  • Page 11: Overview

    EQX-IP18-IPG modules providing square and non-square matrix configurations from as small as 18 inputs through to 576 inputs. The EQX-IP18-IPG hybrid input card provides a gateway to link into IP infrastructures as well as allow a more efficient way to tieline routers together. IP based video packetized and transported over fiber will provide greater density and longer distances than coax based solutions would yield, yet still maintaining the low latency and proper SDI SMPTE switching capabilities in the EQX.
