Many applications require a high quality source of imagery, matched to the particular display system, whether a projected 3D Cinema, multi channel Full Domes, Digital Signage installation or heritage experience inside a museum or Visitor Attraction. Delta can provide up to fully uncompressed 4:4:4 imagery onto any shape screen, mixed with live video, still imagery and special effects, all performed in real-time so that system installation and customer show creation is rapid and accurate.
A Delta server's high performance is gained by the ability to utilise today's ultra fast hard disks to stream uncompressed movie content coupled with the extreme real-time processing available in modern graphics cards. A great example of this comes from a 2010 Live Event Dome system with each Delta serving 4 Outputs, with 4:4:4 uncompressed 3200 x 3200 30fps media.
Delta can playback movies in a variety of formats to suit your performance requirements, from light compressions such as YUV-420, YUV-422 to full RGB 4:4:4 and RGB 4:4:4:4 including an alpha plane. Standard mono (24, 25, 29.97, 30fps) and stereo formats (96, 100, 120) are available in addition to non standard formats.
Scalability is built-into the design, with anywhere from 2 to 6 graphics outputs per Delta server plus the ability to join multiple Delta servers into a single coherent server system playing synchronised frame-accurate media. Delta GUI provides a single point of remote control and show creation over all Delta servers on the network.
One Delta server can provide up to six graphical outputs.
Extensive Feature set
Delta's technical abilities are comprehensive: real-time distortion correction & edge blending, high bit depth video, movie encryption, passive & active 3D stereo modes, multi channel audio, SMPTE mastering or chase, live inputs.
A single Delta server is capable of serving 100's of megabytes per second of uncompressed movies which can be full 4:4:4 or one of our light compressions (YUV-4:2:2 or YUV-4:2:0) tailored to your performance requirements.
Matching the media frame rate is essential for accurate playback and Delta can be easily configured for film type 24fps, European 25fps or US type 30fps content, in addition to 3D stereo modes of 48, 50 or 60fps (frame doubled by the projector) or 96, 100 or 120fps (non frame doubled).
