What is Targa-2 Receiver?
Targa-Receiver is a compact video and audio decoder which is designed for
TV broadcast applications. It is attached to LAN Networks using its Ethernet
port.
Targa-Receiver can decode SD and HD H264 encoded elementary video
streams and AAC audio streams. It features an integrated Deinterlacer and
Scaler, which automatically upscales SD content to HD resolutions.
Targa-Receiver supports professional Video Interfaces like HD-SDI and HDMI
with integrated audio output. Additionally it includes an analog audio output.
When used in combination with a Targa-Transmitter, the Targa Receiver has
several unique functions:
•
VPN-Tunnel: The Transmitter can connect to the Receiver over an
encrypted VPN-Tunnel for data security.
•
Audio Return Channel: The Receiver can record from analog audio
input and stream it to the Transmitter. This can i.e. be used by
producers to give directions to the camera operators.
•
Transparent CAN-Tunnel: Transmitter and Receiver can establish a
TCP-based CAN-Tunnel over which CAN-packets can be relayed. This
can i.e. be used to exchange data between a vehicle and an industrial
controller.
•
Latency measurement: The Receiver can measure the capture to
display latency of the video stream.
