SFP Module Connections
For SMPTE 2022-6 / SMPTE 2022-7 operation (s2022), modules inserted into the
two SFP+ cages can be used to connect two separate 10 Gigabit Ethernet Links.
With AJA Desktop Drivers, the SFP 1 and 2 modules are configured using AJA
Control Panel software, using the Input, Output, and Network Settings tabs. In
most cases, only SFP 1 will be used, providing up to two total streams of SD or
HD video, each with 16 audio channels and metadata, for simultaneous input or
output, i.e. when using SMPTE 2022-6. Both links are bi-directional (one In, one
Out). When using SMPTE ST 2022-7, the Lower SFP carries a duplicate of the Upper
SFP data.
For a list of SFP+ modules tested by AJA, see
"Appendix A Specifications" on page
Unicast and Multicast Support
Io IP supports both unicast and multicast operation. Unicast operation is point to
point, from one sender to one receiver. Multicast operation is from one sender to
possibly multiple receivers. In both cases, the sender transmits information to a
location (IP address) on the network, and receivers access that information over
the network using that location IP address. Compatible IP addresses are required
for each type of operation. These network settings filter the IP addresses so the
information is sent successfully to the desired receiver(s).
