4 .edge - Licensed Feature Sets
The functionality of each processing blade is unlocked by a series of software licenses.
Firstly, the number of ".edge_SDI" licenses determines the number of active SDIs (on the rear I/O plate). Secondly, the
advanced feature licenses can be used to unlock the Input Frame Synchronization, Video Gearboxing and 100Gbps
operation (including 3G and UHD format support).
The available licenses are determined by a licensing file that must be uploaded to the processing blade. Once this is in
place, the user can choose which licenses are active, or how they are assigned, using the HOME Web UI.
For more information on the activation procedure, see License Activation. Here we describe how the licensing model works
for each option.
4.1 Software License Options
In the current release, there are four features of .edge that require a valid license (or licenses):
Additional SDI Interfacing
Input Frame Synchronization
Video Gearboxing
100Gbps ope 3G and UHD format support
SDI Interfacing
The .edge_sdi software license enables 16 x SDI interfaces on the rear I/O plate.
Each .edge_gateway processing blade comes with a single .edge_sdi_inc license (for 16 x SDIs). The number of SDIs can be
expanded by adding one or two .edge_sdi licenses (for 32 or 48 x SDIs).
Licensing Requirements:
1 x .edge_sdi_inc license is included (per blade).
Up to 2 x .edge_sdi licenses can be added (per blade).
Input Frame Synchronization
The .edge_fsync software license enables input frame synchronization for a single SDI input. It allows the user to adjust the
timing of an SDI input as follows:
Video: 1 frame adjustable delay in line OR pixel granularity + one subsequent frame sync (= maximum delay of 2
frames).
Audio: up to 250 seconds applied to all channels of the SDI audio essence.
Licensing Requirements:
For SD and HD, you will need 1 x .edge_fsync license for each SDI input.
For UHD (single-link 12G-SDI or quad-link 3G-SDI), you will need 4 x .edge_fsync licenses for each 12G instance.
Up to 48 x .edge_fsync licenses are possible (per blade).
Video Gearboxing
The .edge_gbox software license enables 3G UHD gearboxing for a quad-link 3G-SDI signal (input or output). It allows you
to connect 4 x 3G-SDI inputs or outputs to transport a 12G signal (also known as quad-link 3G-SDI).
Licensing Requirements:
All software licenses are perpetual and locked to an individual processing blade. 
