Product ManualManual

The SCORPION-X18 Media Processing Platform is a high density signal conversion, video processing, routing, aggregation and transport platform capable of simultaneously transporting video, audio and data over traditional dark fiber and/or managed IP networks.

Using SCORPION Mini I/O Modules the SCORPION-X18 is highly flexible and can accommodate 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI, DVB-ASI, 10/100/1000MbE, 10GbE, analog/AES/MADI audio, HDMI, Intercom, serial data and Telco interfaces. An onboard 12G crosspoint allows uncompressed routing internal to the chassis.

Up to 18x front-facing fiber or electrical SFPs allow for signal conversion, or additional signal I/O to and from the chassis. Optional media conversion to IP is available through a network adapter module. When multiple frames are combined, the transport platform becomes ultra-scalable, enabling the sharing of content across IP or fiber networks.

Features
  • High density fully modular 1RU form factor
  • All-in-one platform handles all signal conversion, routing and transport needs
  • Up to 18x single or 8x dual slots for populating mini I/O modules
  • 12G-SDI cross-point to facilitate maximum flexibility of all I/O
  • Dual 10/25/40/100GbE throughput (QSFP trunk ports)
  • +NETAD option supporting deployment of software services/APPs
  • Simultaneous IP and dark fiber transport
  • MSA compliant SFP interfaces
  • Diverse signal types such as 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI, DVB-ASI, 10/100/1000/10G Ethernet, Analog/AES/MADI audio, HDMI, Intercom, serial data and Telco interfaces
  • Main and redundant power modules and external power supply
  • Integrated with Evertz' MAGNUM, VistaLINK® PRO, inSITE and VUE, along with external APIs
