The Evertz EQT-3232-H+2PS is a professional 32x32 broadcast-grade video router designed for mission-critical signal distribution in television production, playout, and post-production facilities. This frame-based router supports a comprehensive mix of standard-definition and high-definition video signals, including 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI, providing a flexible and scalable core for routing video, embedded audio, and ancillary data throughout a broadcast infrastructure. Its primary function is to allow any of its 32 inputs to be connected to any of its 32 outputs with full signal transparency, enabling technical directors, engineers, and editors to dynamically manage signal flow for live switching, recording, monitoring, and distribution. The unit is engineered for maximum reliability and redundancy, featuring dual, hot-swappable power supplies to ensure uninterrupted operation, which is essential for 24/7 broadcast environments where system failure is not an option.

The router's architecture is built around a high-bandwidth, non-blocking crosspoint matrix that ensures signal integrity with ultra-low jitter and zero switching glitches. It incorporates advanced signal processing capabilities, including automatic equalization and reclocking on all inputs to recover signals degraded by long cable runs, and provides re-driven, pristine outputs. The system manages embedded audio seamlessly, passing it through the video path without the need for separate audio routing infrastructure. Control is highly flexible, offering multiple interfaces such as front-panel pushbuttons, Ethernet for SNMP and web-based management, and serial ports for integration with large-scale broadcast control systems like Evertz' own VistaLink or third-party automation. This allows for centralized monitoring, configuration, and control of the entire routing fabric from a single interface.

Housed in a compact 2RU frame, the EQT-3232-H+2PS is designed for high-density installation in standard equipment racks. Its modular design allows for potential field upgrades and easy serviceability. The router supports sophisticated control features like salvo switching, where multiple routes can be changed simultaneously on a single command, and includes comprehensive redundancy protocols. By providing a robust, flexible, and reliable central nervous system for video signal management, the Evertz 32x32 SD/HD Video Router meets the exacting demands of modern broadcast facilities, ensuring content flows reliably from acquisition through to transmission.
