PQ and S-Log3
- XIP-3901-UDC-AUD option provides individual channel level, delay, up/down mixing and 2:1 mixer/shuffling
- GV Orbit for configuration, control and monitoring
- Individual XIP-3901 application licensed, purchased as needed
- Rapid switching between XIP-3901 applications
