The next challenge of the video network designing is the bandwidth
management. The next section describes how to calculate the
calculation.
Installation and Network Setup Guide for UBEX 6
Bandwidth Requirements
The bandwidth calculation consists of two components:
▪
▪Uplink bandwidth
The following sections give the details about these components.
Stream Bandwidth Requirements
The correct formula:
XACTIVE x YTOTAL x fps x ColorDepth x VideoPacketizingLossRatio = Total signal bandwidth
Description
XACTIVE Number of the columns of the active resolution 3840
YTOTAL
Total number of the lines including the blanking
area 2250
fps Refresh rate 60 Hz
ColorDepth Color depth 24 bit
VideoPacketingLossRatio The ratio of the packet loss due to the packeting
and the protocol 1.05663
For the exact calculation you should know the total resolution of the stream because the transmitted number

If the stream information is unknown to the
designer, to get the information of the active

Based on the formula the calculation is the following:
3840 x 2250 x 60 x 24 x 1.05663 = 13 146 167 808 = 13.15 Gb/s
