The Drastic DDR SDK is a multi platform SDK that allows the developer to create a custom function, client branded DDR from Drastic's extensive digital disk recorder technologies.  The SDK is available as a direct link, or ActiveX component.  The video board, file I/O, control (network, RS-422, VTR) and OS connections are all handled by Drastic DDR under the control of your application.  Drastic DDR provides the functionality to allow you to focus on the work flow specific elements.

Overview

With the Drastic DDR SDK, all the functions present in Drastic's line of digital disk recorders are available for integration within your application.  The SDK can be accessed via ActiveX, direct link, TCP-IP socket interface or HTML/Ajax.  The SDK is based on Drastic's mature MediaCMD command set and interface, connected with the modules that make up Drastic's DDRs and video I/O software.

The central module is the DDR internal channel that controls the flow of audio, video and metadata between the disk or network subsystem and the video I/O or graphics I/O board.  This module supports frame accurate playback and recording, off speed playback, basic cuts only editing and hardware control.

The central module can be connected with the control modules to provide fuller functionality, including:

• Network control (bi directional)
• Serial control of external devices (Sony, Odetics, VDCP)
• VTR/DDR emulation of serial device protocols (Sony, Odetics, VDCP)
• HTTP/Web/Ajax control and access
