ILC410 Module Functional Description

Video Network Input to IP Network Output

This section describes how the ILC410 receives a signal from the video network and processes the signal for output to a managed IP network (see Figure 1).

Video Network Input

The ILC410 accepts SDI or ASI video signals from the following sources:

• Two 75Ohm BNC input connectors—Located on the rear panel of the module, these are the most commonly used inputs. The connectors are labeled INA and INB and each one is dedicated to a specic video channel: CHA or CHB.

• Another chassis module—Signals from other modules in the host chassis can be received through the backplane.

You select the digital video source using IL Manager (see the “Conguring the ILC410 Module” section on page

11). The ILC410 blocks any video signals that are not of the type selected to process (either SDI or ASI). When

no input signal is present, the front panel’s corresponding IN status LED illuminates yellow (solid) when the video channel is enabled.

The video input is also made available at the front-panel monitor jack, which is a 75Ohm HD-BNC connector that allows you to monitor the input and output video signals.

Video Processing

To prepare the input video for transportation over an Ethernet network, the ILC410 processes the input signal from the video network in accordance with SMPTE 2022-1/2/5/6 as follows:

1. Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) Encapsulation—Video packet payload and header are encapsulated in RTP packets.

2. FEC Encoding and Encapsulation—(Optional) FEC is applied and the RTP packets are encapsulated in FEC packets.

3. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and IP Encapsulation—FEC packets are encapsulated in UDP packets, which are then encapsulated in IP packets.

4. Ethernet MAC—IP packets are encapsulated in Ethernet packets.

Figure 2 shows a model of encapsulated video packets ready for transmission over an Ethernet network.

Figure 2. Encapsulating Video Packets for Ethernet Networks

IP Network Video Output

The ILC410 transmits encapsulated video to the managed IP network using an SFP.

ILC410 Function Module

IP Network Input to Video Network Output

This section describes the process by which the ILC410 receives encapsulated video signals from a managed IP network and outputs the decapsulated video signals to a video network (see Figure 1).

IP Network Input

The ILC410 receives encapsulated video from the managed IP network using an SFP, which can be:

• Optical—LC connector with optics that support WDM, CWDM, or DWDM wavelengths.

• Electrical—RJ45 connector.

Video Processing

The ILC410 processes the SMPTE 2022-1/2/5/6 from the IP network as follows:

1. Ethernet MAC—Ethernet header and trailer are removed from the IP packets.

2. IP and UDP Decapsulation—IP header and then the UDP header are removed.

3. FEC Decoding and Decapsulation—(Optional) FEC is applied to recover lost packets.

4. RTP Decapsulation—RTP header is removed.

Video Network Output

The ILC410 outputs the decapsulated SDI or ASI video signals to the following destinations:

• Two 75Ohm BNC output connectors—Located on the rear panel of the module, these are the most commonly used outputs. The connectors are labeled OUTA and OUTB and each one is dedicated to a specic video channel: CHA or CHB.

• Another chassis module—Output signals can be transmitted to other modules in the chassis through the backplane connector.

You select the digital video destination using IL Manager (see the “Conguring the ILC410 Module” section on

page 11).

The video output is also made available at the front-panel monitor jack, which is a 75Ohm HD-BNC connector that allows you to monitor the input and output video signals.

Electrical Inputs and Outputs

The ILC410 uses the following electrical inputs and outputs:

• Rear panel BNC connectors.

• Backplane connector.

• Rear panel SFP socket that can accommodate an electrical SFP with RJ45 connector (if an optical SFP

is not used).

• Front-panel monitor jack, which is a 75Ohm HD-BNC connector that allows you to monitor the input and output video signals.

Page 15

ILC410 Module Functional Description

Optical Inputs and Outputs

A single SFP socket provides the ILC410 optical Ethernet interface (if an electrical SFP is not used). The optical SFP modules use LC connectors. Optical performance is dependant on the quality of your optical ber and ber interconnects and on the selected SFP module, which must be specically qualied by Artel. Consult Artel for available SFP options.

Ethernet Interface Characteristics

The ILC410 Ethernet interface characteristics are as follows:

• Operates with 1 GbE full-duplex Ethernet only.

• Supports Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) only (IPv6 is not supported).

• Supports the following networking protocols: ARP, ICMP, IP, UDP, TCP, and RTP.

• Employs static IP addresses for the video and control IP addresses (DHCP is not supported). Transmit

channels A and B each have a dedicated, user-dened IP address or multicast group specication register. Receive channels A and B each have one user-dened receive IP address or receive multicast group register and a multicast source IP address register.

Note: Artel ships the ILC410 congured with a set of default IP addresses and port numbers.

You must congure these items with values that are specic to your IP network (see the

“Conguring the ILC410 Module” section on page 11).

Labeling the ILC410 Interfaces

Table 4. Transmitter Channel Settings

Field Description

M2TS Packing (ASI mode only) Number of MPEG-2 Transport Stream (M2TS) frames per IP

frame.

Inserting a small number of M2TS frames per IP frame minimizes the amount of lost video frames when an IP frame is dropped or corrupted; however, this packing method reduces bandwidth eciency because of the overhead associated with the additional IP frames required to transport a set amount of M2TS frames.

Inserting a large number of M2TS frames per IP frame increases the possibility of losing larger amounts of video frames for each dropped or corrupted IP frame; however, this packing method increases bandwidth eciency because it takes fewer IP frames to transport a set amount of M2TS frames.

Choose one of the following values:

• 1—Least ecient use of bandwidth but least susceptible to lost video

when IP frames are dropped or corrupted.

• 4—Moderately ecient use of bandwidth and moderately susceptible to

lost video.

• 7—Most ecient use of bandwidth but greatest susceptibility to lost

video when IP frames are dropped or corrupted.
