Features & Specifications
Product Overview +
High-Density Modular Carrier Solution
The Evertz SCORPION-16 is a compact 1RU carrier chassis engineered to maximize module density for edge processing, signal conversion, and IP gateway applications. Streamlined specifically for facilities utilizing external switch fabrics or straightforward SDI processing pipelines, the SCORPION-16 omits internal crosspoints to deliver a low-cost, high-density MIO hosting platform.
Versatile Processing Footprint
By accepting up to 16 single-slot or 8 dual-slot Evertz Modular Input Output (MIO) cards, the chassis allows broadcast engineers to mix and match hardware functions within a shallow 9-inch frame depth:
- Processing Capabilities: Populate cards for 12G/3G-SDI video conversion, HDR color correction, audio shuffling/embedding, and stream encoding.
- Streamlined Operations: Ideal for high-density edge deployments where space, power efficiency, and direct input/output interface management are essential.
Redundancy & Serviceability
Built for continuous mission-critical operation, the SCORPION-16 features front-loading, hot-swappable fans, power supplies, and frame controllers. Out-of-band management is handled via Gigabit Ethernet, ensuring smooth integration into facility-wide monitoring networks.
