In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, industries like live sports broadcasting, virtual production, medical imaging, and advanced simulation demand seamless, real-time video capture and processing. Traditional video systems are often fragmented, relying on disconnected hardware and software that force engineers into complex manual synchronization and create costly bottlenecks. iWave recognizes these challenges and delivers a unified, scalable integrated video infrastructure designed to transform your video workflows with efficiency and flexibility
Modular and End-to-End Video Solution Tailored for Your Needs
iWave’s integrated video platform breaks down silos by delivering a cohesive, modular system that unites video capture, processing, and distribution in a single versatile ecosystem. Comprising three interoperable components—a multi-channel video switcher, a high-speed PCIe frame grabber, and an IP video streamer—each element can be deployed independently or as a seamless pipeline, adapting effortlessly to the scale and complexity of your project.
Our design prioritizes compatibility and ease of integration, offering consistent connectivity options including SDI, HDMI, ARINC-818, and Ethernet, paired with support for industry-leading software tools and protocols to future-proof your workflows.
Key Components Driving Innovation
- Multi-Channel Video Switcher: Streamline Input and Processing
This powerful switcher supports up to 12 simultaneous video streams via a 12×12 matrix, handling sources across SDI and HDMI. It delivers advanced AV mixing capabilities such as chroma keying, alpha blending, and dynamic routing, making it ideal for live events like sports broadcasting where multiple camera angles and complex scene compositions are essential. Benefit from real-time, flexible source-to-destination mapping and multiple preview outputs that ensure precise control and confidence throughout production.
2. PCIe Frame Grabber: High-Speed Capture and Intelligent Compute
Capture high-bandwidth video streams directly into a Linux host PC with our PCIe frame grabber, compatible with HDMI, SDI, and ARINC818 inputs and fully compliant with V4L2 standards. This component enables both simultaneous capture and playback for enhanced recording and review efficiency. Workflows integrate smoothly with popular encoding and streaming tools like OBS Studio, FFmpeg, and GStreamer. Empower your productions with real-time overlays, virtual object rendering via Unreal Engine, and AI/ML-powered features such as object detection and scene analytics.
IP Video Streamer: Reliable, Scalable Distribution
Designed for control rooms, remote production, or live web broadcasts, our compact, fanless video streamer offers hardware-accelerated H.264/H.265 encoding and supports flexible input options. It offloads streaming tasks from the host PC, ensuring reliable network delivery through RTSP, RTP, and SRT protocols. Experience simplified, efficient IP-based video distribution that scales with your audience needs.
Unleash the Power of a Unified Video Workflow
Imagine a live event broadcast where multiple camera feeds are captured simultaneously, dynamically processed with real-time graphics and overlays, enhanced by AI-driven analytics, and distributed seamlessly to viewers worldwide. iWave’s tightly integrated infrastructure makes this vision a reality:
- Capture: Multi-camera inputs seamlessly combined in the video switcher
- Process: Real-time scene composition, score graphics, and transitions
- Analyze: AI-enhanced processing and virtual environment rendering on the host PC
- Distribute: High-quality, low-latency streaming delivered via the Video Streamer
iWave’s integrated video infrastructure is much more than hardware: it’s a flexible, scalable platform that empowers developers, broadcasters, and engineers to innovate faster and overcome the limitations of traditional, fragmented systems. With a solid foundation of embedded engineering expertise since 1999, iWave supports critical verticals including Industrial, Medical, Automotive, and Avionics with cutting-edge FPGA systems and robust video solutions.
