Advantech Video Coding Card VEGA-3304 Designed for Live 8K VR
Advantech recently released the VEGA-3304 encoding card and demonstrated it at the NAB conference in cooperation with Hyper Immersion Technology. The VEGA-3304 is the first plug-and-play video processing card that supports single-channel 8K60p or 4-channel 4K60p, and can achieve real-time HEVC encoding processing capabilities. 360-degree virtual reality solution providers can use VEGA-3304 to create compact, high-quality VR real-time encoders, accelerating the industry's next round of innovation.
Virtual reality has the potential to completely change the viewing experience, but large-scale popularity seems to depend on the ability to provide realistic real-time content, and this raises many challenges related to infrastructure. After splicing, whether 360-degree video can exceed 8K resolution and viewing quality will depend on maintaining high resolution throughout the video transmission phase. Bandwidth optimization is critical for the system to transmit data back to the centrally distributed processing element over the existing network. Therefore, HEVC plays a key role in real-time streaming of VR. However, the potential computational burden of multiple 4K or even 8K HEVC coding is a major obstacle we urgently need to overcome. In this regard, Advantech's VEGA-3304 can help you.
The VEGA-3304 is a commercial PCI Express adapter that eliminates the heavy HEVC encoding tasks in server-based applications, simplifying the development of 4K and 8K live broadcast solutions such as 360-degree virtual reality transmissions. The VEGA-3304 is the world's first video processing accelerator capable of performing real-time, professional-grade single-channel 8K or 4-channel 4K HEVC 4:2:2 10-bit encoding in a low-power PCI Express accelerator. When equipped with 16x 3G-SDI capture options, the VEGA-3304 is compatible with standard server GPU slots and comes with an SDK that supports Linux and Windows operating systems. VR developers can easily integrate VEGA-3304 with the FFmpeg tool and API provided by Advantech SDK.
Emily Teng, Advantech's VEGA video adapter product line manager, said: “VEGA-3304 has an impressive encoding quality and an unmatched 8K capacity, which provides a powerful tool for virtual reality developers. Now they have a Simple plug-in accelerator to handle 360-degree video."
At the NAB conference held recently, Advantech Technologies and its partners have demonstrated the VRGA-3304's real-time VR encoding capabilities across Visual Sciences. A single VEGA-3304 spliced ​​footage from four cameras in real time and produced a high-quality 360-degree view for the HTC Vive, allowing the audience to experience a super-immersive VR experience. This demo demonstrates the cross-vision technology real-time streaming cloud workflow. Content creators only need to set up a 360-degree camera and compact real-time coding system on the spot. Storage and real-time stitching will be processed in the cloud so that creators can create VR content in live events (such as sports live broadcasts and concerts). Simplified operation can be achieved.
Chen Wenzhao, executive director of Cross-vision Technology, said: “To create an immersive experience, 360-degree virtual reality requires at least 8K resolution, but from the perspective of real-time processing, such high-resolution video is difficult to manage. Technology's VEGA-3304, we are able to provide cloud-based 8K 360-degree VR real-time streaming services, while simplifying the VR content production process while also achieving true immersive high-quality content."
Battery safety is the critical factor that users consider when they are used for different applications. Because of the high reactivity of Lithium Battery, at the heart of each lithium battery pack is a BMS (battery management system) to ensure battery safety. UFO POWER has been in the lithium battery industry for more than ten years. We have our own R&D team and provide Standard BMS and Smart BMS to cater to your specific requirement.

The Function of Communication Interface
â— RS232 Communication InterfaceBMS can communicate with the host computer through the RS232 interface, so as to monitor the battery information at the upper computer terminal, including battery voltage, current, temperature, state, SOC, SOH and battery production information, etc.
â— RS485 Communication Interface
With RS485 interface, when the LiFePO4 Battery Pack is used in parallel, the main battery pack communicates with the slave battery ack through RS485 communication interface,so all the battery pack information can be viewed through the RS232 on the main Pack.
