The DigiSender XDS 4K (software newly updated for 2020 onwards ) allows HDMI over Internet and creates a seamless HDMI connection between two points anywhere in the world with only a standard broadband connection. With one device acting as the transmitter and the other acting as a receiver it means that any high-definition HDMI source can be broadcast to a display anywhere in the world.

When the receiver is installed and connected to the internet it searches for all transmitters that are currently associated with your account. This means that one receiver can be used to connect to any DigiSender XDS 4K transmitters, wherever they may be in the world.

Because this system is dedicated it will auto-start on power fail to the service you have selected as your 'default service'. 

Applications including studio linking services where a real-time interview link is required for broadcast quality HD video feeds in real-time.

How it works - 'the easy to understand guide'

The boxes make a connection to our server to request their exact location. Both parties location is identified but then a direct connection is made between the two boxes for video and audio. We support 1080 HD but it will auto scale, this means that if you have poor internet connection the picture definition will be reduced. You can achieve broadcast quality but only where you have a good internet connection. If both units are connected to the same LAN network then you should get a very good result. Nothing is certain, operational performance is not certain, even operation is not guaranteed as some networks block peer to peer connections. We have always been able to solve problems in the past though and have units working in Europe, Australia and the Middle East!

How it works - 'the more technical guide'

When you connect the XDS 4K to your local Internet service you are then asked to create a secure account. The devices presence is registered on our servers via a secure connection and uses Real Time Communications (RTC) protocols.

When a second connection is made to your service a direct peer to peer video and audio connection is made. This means that the streams do not pass through a central server but your service remains totally secure as it remains within a 128bit encryption service and only accessed via your account.

Real-Time Communications (RTC) provides us with high-quality applications which we have developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and then allows them all to communicate securely via a common set of protocols. This initiative is a project supported by AEI, Google, Mozilla and Opera, amongst others. It receives regular updates automatically and without the need for any down-time, restarts of other human intervention.

If you make a connection between two XDS consoles over the Internet (each using different Internet services), your bandwidth will automatically determine the picture quality. A fast broadband service can in theory achieve 4K Ultra High Definition quality. A connection between two XDS consoles which exist on the same WiFi network will not pass the streams over the Internet and the stream connections will remain on your local LAN thus reducing latency and enabling the best possible picture and sound quality. Engineers at AEI have been pioneering this technology since March 2015.

Our RTC and M2M technology does not require any special settings on routers or firewalls. Your network can remain fully secure and any Firewall protection can remain in force and you will not be prompted to open ports or other such requests which can compromise your network.
