At NAB Show 2026, Delta Digital Video showcased the latest in low-latency video encoding, decoding, and distribution technology for broadcast, government, enterprise, and defense applications.

Visitors to the booth saw firsthand how Delta Digital Video continues to advance real-time video transport, scalable distribution systems, and high-efficiency compression solutions for demanding operational environments.

Featured DDV Technologies at NAB 2026

5480 Series Encoders and Decoders

Delta Digital Video’s proven 5480 Series platform demonstrated high-performance video processing with support for:

  • H.264
  • H.265
  • JPEG XS
  • Low-latency real-time operation
  • Simplified user interface for faster setup and monitoring

Built for applications where video quality, responsiveness, and reliability are critical, the 5480 platform supports a wide range of professional and mission-focused workflows.

New 5480 Decoder Quad Output Feature

One of the featured demonstrations at NAB 2026 was a powerful new enhancement to the 5480 decoder platform: Quad Output.

This capability allows four simultaneous incoming streams to be displayed through a single HDMI output.

Why It Matters

The quad output feature helps organizations:

  • Reduce the number of decoders required
  • Minimize display hardware
  • Simplify monitoring and control room layouts
  • Improve operator visibility across multiple feeds
  • Lower system footprint and complexity

For operations managing multiple video sources, this creates a cleaner and more efficient monitoring environment.

9600 Video Distribution Chassis

Also highlighted at the show was DDV’s 9600 Video Distribution Chassis, designed for scalable, multi-channel video transport and distribution across larger system architectures.

The 9600 platform supports customers who need dependable video movement across networks while maintaining image quality and low latency.

Built for Real-World Video Environments

Delta Digital Video solutions support customers across:

  • Broadcast and live production
  • Government and defense operations
  • Enterprise video networks
  • Remote monitoring systems
  • Command and control environments

With support for SDI, HDMI, Composite, USB 3.0, VGA, metadata transport, and ruggedized packaging options, DDV systems are designed for deployment in the field, not just the lab.
