1 Introduction
M-VIVID is a range of 3G/HD/SD-SDI video frame delay software apps that run on the
MARBLE-V1 media processor – purpose-built GPU/CPU hardware that fits in the Vision
frame.
They can be used to match any short or long system delays in IP, SDI or mixed
installations, such as those caused by virtual studio graphics, MPEG encoders and decoders,
audio processing, HD radio links, satellite links and aggregated signal path delays.
The delay is adjustable in steps of frames, with the length of the delay in seconds dependent
on the video standard. The triple channel M-VIVID100-3 provides up to 100 frames of delay
per channel, the dual channel M-VIVID200-2 up to 200 frames of delay per channel, the dual
channel M-VIVID400-2 up to 400 frames per channel and the single channel M-VIVID800 up
to 800 frames.
Like all MARBLE-V1 video processing software apps, the M-VIVID can be used with IP (ST
2022 or ST 2110 video), with SDI or with both IP and SDI at the same time (thereby providing
gateway functionality).
