The SCORPION-X18 Media Processing Platform is a high density signal conversion, video processing, routing, aggregation and transport platform capable of simultaneously transporting video, audio and data over traditional dark fiber and/or managed IP networks. Using SCORPION Mini I/O Modules the SCORPION-X18 is highly flexible and can accommodate 12G/6G/3G/HD/SD-SDI, DVB-ASI, 10/100/1000MbE, 10GbE, analog/AES/MADI audio, HDMI, Intercom, serial data and Telco interfaces. An onboard 12G crosspoint allows uncompressed routing internal to the chassis. Up to 18x front-facing fiber or electrical SFPs allow for signal conversion, or additional signal I/O to and from the chassis. Optional media conversion to IP is available through a network adapter module. When multiple frames are combined, the transport platform becomes ultra-scalable, enabling the sharing of content across IP or fiber networks.
