Introduction The UCP-3901 / IQUCP25 / IQUCP50 provides a hardware platform which can offer different functionality depending on the software option loaded. These options are known as Software-Defined Cores (SDCs), and can be purchased through a licensing mechanism and loaded as operational needs demand.
The multiviewer comprises an advanced multiviewer for monitoring applications. It has 12 video inputs and up to 4 multiviewer head display outputs. Multiviewer video wall layouts are designed using the Grass Valley Orbit software tool. The multiviewer SDC requires the multiviewer license.
