Hardware Options and Software Licenses
3.3.1.4 Output Ports
• Maximum of eight output streams - up to eight can be ProMPEG FEC output
streams
• Supports all FEC modes specified in SMPTE 2022-1-2007 and SMPTE 2022-2-
2007 (based on ProMPEG CoP #3)
• 2 independent outputs, dual redundant outputs, or dual mirrored outputs
• 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps supported (full duplex only, both ports must be same
speed)
• Total of up to 1 Gbps output stream bandwidth per card
• Up to 952 Mbps bandwidth per Ethernet port (UDP, no FEC, 7 packets per
frame)
• Supports both UDP and RTP encapsulation
• Supports 188 bytes per TS packet
• Supports between 1 and 7 TS packets per frame
Note: This implies that all interfaces are carrying the same output data.
The maximum output rate (not including FEC overhead) for a single transport
stream is 250 Mbps.
3.3.1.5 License Information
Purchase of the card comes with a license for FEC on up to 32 Input Streams. A
license requires purchasing (MX8400/SWO/PROFEC/EXT) for each output FEC
transport stream.
3.3.2 Connectors
Each RJ-45 has speed, link and activity indicators located close to the associated
connector. Each port can be configured as follows:
• ports 1 and 2 as inputs, ports 3 and 4 as outputs;
• ports 1 and 2 as bidirectional, ports 3 and 4 not used.
This is fully explained in Annex E, Redundancy Modes. Figure 3.5 shows the rear
panel of the RJ-45 Ethernet Option module.
