GX 3+ IP-VFC Support Guidelines
This page describes the IP-VFC support level when the card is installed in a GX 3+ media server. For general IP-VFC information, please see the IP-VFC Overview.
IP-VFC support on the GX 3+
Section titled “IP-VFC support on the GX 3+”IP-VFC FW 26.2 has introduced full format support for IP-VFC cards across all current media server ranges.
Supported configurations
Section titled “Supported configurations”The table below shows which VFC modes, split modes and sync sources the GX 3+ supports on FW 26.2.
Resolutions are per output. Quad mode lists 1080p because it produces four outputs which together total 4K DCI, rather than because it is limited to a 1080p image.
| Media Server | VFC Mode | Split Mode | Sync | Resolution per output | IP-VFC FW 26.2 (Current Gold) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GX 3+ | ST 2110 | Single + Quad | PTP | 1080p to 2160p | Supported |
| SDI | Single | EXT | 1080p to 2160p | Supported | |
| SDI | Quad | EXT | 1080p | Supported |
The IP-VFC Interoperability page compares all media servers and covers earlier firmware versions.
Supported formats
Section titled “Supported formats”Specific formats supported in SDI and ST 2110 modes on the IP-VFC when used with the GX 3+ can be seen in the table below.
All video formats are supported when using IP-VFC firmware 26.2 and Designer r34.1 or above.
On earlier firmware the GX 3+ is more limited. FW 25.1 is not validated for the GX 3+ at all, and FW 24.4 supports SDI in Single mode only.
