EQX26 has the ability to route up to 576x576 signals in a compact 26RU frame. Additionally, EQX26-FRQT-XLINK2 includes 18x XLINK connections. The EQX26 frame offers the ability to scale up to a 1152x1152 system without requiring complex, expensive external splitting or use of active DAs for sources or combining and switching of destinations. The expansion capabilities of EQX26 provide peace of mind that the routing matrix can scale up beyond the constraints of a single frame as applications change and grow. All these factors and more make EQX26 most suitable for applications like network and local broadcasters, mobile production, cable, military, government, and corporate applications.

The EQX platform is Evertz' flagship routing and distribution solution, designed for high availability by adopting extensive industry-leading redundancy for all critical system elements. With its time-proven, robust characteristics, EQX is ideal for mission-critical and demanding 24/7 environments.
