Use Cases

 

ENTRY-LEVEL 8K

Real-time playback of 8Kp60 YUV-4:2:0 10-bit HDR video and PCM audio providing the highest quality in a cost-effective system. The video interface is based on HDMI 2.1 with GPU rendering.

This use case requires a compact PC with a consumer M.2 SSD disk with a maximum storage capacity of 2 TB (8.9 minutes of 8Kp60 4:2:0 10-bit video).

 

PROFESSIONAL 8K

Real-time playback of 8K video at 60 or 120 fps in uncompressed YUV-4:2:2 10-bit HDR contribution format and PCM audio. It is well suited for quality monitoring, live workflows requiring an SDI input source with pre-recorded video, subjective quality assessment, and large-screen visualization. The output video interface is 12G SDI for maximum video quality control.

The use case relies on a standard server with an array of professional U.2 NVME SSD disks with a maximum storage capacity of 120 TB (i.e., 6.7 hours of 8Kp60 4:2:2 10-bit video).

 

ULTIMATE 8K

Real-time playback of 8Kp60/120 YUV-4:2:2 10-bit HDR video and PCM audio for multimedia applications demanding the maximum possible capacity for content storage. The output interface is 12G SDI with the option of 120 Hz output using 2 SDI cards.

This use case requires a storage-optimized server with a large array of professional U.2 NVME SSD disks, with a maximum storage capacity of 720 TB  (i.e. 10 hours of 8Kp120 4:2:2 10-bit video).
