EQX - Evertz' industry known and established flagship baseband routing and distribution platform - has a new addition to its family: a 12G-SDI Enterprise Class router!
EQX-UHD is designed to support full 4K and UHD 12Gbps single-wire signals. Adopting the same fundamental modular design philosophies and core redundancy concepts found in our 3G EQX routers, EQX-UHD is ideal for mission-critical and demanding 24/7 environments.
A passive backplane and passive I/O rear plates allow for all critical active components to be hot-swappable from the front of the router. Featuring industry-leading path-by-path signal redundancy with redundant power, dual hot-swappable frame controllers and hot-swappable cooling fans, EQX-UHD is a true broadcast-quality enterprise router!
This 10RU frame is future-ready for 180x180 12Gbps SDI signals and is suitable for many mid-sized UHD/4K applications like mobile production, mobile flight packs, network and local broadcasters, cable, military, government and corporate applications.
System Flexibility
The inspired, modular approach of the EQX-UHD design provides excellent in-service expansion capabilities.
Ultra-Wide Band Routing
By offering a format-independent data path, EQX-UHD supports signals from 3Mbps all the way up to 12Gbps. In addition, EQX-UHD also supports four independent timing planes which provide independent SMPTE-compliant switching for up to four different digital video signal formats.
Comprehensive Control
EQX-UHD provides comprehensive connectivity to suit the most demanding installations. The internal frame controllers provide dual hot-connectivity, leveraging the power of MAGNUM to allow hosting of any number of remote control panels and third-party control devices like automation systems.
Processing capabilities
EQX-UHD supports the ability to natively de-embed AES from any input signal, deliver it as discrete audio and then re-embed on any video output. It can integrate EMR-TDM audio modules just as the 3G EQX10 router does, which allows for expansion and audio integration without using up the valuable video ports on the router. Additional license-enabled processing features are available.
Multiviewer Processor Integration
Carried over from the traditional EQX 3G frames, EQX-UHD also boasts penalty-free multiviewer outputs. Traditional XLINK cables can be utilized in conjunction with VIPX technology to achieve extensive multiviewer capability without the need to sacrifice outputs on the router.
Simple Maintenance
The advanced design of EQX-UHD ensures that ALL active components including input, output, routing crosspoint modules, frame controllers and even the cooling fans and power supplies are accessible from the front of the frame and can be hot-swapped at any time for maintenance.
Input and Output Flexibility
EQX-UHD is the ultimate design in terms of system availability, with architecture that contains redundant protection for all critical system elements. This architecture provides redundant 12Gbps single-wire crosspoints, dual hot-swappable and redundant frame controllers, external redundant load-sharing power supplies, redundant easy-access cooling fans and a dedicated monitoring bus that is independent of system crosspoint control. In the event of a failure, automatic re-routing of signals is fully supported by the system software. Using EQX-UHD monitoring capabilities, output quality can be verified prior to switching to redundant signal paths.
EQX-UHD is a fully SNMP-enabled system with independent network connections and supports seamless integration with VistaLINK® PRO Command & Control systems.
