Speed Link Profiles3
- Speed Link Profile QUATTRO-I VITA 17.1 Board Config
- Active Lanes | Link Rate per Lane (Gb/s) | Payload Bandwidth per Lane (MB/s) | Aggregate Payload (MB/s)
- 4 | 1.0 – 2.5 | ~100 – 250 | ~400 – 1000
- 3 | 1.0 – 3.125 | ~100 – 312.5 | ~300 – 937.5
- 2 | 1.0 – 5.0 | ~100 – 500 | ~200 – 1000
- 1 | 1.0 – 6.2 | ~100 – 620 | ~100 – 620
- Speed Link Profile: QUATTRO-I VITA 17.3 Board Config
- Active Lanes | Link Rate per Lane (Gb/s) | Payload Bandwidth per Lane (MB/s) | Aggregate Payload (MB/s)
- 4 | 1.0 – 2.5 | ~118 – 296 | ~472 – 1184
- 3 | 1.0 – 3.125 | ~118 – 371 | ~354 – 1113
- 2 | 1.0 – 5.0 | ~118 – 593 | ~236 – 1186
- 1 | 1.0 – 6.2 | ~118 – 736 | ~118 – 736
- Note: Sustained host ingest is limited to ~1.0 GB/s due to PCIe Gen2 x4 architecture.
- Speed Link Profile: QUATTRO-II VITA 17.3 Board
- Active Lanes | Link Rate per Lane (Gb/s) | Payload Bandwidth per Lane (MB/s) | Aggregate Payload (MB/s)
- 4 | 10.3125 | ~1224 | ~1224
- 3 | 10.3125 | ~1224 | ~2448
- 2 | 10.3125 | ~1224 | ~3672
- 1 | 10.3125 | ~1224 | ~4896
- Sustained Host Ingest (4-lane board): ~10 GB/s (Limited by PCIe Gen3 x16 and storage subsystem architecture)
- Note: The payload bandwidth values shown are effective payload throughput after protocol framing and control overhead, and may therefore be lower than the theoretical payload derived solely from line rate and encoding efficiency. Values are provided for sizing and planning; sustained recorder ingest is additionally bounded by PCIe and storage subsystem architecture.
- (Reference: ~1224 MB/s per lane corresponds to ~9.79 Gb/s effective payload, or ~94.96% of 10.3125 Gb/s line rate.)
