VIP-X Family - The Complete Control Room Solution
The VIP-X simultaneously addresses two common challenges by combining a functional and highly reliable control room routing platform with a modular multi-image display system in one integrated package. Building your next control room will be simple using the VIP-X, as it enables two complex items in the control room to function as a single system.
The new VIP-X control room solution from Evertz represents the best of Evertz technology Advanced routing technology: Xenon & EQX, Advanced multi-viewer technology: MVP & VIP, Advanced user control system: MVP® server and Maestro software, Highest quality multi-image outputs: Most advanced scaling technology.
The VIP-X eliminates system complexity, saves space and is more economical compared to the traditional autonomous solutions. The VIP-X can be tailored for all control room signals and budget requirements. It is available in several package sizes from a 32 input system with up to 32 router outputs and as many as 24 multi-image displays, or it can be ordered as a larger systems that accommodate up to 288 inputs and 288 router outputs and as many as 72 multi-image displays.
EQX – 576x576 & 288x288 High Density SD / HD / 3G Router
High Density SD / HD / 3G Router By offering a format independent data path, the EQX supports signals from 3Mb/s all the way up to 3Gb/s including SD-SDI, HD-SDI, DVB-ASI, SMPTE 310M digital video formats as well as optical formats and other high data rate signals. In addition to this the EQX supports four independent timing planes which provides independent SMPTE compliant switching for up to four different digital video signal formats.
The EQX's exceptional Source-By-Source intelligent auto configuration facility allows the path to each destination to be independently and instantly re-configured to suit the requirements of the source being switched. This includes auto selecting the Reclocking/Non-reclocking circuitry, the ASI mode as well as selecting the correct switch point.
The inspired modular approach of the EQX's design provides excellent in-service expansion capabilities. In convenient steps of 18, the number of inputs and/or outputs can be increased from the base size of 18x18 all the way up to 576x576, and beyond, in square and non-square configurations.
Utilizing internal passive splitting technology the EQX can offer passive looping inputs that remain SMPTE compliant. Using the passive input splitting as well as passive output combining the EQX offers the ability to scale up to 1152x1152 without requiring complex, expensive and difficult to install and maintain external splitting and combining or active DA-ing of sources and switching of destinations
Available Double Density Outputs allow the EQX to grow past 576 outputs in the 26RU chassis and past 288 outputs in the 16RU chassis.
The EQX now integrates X-Link on both 16 and 26RU models. X-Link is a high density interconnect to a wide variety of Evertz Multiveiw Processors that DOES NOT use up standard router outputs. A 576x576 EQX will still have the full 576 outputs while supporting more than 200 additional outputs to an Evertz Multiview Processor. XLink technology is a unique Evertz signal interconnect carrying a large block of signals over a single connector.
The EQX supports the ability to DE-embed AES from any input signal deliver it as discrete AES, Analog Audio, MADI, or to be recombined with other AES channels, Analog inputs, Discrete AES inputs and RE-embedded on any output video. Any type of input: Embedded AES, Discrete AES, Analog to any type of output: Embedded AES, Discrete AES, Analog
The EQX delivers a high broadcast quality 576x576 routing capability in a compact 26RU frame, while expansion to 1152x1152 ensures a migration path for even larger applications.
QMC-2, QMG, QMC-DCP QMC Master Control Switcher
Master Control is the heart of any broadcast facility. Demands for reliability, serviceability, and signal protection are essential. Equally essential, is a Master Control that can be expanded to provide for future growth as facilities migrate from analog to SD to HD. Many broadcasters look at master control as a major long-term investment.
The QMC-2 master control switcher has been designed to meet the current Master Control needs with the capacity to meet future needs. The QMC-2 platform provides a cost-effective solution for facilities converting to SD and HD. The hardware platform runs solid field-proven software to form a foundation that meets the latest playout and branding needs. Other major features the platform includes are bypass and emergency inputs, hot-swappable hardware, and redundant power supplies. Combined, these features create a reliable system for 24/7 year round programming.
QMC-2 offers a unique approach to Master Control with SD and HD channels with a number of options and a broad selection of configurable control panels. QMC-2 systems can be assembled to meet any need and size. A QMC-2 system is comprised of an upstream router, feeding a number of processing channels. This architecture allows systems to scale from a single channel up to a complex multi-channel installation with minimal effort. The feature rich QMC-2 can be easily controlled under automation or manual control. The QMC-2 intelligent LCD pushbutton control panels give operators high flexibility in panel layout and user-friendly functionality. The QMC-2 also integrates seamlessly with the Evertz multi-viewer MVP product line, which allows customers to have a complete "turn key" master control solution.
