IP-VFC Interoperability
The IP-VFC card operates in concert with other Disguise hardware and software. To utilize it correctly you need to use the right hardware and software.
Hardware Interoperability
Section titled “Hardware Interoperability”The card has been designed to work in Disguise hardware using only backplane version 2 (BPv2).
Machines with backplane version 1 (BPv1) will not be able to use card slots
Machines with BPv2 will not function with legacy DP1.2 VFC cards but will continue to work with all other VFC cards (HDMI 2.0, QDVI, QSDI, DP1.4)
The table below shows the number of slots supported by IP-VFC cards. However, this may vary depending on the specific IP-VFC card model. To ensure compatibility, please verify your card’s serial number (SN).
