Optikos3G provides unsurpassed image quality with a 12-bit processing pipeline for all 12/10/8-bit video modes. The hardware design and cross-platform SDK have evolved from 25+ years of continuous development, making it extraordinarily reliable. An MR2 routing resource, alongside a customisable full-duplex asynchronous DMA engine, deliver unrivalled developer flexibility.
Optikos3G has, by design, the world's lowest latency, providing access to captured video frames with the shortest possible delay. A FIFO mode to protect against dropped frames, optional SMPTE 2022-7 hittless redundancy, an SDI bypass relay and a watchdog timer allows developers to plan for the unexpected and ensure that the show does go on.
Flexible, cross-platform SDK
The Bluefish444 Windows, and Linux SDK share a common API allowing developers to port from one platform to another with greater ease and efficiency. Other common development interfaces are available including DirectShow, Video 4 Linux 2 and Medialooks MPlatform.
Optikos3G is supported by the same free SDK and free integration support as Epoch, so for existing Bluefish444 integrations, it’s quick and easy to get working with KRONOS IP and SDI I/O.
