Generalinstructionsforsecurity

Thedeviceismanufacturedinaccordancewithtoday’stechnologyandwithrespecttosecurityregulations.

The encoder must not be opened. Top removal or disassembly of mechanical parts results in the invalidation of the                  

productwarranty.

The top housing of the AQORD product should always be in place during normal operation. Top removal should be                  

performedonlybyaqualifiedperson.

You, as the user of the product, should follow these warnings and all other safety precautions necessary for the safe                   

operationoftheequipmentinyouroperatingenvironment.



Please make sure to read the whole User’s manual before connecting AQORD equipment. This manual is part of the                  

deviceandisdeliveredwithit.Pleaserefertoandrespectsafetyandsecurityprecautions.



The electrical safety hazards should not be ignored, as they are as great as other electrical systems operating from                  

AC power lines. The voltages involved and the current available have the potential to cause fatal electric shock.                 

Although the AQORD product is compliant to CE electrical requirements and additional safety features have been               

included in their design, the following safety precautions should be noted and observed under the control of the                 

Missioncriticalvideotransport

One objective of broadcasters while deploying their IP infrastructure is to achieve the robustness of synchronous               

telecomorsatellitenetworksonprivateleasedlineswhilereducingsignificantlythecorrespondingproductioncosts.



The experience gained from existing IP infrastructures proved that IP network disturbances are of a different nature                

when occurring inside the Telco backbone infrastructure or during the “Last Mile” path (i.e. near/inside the               

broadcasterspremises).



So it is essential for the broadcaster to choose an appropriate operation strategy for each different type of transport he                   

willuse,suchasfullymanagednetworksusingQoSor“Besteffort”networks(Internet,Wireless3G/4GandWifi).

transmissioninordertomeetBroadcastersandTelcosIPtransportstrategies.



At the source side, AQORD sends and carries the same Video IP stream on two distinct networks. Then on the                   

receiver side, it automatically synchronizes both received streams. The different IP paths followed on each network               

ensures that the potential failures are statistically uncorrelated, enabling the reconstruction of an unique unperturbed              
