IQEDGE Introduction 1. Introduction 1.1 Description The IQEDGE is a 3RU/4RU enclosure containing an IQMIX IP transceiver module and a customer-defined selection of audio/video processing modules; 3RU models are also equipped with a cooling fan. Signals are received over IP, converted into SDI, processed, then converted back to IP for onward transmission.
IQEDGE Introduction • SMPTE-291M metadata support via IETF standard RTP Payload for Ancillary Data. • Timing and synchronization provided by IEEE-1588v2 (PTP), compliant with SMPTE-2059-2, or via the frame analog reference bus. • Up to 4 dual-channel IQ modules per IQEDGE rear panel, giving up to 8 processing channels, dual PSUs, cooling fans and control card as standard, plus full chassis monitoring for PSUs, temperature, fans and signal status.
IQEDGE Introduction 1.4 Block Diagrams 1.4.1 IQEDGE Processing Lanes In order to improve throughput, the IQEDGE provides two processing lanes. When used with dual-channel IQ modules, each module is able to process two jobs simultaneously. The processing lanes are independent of one another, and map directly to the processing channels of suitable IQ processing modules;...

IQEDGE RollCall Control Panel 5.5.1 Loop Enable Enables the Loop function for the applicable slot. 5.5.1.1 About the Loop Function Loop Enable disables IP routing for a slot, and daisy chains it via SDI to the next higher slot number along. This has the effect of starting or continuing a daisy chain, and sending the signal along it to the next slot for further processing.
Page 23
IQEDGE RollCall Control Panel Example 3: Creating Two 3-slot Daisy Chains on Separate IQEDGE Lanes Lanes cannot be crossed with SDI looping, but can with IP addressing. In this case, each chain is created as usual, but the link between the two must be created over IP.
