Multi-camera real-time video transmission system over Ethernet and 5G

Simultaneous capture from up to four cameras

The unit can connect and manage up to four high-resolution video sources at the same time.

Each channel can receive the signal from a camera or external source, centralising the acquisition of different viewpoints on a single platform.

This architecture is particularly well suited to applications that require several cameras to be transmitted from the same location.

HDMI and SDI video inputs

The platform accepts video signals over HDMI and SDI interfaces, offering the flexibility to work with both conventional audiovisual equipment and professional cameras.

HDMI makes it easy to connect a variety of digital video sources, while SDI provides an interface particularly suited to professional installations that require robust connections and longer cable runs.

Combining both technologies considerably broadens the system's integration possibilities.

Real-time video processing

The x86 architecture provides the computing power needed to handle the various video streams and perform the required operations before transmission.

Depending on the software configuration, the system can centralise video capture, processing, encoding and delivery.

Because processing takes place on the unit itself, fewer additional external systems are needed at the camera location.

Transmission over Ethernet

Ethernet connectivity allows the video streams to be transmitted over wired IP infrastructure.

This simplifies integration of the unit into corporate networks, control centres, audiovisual infrastructure and remote monitoring systems.

An IP-based architecture physically separates the cameras from the point where the content is viewed, processed or stored.

Transmission over 5G

Built-in 5G communications make it possible to transmit video from locations where no Ethernet infrastructure is available or where mobility is required.

The high bandwidth and low latency of 5G networks enable real-time remote video applications, always subject to the coverage and actual capacity of the available network.

This makes the unit a particularly attractive platform for temporary installations, mobile units and systems deployed at remote sites.

x86 architecture

The system is based on a high-performance x86 platform, chosen to handle the computational load of processing multiple video channels simultaneously.

The architecture can accommodate capture cards, communication interfaces and any other peripherals needed to configure the unit for each application.

Windows operating system

The unit runs Windows as its operating system, providing a flexible environment for integrating capture and communication drivers as well as dedicated video processing and transmission applications.

The platform supports the development of an integrated operator interface and the use of specialised software tools to manage the different channels.

10-inch touchscreen

The front panel features a 10” touchscreen that serves as the local user interface.

It can host functions such as configuration, source selection, camera status checks, communications supervision and general system diagnostics.

Integrating the HMI directly into the unit allows stand-alone operation without a permanently connected external monitor, keyboard or mouse.

Liquid cooling

Processing several video signals simultaneously can generate a high thermal load over extended periods.

For this reason, the unit incorporates a liquid cooling system to improve the dissipation of heat produced by the high-performance components.

This keeps the operating temperature under control even during intensive processing and transmission tasks.

Local and remote operation

The integrated display allows operations to be carried out directly on the unit, while Ethernet and 5G communications enable its integration into distributed systems.

This combination provides a suitable architecture for scenarios where the unit must be installed alongside the cameras while viewing, supervision or storage take place at a remote location.

Edge architecture for video

The x86 processing power allows part of the video handling to be performed directly at the point of capture.

This edge video processing approach prepares and processes the streams before they are sent across the network, optimising the overall system architecture.

Depending on the installed software, the platform can evolve to incorporate new processing functions without changes to the main hardware.
