Unlock higher image fidelity

The IP-VFC card is the next generation of the disguise Video Format Conversion (VFC) card. This is a patented technology that enables a ST 2110 video output signal for the first time from a disguise media server.

Future-proof your production

The IP-VFC card enables a single ST 2110 video signal at up to 4K 60p with very low latency, supporting the growth of IP video in media & entertainment.

More colour information

Deliver images with more colour information without the need for external conversion to take place further along the production chain. This helps deliver larger, more interactive experiences for audiences.

Existing form factor

IP-VFC maintains the same form factor as the current VFC cards with the added benefit of ST 2110 video. This means that installations can benefit from COTS technology and the scalability that it brings
