The 

ActiveSQX is a half length PCI-Express plug in card with two Gigabit 

Ethernet input nodes support-

ing real time decode of multiple IP streams. Using the ActiveSQX decoding technology provides the user 

seamless integration of IP video to a Datapath Wall Controller.

Each ActiveSQX card can capture a bandwidth equivalent to twelve 

1920x1080 @30Hz streams on to any 

wall controller that uses Datapath graphics cards.  The number of streams the ActiveSQX provides  

depends on a number of factors such as the decoder profile used.

Each card uses a single PCIe slot, is passively cooled and can easily be added to a system already using 

 

Datapath technology without the need to change existing configuration or front end software.  

 

This transparent software model enables the number of supported IP streams to be scaled up quickly  
according to the user requirements.  ActiveSQX also automatically balances the total decoding workload 
across all ActiveSQX cards in the system, allowing thermal power consumption to be distributed more  

efficiently.

SQX technology has been designed to work alongside the Datapath Vision range of capture cards  
supporting a mixture of local and remote capture feeds on the same display.  IP Streams are displayed 
on the video wall in the same way as captured video sources.  SQX functionality is compatible with many 
existing Vision window features.
