The Evertz EXE is a modular routing platform designed for high-bandwidth applications, primarily focused on video and audio signal distribution. It features a system controller (EXE-NCS-A) and frame controllers (EXE-FC) that manage the routing and network interconnectivity. The device is designed for robust operation, with redundant power supplies and network connections to ensure high availability.
The Evertz EXE system acts as a central hub for routing various signals within a broadcast or production environment. The EXE-NCS-A serves as the main system controller, providing the user interface and overall management of the frame. The EXE-FC units are responsible for the actual signal routing and processing. The system supports a wide range of signal types and bandwidths, including 1GE and 10GE connections, making it suitable for modern IP-based workflows.
The power supply system is designed for reliability, featuring external power switches mounted on a 1RU panel. There are separate switches for the top and bottom power supplies of the frame. These switches control the power modules, allowing for graceful shutdown and power-up. Each switch has a mating cable with four alarm connectors, which are crucial for the power trays to share current effectively. These alarm connectors must be plugged into the back of each operating power supply tray.
The system's network configuration is flexible, allowing for management via a web interface or command-line interface. This enables administrators to set IP addresses, netmasks, and gateways to integrate the EXE into existing network infrastructures. The system also supports NTP for clock synchronization, ensuring accurate timing across all connected devices.
netsetup, ifconfig, ip route, and checklinks.checklinks command: Used via SSH to the NCS guest to verify all links between the NCS and FCs are properly connected. It provides detailed messages if links are down or swapped../ref script: Used on the FC to verify genlock reference status and detected line rates, crucial for proper video switching.
