IP Architecture
The physical media network link uses QSFP cages on the rear of the unit (‘Link A1’... ‘Link B2’)
and are 100G Ethernet links that are each configured for 2x 50G operation. When fitted, QSFP
transceivers are internally connected to the Video IP blocks via a hard-wired network ‘cross-
over’ arrangement (which can remove the need for external break-out cables in some cases.
Thus, one rear physical rear media network ‘link’ feeds two Video IP blocks.
Video input IP streams for inputs 1 to 18 can be carried either in network link ‘Link A1’, or in
‘Link A2’, or in both links for redundancy.
The second Video IP card is similarly connected but via ‘Link B1’ and Link B2’, which carry the
video IP streams for video inputs 19 to 36.
