CheapOut
Ventuz graphics to reference-locked SDI, without the price of a broadcast output card per machine.
CheapOut is a low-latency video pipeline that bridges the Ventuz VIO API or Chromium renderer to Blackmagic DeckLink SDI outputs. A native engine moves the frames and a browser-based control application drives it over shared-memory IPC, keeping the path from renderer to SDI as short as it can be.
Feature highlights
- Inputs
- Ventuz VIO (shared memory from Ventuz)
- Hardware-accelerated Chromium renderer
- Output to all Blackmagic SDI output devices
- Devices with bonded fill/key
- Devices with fully independent outputs
- Key channels are acquired from all sources
- 4K inputs can be split into HD quadrant outputs
- Most functionality can be controlled via command-line parameters
- All functionality is exposed through a web-based API
- A browser-based application is bundled to consume the API and expose all functionality
- Previews of each input are visible through the web API
