Evertz SC-1000
The aim of this connector is mainly to control and monitor a matrix.
About
The connector uses two connections. The main connection (smart-serial) implements the Quartz communication protocol to monitor and control a matrix. The second connection (SNMP) is used to get general device information.

- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device (e.g., 172.23.40.205).
- IP port: The IP port of the device. Required, default value: 23.
- Bus address: The bus address of the device. Required, range: 1 to 16.
SNMP Polling connection
This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:
SNMP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
- Device address: Not required.
SNMP Settings:
- Port number: The port of the connected device (e.g., 161).
- Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device (e.g., public).
- Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device (e.g., private).
Usage
Main View
This page contains the matrix.
General
Here, you can find the following parameters: Q-Link Version, Q-Link Address, Version, Memory, Installed Modules, Disk Usage, Upper/Lower PSU Temperature, Setup, Control State, Matrix Destination, Matrix Destination Status and Lock/Unlock buttons.
Matrix Configuration
On this page, configuration parameters are available: Number of Inputs, Number of Outputs, Number of Levels, Local IP-Address, Remote IP-Address. When changing the Number of Inputs and Number of Outputs parameters, the matrix size is automatically updated. Then, you need to press the Refresh Matrix to immediately poll the matrix crosspoints and inputs/outputs labels.
The Reset Router allows to reset the matrix connections.
Matrix Details
Following tables are displayed:
- Source Table: contains the labels retrieved for each input and used in the matrix on the Main View page
- Destination Table: contains the labels retrieved for each output and used in the matrix on the Main View page
- Level Table: contains the names associated to each matrix level
