Inputs and
Outputs
Inputs A1 and B1 - 1x 50GbE each Primary QSFP connection. A1 is on the
upper 'A' card, and B1 is on the lower 'B' card.
Inputs - 18x on each Primary 50GbE input = 36x Inputs Total
SMPTE 2022-6 or VSF TR-03 (SMPTE 2110) SD/HD/1080p inputs across two
50GbE links. Each 50GbE link transports 9x SMPTE 2022-6 or VSF TR-03
(SMPTE 2110) SD/HD/1080p inputs.
Outputs A1 and B1- 6x on each 50GbE output = 12x Outputs Total
SMPTE 2022-6 or VSF TR-03 (SMPTE 2110) SD/HD/1080p outputs across two
50GbE links. Each 50GbE link transports 3x SMPTE 2022-6 or VSF TR-03
(SMPTE 2110) SD/HD/1080p outputs.
Inputs A2 and B2 - 1x 50GbE each Secondary QSFP connection. A2 is on the
upper 'A' card, and B2 is on the lower 'B' card.
Inputs - 18x on each Secondary 50GbE QSFP
SMPTE 2022-6 or VSF TR-03 (SMPTE 2110) SD/HD/1080p inputs across two
50GbE links. Each 50GbE link transports 9 x SMPTE 2022-6 or VSF TR-03
(SMPTE 2110) SD/HD/1080p inputs.
Outputs A2 and B2 - 6 x on each secondary QSFP - SMPTE 2022-6 or VSF
TR-03 (SMPTE 2110) SD/HD/1080p outputs across two 50GbE links. Each
50GbE link transports 3 x SMPTE 2022-6 or VSF TR-03 (SMPTE 2110)
SD/HD/1080p outputs.
Note: A2 and B2 Secondary are for redundancy.
