Las
Vegas, NV, NAB Conference, Booth SL920 (April 12, 2010)--AJA Video
Systems, a leading manufacturer of professional video interface and
conversion solutions, is facilitating professional video I/O for
application development customers on Windows systems working with the
Microsoft DirectShowTM media-streaming architecture.
AJA has
released new DirectShow Filters available as a free download designed
to allow DirectShow application developers to work with AJA KONA and Io
Express along with AJA’s New Corvid video I/O products. AJA’s
DirectShow Filters are available for 32-bit versions of Windows and
64-bit versions of Windows.
AJA’s new line of Corvid video cards
provide a range of focused video and audio I/O solutions for developers
and OEM’s. The Corvid provides simple SD/HD-SDI I/O, with the Corvid-LP
providing this in a low-profile PCI form factor for integration into
1RU servers. The new Corvid-22 provides multi-channel I/O in SD/HD and
3G SDI, along with LTC and RS-422 capabilities. The Corvid line
delivers the features developers and OEM’s need at aggressive price
points.
AJA customers and partners are very pleased with this
new level of support. “Kulabyte’s XStream Live 2TM video encoding and
streaming software integrated with the AJA KONA or Io Express capture
cards and DirectShow Filters enable our customers to easily broadcast
live HD- SDI, SDI, and analog sources to web and mobile devices with
the highest quality video streams,” said Peter Forman, Chairman and
CEO, Kulabyte. “Seamless integration of XStream Live with Io Express
