Powerful FPGA Acceleration Engine

 

Benefit from high-performance FPGA-driven acceleration, ensuring smooth and efficient ST 2110 processing without CPU overhead

  • ST 2110 Packetizer/Depacketizer: Seamlessly handle ST 2110 streams with precision and reliability.
  • Hitless Protection: Receiving packets through full-redundant dual 100G ports strongly protects against losing media content without compromising the performance of the data flow.
  • Traffic Flow Control based on PTP Timing: Maintain precise synchronization and traffic management with PTP timing integration.
  • High-Performance DMA Controller: Achieve optimized data transfer rates without involving the CPU with Macnica's high-performance DMA controller.
