CQS 1462

12G-SDI to 3G-SDI Bi-Directional Converter

The CQS 1462 is a compact solution designed to bridge Quad Link 3G-SDI to Single Link 12G-SDI devices with support for 2SI and SQD.

Conversion modes include:

  • 12G-SDI to 4x 3G-SDI (Quad Link 2SI and SQD)
  • 6G-SDI to 4x 1.5G-SDI (Quad Link 2SI and SQD)
  • 4x 3G-SDI (Quad Link 2SI and SQD) to 12G-SDI
  • 4x 1.5G-SDI (Quad Link 2SI and SQD) to 6G-SDI
  • Auto Quad Link to Single Link
  • Distribution Amplifier: 1×6 (1×5 + Loop-In) supported for all formats

Operational mode can be selected from the local rotary switch or via control software.
Link identification is possible through on-screen overlays which can be helpful for connectivity problems or link loss.

The module is suitable for all SMPTE standards ranging from 1.5G-SDI to 12G-SDI (SMPTE 292M, 424M, 2081 and 2082).

The 12G-SDI SFP cage offer optional fiber connectivity for both CWDM and non-CWDM variants.

The module is fully compatible with yelloGUI and LynxCentraal. It can be configured, controlled and updated using Windows or MacOS.
