Village Island Releases World-Wide the VICO-4, the "4K over Single 3G-SDI" Appliance Empowered by TICOVillage Island, a video equipment supplier and integrator head-quartered in Japan, announces VICO-4 from the VICO series enabling UHD smart transport and powered by TICO, the revolutionary high-efficiency compression engine from intoPIX. Using the new VICO-4 appliance, it is now possible to transport 4K base-band video over a single 3G-SDI, without losing any noticeable video quality and with zero-frame delay. VICO-4 takes in 4K as 4x 3G-SDI or 1x 12G-SDI and convert it into a single 3G-SDI. The unit can easily switch between Encoder and Decoder. VICO is powered by TICO, the high-efficiency compression engine from intoPIX enabling 4:1 Visually Lossless compression with a total delay (encoder plus decoder) of only a few video lines (less than 1ms). Why VICO?
SDI transport of TICO video data is done according to SMPTE RDD35 SDI specifications to enable interoperability with third-party vendors. Several interoperability testing have been conducted successfully. According to this spec, the resulting 3G-SDI codestream sees the SDI video active area replaced with the 4K compressed data. The complete ancillary data (ex: audio, time-codes, sub-titles, …) is transported as is. TICO compression enables to preserve the original quality without any artefact detectable by the human eye. Encoding and decoding is achieved within a few video lines delay. Therefore VICO enables 4K transport over single 3G-SDI with lossless quality coupled with Ultra-Low Delay. VICO is available as OEM and ODM as well.
