IP-VFC - Ports
IP-VFC cards feature four rear ports:
- 2x configured for ST 2110 network video
- 2x for 12G-SDI video
IP-VFC Ports labelled
Ports Eth0 & Eth1 - ST 2110 Network Video
Section titled “Ports Eth0 & Eth1 - ST 2110 Network Video”Plugging a 25Gb network SFP module in to Eth0 (Port 1) allows the IP-VFC to output ST 2110 Network video.
Plugging a second 25Gb network SFP module into Eth1 (Port 2) allows the IP-VFC to output a redundant ST 2110 Network video stream. Using SMPTE 2022-7 receivers can rely on packet-level redundancy to ensure no packets are missed even in noisy networks.

Ports 3 & 4 - SDI Video
Section titled “Ports 3 & 4 - SDI Video”Inserting a 12G or 3G SDI SFP module into Port 3 or Port 4 enables the IP-VFC to output an SDI video signal.
In the future, Port 3 and Port 4 will support dual 3G-SDI SFP modules for Quad mode output, like a Quad Split SDI SFP module, but this functionality is not currently supported.
