UCP-3901 Gateway

Universal Compute Processor for Densité 3+

The UCP-3901 is a user-configurable multichannel video/audio-over-IP transceiver developed for use within low-latency and high-bandwidth Ethernet IP networks. The UCP-3901 provides a hardware platform which can offer different functionality depending on the software option loaded. These options are known as Software-Defined Cores (SDCs), and can be purchased through a licensing mechanism and loaded as operational needs demand.

UCP-3901-25-EP and UCP-3901-50-EP are the Essence Processing core and act as a high-performance, versatile gateway which can encapsulate or de-capsulate up to 16 SDI signals (depending on format) to/from uncompressed SMPTE ST 2110 and/or SMPTE ST 2022-6....

UCP-3901

The UCP-3901 is a user-configurable multichannel video-over-IP transceiver developed for use within low-latency and high-bandwidth Ethernet IP networks. It can simultaneously encode two and decode two 12G SDI signals using either SMPTE ST 2110 or SMPTE ST 2022-6 encapsulation standards and transport them over dual 25 GbE links (SMPTE ST 2022-7) providing "hitless" redundancy switching.
