Ultra-low Latency 8K Video-transmission System Utilizing Disaggregation Configuration

Abstract

We present a first-ever video-transmission system for remote production capable of sending and receiving uncompressed 8K video in the SMPTE ST 2110 directly through optical paths. To increase the robustness, a transmitter buffer control in seamless protection switching is also presented. We implemented video-transmission functions on an optical transponder utilizing disaggregation configuration. An evaluation experiment demonstrated that our video-transmission system achieved a delay of less than 1 ms between the video input at the transmitting end and video output at the receiving end.
