1. Introduction
1.1 Description
The IQCAG00 enables out-of-band remote control of IQ IP interfacing and processing
modules, via dual RJ45 1GbE links.
Using the internal communications bus within IQ frames, the IQCAG00 allows any IP modules
installed in the frame to communicate via dual redundant 1GbE links separate to the IP video
transport. This is ideal for networks where independent video and data transport has been
mandated, and the dual 1GbE links also provide additional redundancy for control layers. IP
modules can also communicate in-band, providing further control flexibility.
IQCAG00 fully integrates with SAM’s RollCall control and monitoring system, including its
broadcast-centric IP routing and network management solution, designed to migrate
broadcasters from a traditional baseband routing and control environment to new Hybrid
SDI/IP work flows.
1.2 Feature Summary
•
Dual 1GbE Ethernet links for remote control interfacing out-of-band.
•
Aggregates control for any IP interfacing or processing modules in the same
enclosure.
•
RollCall and IP routing control and monitoring compatible, with standard logging and
reporting features.
•
Provides independent control links with built in redundancy.
•
Useful for applications requiring control flexibility both in and out of band.
1.3 Application Notes
1.3.1 About Power Ratings
SAM IQ modules are assigned a
Power Rating
(PR). This figure represents the relative power
consumption of a module.
SAM modular enclosures are also assigned PR values. This figure represents the maximum
power available from the enclosure.
The combined total of all modules’ PR values must not exceed the enclosure’s PR value.
1.3.2 Power Ratings and Card Widths
Note:
If a module’s PR value is not known, use the module’s power consumption figure in watts
as the PR value.
