Introduction
The AVP is a flexible platform consisting of a base unit or chassis into which various
option cards can be plugged. The base unit provides an Ethernet control interface,
Ethernet data interfaces, and basic transport stream processing functionality. Other
functionalities such as video encoding, audio encoding, and additional input or
output interfaces are provided by the addition of option cards.
The AVP is designed for flexibility, modularity, multi-codec capabilities, and multiple
independent outputs. Please ensure that you are familiar with the operation of the
unit by reading this guide carefully.
This Reference Guide should be kept in a safe place for reference for the life of the
equipment. It is not intended that this Reference Guide will be amended by the issue
of individual pages. Any revision will be by a complete reissue. Further copies of this
Reference Guide can be ordered from the address listed in Customer Services. If
passing the equipment to a third party, also pass the relevant documentation.
The information in this Reference Guide also applies to the Contribution Encoder
and Voyager II products. Any differences are described in Annex D.

ASI
Option Card required
TS pas s-thru Yes Yes Yes
Service remux Yes Yes Yes
•AVP 2000 Contribution Encoder
The AVP 2000 Contribution Encoder supports a comprehensive range of video
processing and input/output modules, offering flexibility and allowing encoder
functionality to be upgraded incrementally and on-site.
•AVP 3000 Voyager
The AVP 3000 Voyager provides the same encoding flexibility and performance
as the AVP 2000 with the addition of a Satellite Modulator output as standard.
In addition, the general contents apply to the Ericsson Contribution Encoder and
Voyager II products. Any exceptions are described in Annex D.
1.1.4.1 Base Chassis Options
The AVP chassis consists of a base chassis, single or dual AC mains input and up

Additionally, the AVP 3000 includes a Satellite Modulator option card as standard.
Option cards are responsible for video, audio and data processing, and for
producing output through various interfaces. The option cards are ‘Hot Swappable’,
that is, they can be inserted or removed while the chassis is powered on, within the
limitations described in Chapter 7, Options, Licenses and Upgrades.
The base chassis options available are described in the following table.

1.2 Advanced Video Processor (AVP) Overview
The AVP is a flexible platform consisting of a base unit or chassis in to which
various option cards can be plugged. The base unit provides an Ethernet control
interface for configuration, an Ethernet data interfaces for data routing between the
host and the option cards, and basic transport stream processing functionality. Other
functionalities such as video encoding, audio encoding, or other input or output
interfaces are provided by option cards through various interfaces.
The following is a summary of the features of the base chassis:

EN/LZT 790 0023/1 R16A
Introduction
The confidence monitor is a 1.8 inch TFT LCD. The On key on the confidence
monitor turns the monitor on or off. By pressing and holding the On key, operation
related data is shown. The first line displays the total number of hours the monitor
has been operating; the second line displays the software version. The source of the
video to be displayed, the sleep timeout time and the monitor brightness can be set
up through the front panel or the web user interface. For details on how to configure
the settings for the confidence monitor see Chapter 3, Getting Started.
Note: The AVP 1000 (1RU) does not have a VCM fitted so although fitted, the
Confidence Monitor is not relevant for this model unless subsequently
upgraded to AVP 2000 functionality.
1.3.3 Light Bar
The light bar is green when there are no active alarms or warnings and red if there is
a critical alarm. The light bar is yellow if there is an active warning, minor or major
alarm.
1.3.4 USB Connector
The USB connector provides an interface for saving or exporting configurations to,
and loading or importing configuration from an USB stick. Moreover, by applying an
USB-Ethernet adaptor, the Ethernet port of a control computer can be connected to
the USB connector on the Front Panel of the unit.
1.3.5 Rotary Knob
The rotary knob is used for scrolling through and selecting the menu items.
1.3.6 Main Display
Control and status information is displayed on a graphic VFD display.
1.3.7 Keypad
Select and Cancel keys, as well as a numeric keypad is provided for interaction.

1.5 License Keys
Licenses control the availability of some of the features accessible from the unit.
A License Key consists of a feature, and the number of instances of this feature that
are allowed within the chassis or option card.

Introduction
License Keys are allocated on a ‘first configured first served’ basis. If an attempt is
made to enable a feature, but the required license key is not available then the
feature is not enabled, and a log message is generated.

2.1 Read This First!
Please refer to the Installation, Safety and Compliance Information for Ericsson Compression ProductsReference Guide supplied with your product for full details of
installation requirements. This guide only contains additional product specific
information where required.
2.2 Mounting and Ventilation
2.2.1 Fixing and Rack Mounting
The equipment is designed for fixed use only and has been shipped with fixing
brackets suitable for a standard 19-inch rack. When installed in a rack, it should be
secured using the fixing brackets. In addition, support shelves must be used to
reduce the weight on the brackets. Ensure it is firmly and safely located and it has
an adequate free-flow of air.
Installing the Equipment
Slide the unit onto the chassis supports and affix to the rack by means of an
M6 x 18 mm panhead screw in each corner.
A freestanding unit should be installed on a secure horizontal surface where it is
unlikely to be knocked or its connectors and leads disturbed.
2.2.2 Ventilation
Side openings in the unit, as well as side-mo unted cooli ng fans , are prov ided fo r
ventilation. They ensure reliable ope ration of the product and protec t it from
overheating. The openings of the fans m us t no t be blocked or cover ed.

2.3 Signal Connections
2.3.1 Rear Panel Signal Connectors
It is strongly recommended that the terminal marked at the rear panel of the
equipment is connected to a site Technical Earth before any external connections
are made and the equipment is powered. This limits the migration of stray charges.
Signal connections are made via the rear panel. The rear panels, which are
available are shown below. Full technical specifications for the connections are
given in Annex B.
Only the Data and Control Ethernet connectors and the PSU connectors are
mounted on the chassis. All other connections at the rear panel are provided with
the option modules that may be fitted. Examples are shown below.
Caution!

2.3.2 Data Ethernet Connector
The unit has four Ethernet ports - two for data input, and
two for data output and will respond to ARPs, pings and
other low-level Ethernet traffic. The ports are accessible
via RJ-45 connectors on the rear panel of the chassis.
These are labeled Ge 1, Ge 2, Ge 3 and Ge 4. Ge 1 and
Ge 2 are used for data input, while Ge 3 and Ge 4 are
data output.

2.3.3 Control Ethernet Connector
The Ethernet control ports are used to connect the
equipment to a PC for access with a web browser. Both
connectors share the same IP address, CTL 1 is the
Primary control port, and is by default the active control
port. Control Port CTL 2 should be considered as the
secondary control network as it will not respond to the
Control Port IP Address unless control has been passed
to it either as a result of a redundancy switch, or via a
user command. The active control port switches when
CTL 1 has no link (e.g. carrier), and CTL 2 has the link.
