The Piranha network video platform provides carrier grade low latency video compression for IP transport and incorporates full support for combined metadata applications such as ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance), UAV (Unmanned Airborne Vehicle), and KLV (Key Length Value) systems. The Piranha includes the performance, reliability, and flexibility of Haivision’s acclaimed hai1000 series such as 180 millisecond end to end latency and advanced networking features including logical multicast and traffic shaping.
Designed around Haivision’s MPEG-4 AVC H.264 core compression engine hardware (TRUE-H.264), the PIRANHA combines the performance, reliability, and feature set of the Hai1000 with full support for metadata captured either from one of four serial port interfaces or extracted from the vertical blanking interval (line 21 or closed caption) data space of analog video transmission – or both!!! The Piranha then incorporates the data information in real-time within the private data space of the standard transport stream.
H.264 with KVL serial and Line 21 The Piranha is ideal for deployments transitioning to more efficient and accurate video data systems. H.264 video compression affords over 50% reduction in bandwidth compared to historic MPEG-2 systems. Many users are as well looking to move from line 21 support over analog video to separate serial data injection as serial connections offer high data bandwidths and digital accuracy. The Piranha is unique in supporting both KLV data via a serial port and line 21 data from the video signal with H.264 video compression - one efficient high performance platform for data systems in transition.
Lowest Latency With mission critical video transmission or when remote system control is required, reducing the latency between video capture and delivery is essential. Haivision’s codec systems are integrated within the worlds leading telepresence suites where the lowest latency enables fluid communications and have been deployed for remote robotic surgery (telesurgery) where surgeons rely on the lowest latency to maintain hand-eye coordination. The Piranha delivers absolutely consistent performance at latency as low as 180 milliseconds end to end.
