Datapath SQX Technologies q SQX is Datapath’s collective name for video streaming & compression technologies. q SQX products open up a world of possibilities for video delivery, transmission and storage. q Easily scale projects from the management of a single stream to fully inclusive systems that accommodate a wide array of inputs and outputs q Streaming from a variety of sources to a number of destinations. ©Datapath Limited, 3/8/2021, Page 2

Datapath SQX Technologies Datapath’s range of SQX technologies gives customers the power to handle video to meet the needs of the Professional AV market. At the heart of SQX is the ability to take video and encode it for streaming or remote storage and to decode compressed data for use on a video wall or monitor. The Datapath SQX technology portfolio offers a series of products that can either work alone or as part of a much wider system to manage a vast amount of video in ways customers require. ©Datapath Limited, 3/8/2021, Page 3

SQX cards will automatically balance load whilst decoding streams. Example: 2 Active. SQX cards in a system can simultaneously decode the following: Number of Streams Resolution Frames / Sec 8 1920 x 1080 30 4 1280 x 720 60 60 640 x 480 30 1 Note: The table on the left is a guide to the number of simultaneous IP Streams that a single Active. SQX can decode and display. These figures are indicative and assume a nominal GOP length of 90 and Main Profile H. 264. The number of streams available will differ when using different compression technologies, profiles and GOP lengths. The maximum number of Simultaneous IP Decodes is 50

SQX Decode Preloading Including SQX cards into VSN systems provides a great many benefits that actively enhance both the user experience and end results: q Carousel & Camera Pre-loading § § Carousels are IP windows which switch between many predetermined IP feeds after a set amount of time. IP stream carousels are often difficult to achieve as resources are not available to continue to decode the existing stream whilst starting the decode of the new stream. The Active. SQX card solves this by adding capacity to allow the simultaneous decoding of both the current stream and the next in the list. This additional capacity does not impact the maximum number of streams available for delivery to a video wall, meaning multiple carousels can be achieved at once. ©Datapath Limited, 3/8/2021, Page 11 Initial Video Decode & Display 20 seconds New Decode Is Pre -Loaded New Decode is Displayed 20 seconds New Decode is Pre -Loaded New Decode is Displayed
