Smart city

Smart City SDI Board

Core Features

● Multi-format video full-domain access
Supports three mainstream video interface inputs—3G-SDI, CVBS, and HDMI—offering seamless compatibility with professional broadcasting equipment in smart cities, legacy analog cameras, and modern ultra-high-definition signal sources.


● 4K Ultra-High-Definition Processing and Presentation
The HDMI interface supports 4K@30Hz ultra-high-definition signal processing and output, delivering exceptionally sharp and detailed visuals for the command center’s large-screen displays.


● Broadcast-grade signal processing quality
The professional SDI interface supports uncompressed, zero-latency digital video signal transmission and loop-out, ensuring the integrity and real-time performance of critical video footage.


● FPGA hardware real-time processing
Video signal format conversion, scaling, switching, and overlay are implemented based on the Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA. All processing is performed at the hardware level, resulting in extremely low latency and high stability and reliability.


● Industrial-grade, high-reliability design
Featuring industrial-grade chips and a precision PCB design, it supports wide-temperature operation from -40℃ to +85℃ and 7x24-hour uninterrupted operation, meeting the demanding outdoor environmental requirements of smart cities.
