IQUCP50 GATEWAY
Universal Compute Processor for 50GbE IP Systems
The IQUCP50 is a user-configurable multichannel video-over-IP transceiver developed for use within low latency and high bandwidth Ethernet IP networks. It can encapsulate or de-capsulate up to 16 SDI signals (depending on format) using either SMPTE ST 2110 or SMPTE ST 2022-6 encapsulation standards and transport them over redundant 50 GbE links (SMPTE ST 2022-7) with either dual or single port options providing “hitless” redundancy switching.
The IQUCP50 is a Universal Compute Processor offering low-latency, high-bandwidth multichannel broadcast processing/routing for SDI and IP applications. Delivering up 16 channels of 3G or four channels of UHD, this flexible powerhouse can adopt...

FEATURES
Key Features
- Handles up to 16 SDI signals over dual 50 GbE IP links with dual and single port rear panel options (number of channels dependent on SDI signal format)
- Multiple SDI standards and formats supported, including 12G Single-link & 2SI 1080p (3G) modes over Single-stream or Quad Stream SMPTE ST 2110
- Supports configuration of Ethernet links for maximum signal transport using both SFPs or for dual-link mode to provide link redundancy as per SMPTE ST 2022-7, and when operating as a receiver will dynamically adapt to any stream presented to it
- Supports IGMPv3 source-specific multicast, allowing transmission in multicast groups
- Supports frame-synchronized SDI inputs and outputs, with audio rate adaption, referenced to either SMPTE ST 2059-2 PTP or via the IQH4B frame analog reference bus for blackburst/trilevel syncs
- Fast, clean and quiet switching via make-before-break or break-before-make
- Low delay mode and independent H & V offset available for each channel along with up to two frames of video, and up to 255 ms of audio delay
- Seamless integration with GV Orbit Control, Configuration & Monitoring software, including logging and reporting

* Although IQ modules are interchangeable between enclosures, their rear panels are enclosure specific. Order codes ‘A’ or ‘B’ may be used when installing modules in a ‘B’ enclosure. However, order code ‘A’ must be used when installing modules in an ‘A’ enclosure. Please take time to ensure that the compatible order code is selected to match the chosen enclosure.
