IQUCP25 GATEWAY

Universal Compute Processor for 25 GbE IP Systems

The IQUCP25 is a user-configurable multichannel video/audio-over-IP transceiver developed for use within low-latency and high-bandwidth Ethernet IP networks using either SMPTE ST 2110 or SMPTE ST 2022-6 encapsulation standards, with 2x 25 GbE links (SMPTE ST 2022-7) providing “hitless” redundancy switching.

The IQUCP25 Universal Compute Processor can adopt different Software Cores to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth multichannel broadcast processing/routing for SDI, MADI and IP applications.

This flexible powerhouse can deliver up to 16 channels of 3G-SDI, four channels of UHD-SDI (12G or Quad-link) or 8 bidirectional MADI channels, while seamlessly integrating with Grass...
