Introduction
1.1 Description
The IQMIX series is a range of multi-channel video over IP transceiver modules developed for
use within low latency, high bandwidth Ethernet IP networks, capable of encoding/decoding
multiple SDI signals. They provide both compressed and uncompressed modes of operation.
Using SMPTE 2042 (VC2) lightweight compression allows for high quality signal carriage
whilst optimizing bandwidth requirements, while sending signals uncompressed provides best
quality transport although at the expense of bandwidth.
Encapsulation of signals in a SMPTE 2022-6 transport stream can also be handled to provide
compatibility with other video over IP solutions.
RFC417 provides for uncompressed video transport, and supports RFC3190 for Audio and
the yet-to-be ratified Edwards standard for data.
At a physical level, HD-BNC and DensiShield connectors are catered for. DensiShield
connectors allow the cards to be partnered with SAM's IP expansion cards for the Sirius S800
router, allowing easy integration of video over IP networking with existing SDI base band
operations.
