DESKTOP DRIVES FOR ALL CONTENT CREATIVES Western Digital BY KEVIN EMMOTT
Designed for all levels of content creator, Western Digital has introduced two new desktop hard drive units from its SanDisk Professional line. SanDisk’s Professional G-Drive
Project has a Thunderbolt 3 interface and supports daisy-chain for up to fi ve devices. It is also compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 2, and its 7200rpm hard drive delivers up to 22TB capacity and 260mbps read/write speed. Meanwhile, the SanDisk
Professional G-Raid Mirror has
a capacity of up to 44TB on two 7200rpm hard drives. The system operates a mirror mode for peace of mind: shipping in RAID 1 with content automatically duplicating onto the second drive for full data redundancy, users can change to JBOD or RAID 0 by fl ipping a switch and with no requirement to download an app or install special software.
The unit also features a Pro-Blade SSD mag slot to offl oad, copy or edit content directly from a Pro-Blade SSD mag. “From YouTube to Switch to
TikTok, there is a huge amount of content produced every single day,” said Grace Ensell,
CARDS ON THE (OPERATING) TABLE Deltacast
BY KEVIN EMMOTT
Designed for medical imaging where real-time video, low latency and robustness are paramount, Deltacast has unveiled the latest addition to its range of I/O cards. A development of an existing
broadcast card for graphic insertion in applications such as sports, the half-length Delta-12G11-hmi 11-e-key has
been developed with high- performance, real-time video and AI applications in mind. IEC 60601-1-2 compliant for use with medical devices, it provides 1x SDI or HDMI 4K60 video capture, an on-board keyer for real-time overlays, and 1x SDI or HDMI playout.
“In medical applications, latency is a critical element, even more than in broadcast,” said Pierre Lespagnard, Deltacast Head of Products. “The card bypasses

the image processing in the PC, which can add two or three frames of delay, too much for medical applications.” Able to capture and stream in either SDI or HDMI, it can adapt to the video interface context in the operating room, while GPUDirect RDMA support ensures fast data transfer between the video card and the GPU without soliciting the CPU host memory. 7.B12
PELICAN PUSHES TRANSCODING FOR ESPORTS Torque Video Systems BY ADRIAN PENNINGTON
The entire online gaming industry is in a frantic race to provide more and more frames per second at exceptional qualities – and, according to Torque Video Systems, that puts an intense strain on every step of the process.
“The demands on network and rendering infrastructure are particularly severe,” Danny Wilson, Founder and CEO, Torque Video Systems, told the IBC Daily. “The engineers fi ght a good fi ght all while their fi nance departments are chasing to reduce costs.”

Torque is advancing its Pelican transcoding platform to optimise esports streaming effi ciency. The Torque Pelican provides mass
decode-encode functionality for H.264 and HEVC, for live IP and fi le-based transcode workfl ows but it is the exceptional energy
Lespagnard: For medical
applications, latency is even more critical than broadcast
effi ciency and small footprint that makes it “a key tool in reducing overall TCO without sacrifi cing latency or video quality”. Torque Pelican consumes considerably less energy and rack space (1RU) than traditional software or GPU-based transcoding systems. The savings are striking: in Europe, where electricity costs are much higher, switching to Pelican for, say, 1000 streams, can result in direct cost savings of over €200,000 annually the company claims. The unit supports H.264, HEVC and HDR via a full VLSI chipset and provides up to 192 full HD transcodes. 1.B09
