⚠️ If you use IP-VFC cards, we recommend updating to r29. This will also require a firmware update which you can perform using the IP-VFC firmware updater tool on the Resources page under the VFC Firmware Update tab.

IP-VFC - Split Mode

Split Mode indicates how the video is outputted. The IP-VFC can be set up so that users can switch between two modes - ST 2110 and SDI.

Small form-factor pluggables (SFPs) feature different connections that can be used to enable a host of different outputs, such as 3G SDI or 12G SDI.

  • SINGLE Mode means a single video output is enabled, and would be used if using a 25Gb or 12G SDI SFP for example

ST 2110 mode supports up to a 25Gb video stream from Port 1 using SFPs. A redundant signal using Port 2 can be enabled in the event that the signal from Port 1 goes down, using SMPTE 2022-7 for packet-level redundancy.

  • QUAD Mode splits the image into four quadrants, and would be used if using dual SDI SFPs for Quad-SDI output for example

Ports 3 and 4 are used for SDI video signals using SFPs. Either a SINGLE output can be completed using a 12G SDI SFP, or a QUAD output using quad-SDI SFPs on Ports 3 and 4.
