2. Both GigE ports of an EVS server need to be defined on different sub networks Teaming between the GigE 1 and GigE2 ports is not possible This is not possible to implement failover through the GigE network The GigE port available on the MTPC board PC LAN is a 100Base T port This is used for monitoring purposes XNet Monitor or for the communication with other applications LinX This can be in the same sub network as the GigE port 5 Hardware Installation and Cabling 63 EVS Broadcast Eguipment S A Issue 11 02 A July 2013 5 7 5 Switches Supported Switches All switches used on the GigE networks of EVS systems need to support jumbo frames Ethernet frames with more than 1 500 bytes of payload The following models of 19 inch Gigabit switches have been validated for use with EVS workflows HP Procurve 2510G 24 Cisco Catalyst 2960S 24TD 2960S 48TD 2960S 24TS 2960S 48TS e Cisco Catalyst 3750X 24TS 3750X 48TS Comparison The models HP Procurve 2510G 24 Cisco Catalyst 2960S 24TS and 2960S 48TS can be used for small setups where no inter VLAN routing is needed The models Cisco Catalyst 2960S 24TD and 2960S 48TD can be used for small setups where 10G uplinks are reguired but no inter VLAN routing is needed On larger setups both GigE ports of the XT3 servers or and several ports on the SANs are often used to increase the bandwidth or to allow redundancy Since both GigE ports of an XT3 server cannot be used on

44. Interpolator The 2 line interpolator actually generates a new field when the original field is in parity violation Each line of this new field is calculated by a weighted average of the 2 neighboring lines This process solves the problem of parity violation and vertical jitter but the drawback is a reduction of the vertical resolution on the interpolated fields that appear unfocused Another side effect is the alternation of original fields perfectly focused and interpolated fields unfocused resulting in a pumping video signal 4 Software Specifications 37 EVS Broadcast Eguipment S A Issue 11 02 A July 2013 38 4 Line Interpolator The 4 line interpolator uses a more sophisticated calculation based on the 4 neighboring lines By using suitable coefficients for the weight of each line in the resulting calculation we apply this interpolation to all fields The final result is a permanently slightly unfocused picture The advantage is a stable output signal with no jitter and no pumping but the vertical bandwidth is even more reduced The interpolator is of course always disabled at 10096 playback speed because there is no parity violation EVS uses the same techniques with the Super Slow Motion disk recorder working with all models of Super Motion cameras 150 180 Hz The only difference between the processing of Super Motion and normal scan 50 60 Hz signals is that the interpolator is always disabled at 33 playback sp
