Single card, Stereoscopic 3D media player highlighted at IBC

“The HMP’s 3D option features dual HD outputs, making this card ideal for native 3D playback”, says John Kim, Infrastructure Product Manager at Miranda. “It represents an easy to use, low cost and space efficient solution for applications like 3D branding graphics, moving backgrounds, and test patterns.”

The HMP-1801 media player uses Compact Flash for robust media storage, with instantaneous playout of HD (1080i and 720p) or SD. The player includes media workflow tools for clip ingest, content management, and playback with playlist support. Content is loaded via a 10/100 Mb Ethernet media transport port, and a copy of the output is available as a confidence monitoring stream over IP.

Automated control is available via GPIs, or by RS422 using the VDCP protocol. The player can also be controlled manually using Miranda’s iControl GUI. The HMP-1801 is highly space efficient, with up to 20 Stereoscopic 3D media player cards in a single 3RU Densite frame.
