SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The AVAS-212 system is structured as shown in Figure 1. Video
sources and video destinations (typically displays) are connected to
AVAS-212 interface modules. These interface modules are called
NDcoders (because they provide both encoding and Decoding
functionality).
The NDcoders are connected to a 10gigabit Ethernet switch. Video, and
audio are distributed among the NDcoders over this network. Software
running on a PC that is connected to the network is used to manage the
channels between the input and output ports of the NDcoders. This
software, called the
AVAS-212 Server
, provides an API to control the
AVAS-212 system. Customized video switching applications can be
developed with this interface.
The AVAS-212 Server Software comes with a demonstration
application that has been built using the AVAS-212 User API.
The demonstration application that is part of the AVAS-212 software
distribution is intended for demonstration purposes only.
