•
SDI signal processing (encoder, decoders, D:A)
•
SDI frame synchronizer
•
Audio A:D / D:A
•
HD/SD embedders and de-embedders
•
HD downconversion & DA
•
Signal measurement over IP
•
HD / SDI / analog video DAs
•
Digital and analog audio DAs
•
Fiber optics (to/from HD/SD)
Multiple formats of signals are supported by various models of cards, including:
•
SD-SDI
•
HD-SDI
•
Analog video
•
Digital audio
•
Analog audio
Some models of cards also support DVB/ASI and SMPTE 310 Transport Streams. In addition, the Densite

Densite provides space efficiency, with a 2 RU frame that is stackable - with no vertical space lost to
cooling - and that can house up to 20 modules.
Connection to the Densite frame and its respective modules is done via a frame controller module, using
TCP-IP connectivity.
