IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “Dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of important operating and maintenance (Servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying the product.
•Read these instructions
•Keep these instructions.

EQX–IP18-IPG
EQX Input and IP Gateway Module
Revision 1.0 Page - 1
1. OVERVIEW
EQX-IP18-IPG is an 18-channel hybrid EQX input module that allows existing or new EQX routers the
ability to bridge to the IP world. This IP Gateway module is fully featured with the ability for
encapsulation and de-encapsulation of video signals over IP. There are 18 inputs on the EQX that can
be selected for either baseband inputs or 10GE IP sources, each of the 18 inputs have a framesync
designed to re-time the input video signal to the EQX frame reference signal. The EQX-IP18-IPG
modules manage SDI video or 10GE IP source with or without embedded audio signal from 3Mb/s
through to 3Gb/s. It also de-embeds audio from all 18 inputs and multiplexes them onto 2 TDM
streams, one main and one redundant. Either TDM stream can be used as the primary since they are
both indentical.
The EQX input and IP gateway module provides a future proofing answer to the SDI based router and
infrastructure, allowing for a smooth integration under MAGNUM Unified Control system for Evertz
Software Defined Video Network (SDVN) solution.
Like all other EQX input cards, the EQX-IP18-IPG is cooled by the EQX-FAN-BIN, fully hotswappable
and accessed from the front of the EQX frame. The EQX router can be loaded with a maximum of 32
EQX-IP18-IPG modules providing square and non-square matrix configurations from as small as 18
inputs through to 576 inputs.
The EQX-IP18-IPG hybrid input card provides a gateway to link into IP infrastructures as well as allow a
more efficient way to tieline routers together. IP based video packetized and transported over fiber will
provide greater density and longer distances than coax based solutions would yield, yet still maintaining
the low latency and proper SDI SMPTE switching capabilities in the EQX.
For added system flexibility the EQX-IPG-DIN-RP can be used with a standard 18 input 3G and HD
Green modules utilizing our IP ready adapter module.
Features & Benefits
•18 SD/HD/3G SDI inputs
•18 uncompressed IP inputs (de-encapsulators)
•18 uncompressed IP outputs (encapsulators)
•Six 10 GbE interfaces
•Fully compatible with all EQX frame models
•Full Audio demux (AVIP) for all sources ( SDI or IP ,18 total) over TDM so that it can be
routed/processed separately
•Full framesync option for all 18 sources
•Four additional frames of delay can be added
•Support SMPTE ST 259, SMPTE ST 292-1, SMPTE ST 425-1 Level A
•Input expansion in increments of 18, from 18 through to 576
•Access to all modules from front of the EQX
•All modules are hot-swappable
•Fan cooled by EQX-FAN-BIN

VIDEO/IP CONNECTIONS
•18 SDI Mini DIN Inputs: The 18 Mini DIN connectors are compatible with SMPTE ST 259,
SMPTE ST 292-1 and SMPTE ST 425-1 Level A input signals. The module can automatically
detect the input video standard.
•6 SFP+ Connectors: The six SFP+ data ports are bi-directional and can be used for both
encapsulation and de-encapsulation for the SDI streams. Supports SMPTE ST 259, SMPTE
ST 292-1 and SMPTE ST 425-1 Level A input and output signals.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS
•2 TDM Outputs:Two Mini DIN connectors for TDM audio (compatible with Evertz TDM v2 only)

Note: EQX-IP18-IPG only supports the RPC based system. All input and output
modules including the frame controller must have the RPC based firmware. There
is no FLink support for the EQX-IP18-IPG.

3. FRAME TYPES
A typical EQX platform has the ability to route up to 576x576 signals in a standard 26RU frame, up to
288x288 in a standard 16RU frame and up to 180X180 in a 10 RU frame. EQX platform can be
expanded beyond its standard routing capability by adding X-Link expansions to the frame. The most
common frame types are as follow:
1. Standard 26RU,16RU and 10RU frames
2. 26RU frames with Xlink expansion outputs
3. 16RU frames with Xlink expansion outputs
4. 10RU frames with Xlink expansion outputs
For more information on EQX frames see the EQX Series manual.

4. INSTALLATION
Before handling the card it is important to minimize the potential effects of static electricity. It is
therefore recommended that an ESD strap be worn.
Locate a vacant slot on the router chassis. Each rear plate can house up to two modules.

Note: The orientation of the rear plate and EQX–IP18-IPG module are different
when installing on the top verses the bottom of the EQX26 frame
4.1. INSTALLATION OF REAR PLATE OR MODULE INTO TOP HALF OF A EQX26 FRAME
Most of the time cards come preinstalled in the frame if both frame and the cards are ordered together.
In the case of installing spare cards and rear plates into the frame, the following steps need to be taken
into consideration.
Step 1 : Install the EQX-IP18-IPG rear plate to the top half of the EQX frame with screws provided and
make sure the orientation of the rear plate is the same as shown in Figure 3-1.
