The EQX16 platform is a completely passive frame where all active components can be swapped. This makes it a high performance system that can be easily expanded to incorporate new technologies growing with your company needs and industry demands. EQX16 can be configured for many different environments; it supports 288x288 video IO with optional path-by-path redundancy, and it can even scale to 288x576 video IO. The EQX16-FRHBX-XL3 provides additional outputs via 27x XLINK connections for penalty free multiviewing; well suited for network and local broadcasters, mobile production, mobile flight packs, 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 robustness and redundancy, the EQX is ideal for mission critical and demanding 24/7 environments.
