Disguise User Guide
⚠️ If you use IP-VFC cards, we recommend updating to r29.0 or later. 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 System Configuration

The IP-VFC can be used in 2 main ways, either with an SDI SFP attached to output 12G SDI signals directly or to output ST 2110 video signals over a network. Instructions for how to configure the card in each mode are shown below.

We recommend using the IP-VFC card with the following configurations:

System configuration in SDI mode

Section titled “System configuration in SDI mode”

IP-VFC system configuration

System configuration in ST 2110 mode

Section titled “System configuration in ST 2110 mode”

IP-VFC system configuration

The ST 2110 mode configuration provides a plug and play solution for IP-VFC. Please note that we recommend and validate our ST 2110 workflows with Disguise Fabric network switches. If you are unable to use a Fabric switch or otherwise want to use a different network switch, please be aware this will require you to manually configure the switch correctly. If you want to use a different network switch, please let us know by reaching out to support@disguise.one so we can help ensure a successful project delivery.

Forward Error Correction (FEC) is disabled on the IP-VFC. Please ensure that the ports that the IP-VFC is connected to on the network switch are set to NO FEC in order to work with the IP-VFC.

We also strongly recommend the use of multimode OM4 fiber cables instead of DAC cables with an ST 2110 system using IP-VFC as we have identified variable performance when using DAC cables.
