KRONOS Optikos3G ST IP

QUALIFIED SFP+ HARDWARE MODULES

SDI Coax, SDI Fiber and HDMI SFP+ hardware modules can be hot swapped in and out of the KRONOS Optikos3G ST IP video card without requiring a firmware, driver, software update, change of video card or change of video server. Changing the video interface is as simple as hot swapping the SFP+ hardware module saving on the capex cost of purchasing a fixed video interface server.

Hot swapping SFP+ hardware modules to change the video interface is a far more cost efficient process than purchasing a new turnkey video server.

SMPTE IP Hardware

3 x SMPTE IP hardware modules have been loaded into OPTIKOS3G ST IP video card supporting 6 x 2110/2022 transmit (TX) or receive (RX) of HD-3G video modes.

Each SMTE IP module supports 2022-6/7 and 2110-20/30/40 10Gb Multimode Fiber.

SMPTE IP Hardware Features

Clean switching can be used on a receiver to switch between two sources on the same network without any visible/audible interruption.

A Frame Sync license is available to lock 2110 TX streams when the KRONOS Optikos3G ST IP cannot be locked to a common reference source already locked to the network PTP timing.

Additional 1 Channel SMPTE 2022-6 and STMPTE 2110 TX and RX licenses can be added to each SMPTE IP module optionally. Only 1 license at any time can run live.

Additional 2 Channel SMPTE 2022-6 and STMPTE 2110 TX and RX licenses can be added to each SMPTE IP module optionally. Only 1 license at any time can run live.
