Introduction

In a fast changing, highly competitive market, media organizations need encoding
solutions that deliver high quality, high reliability and operational flexibility. The
number of channels continues to increase. HD is growing fast, offering a better
quality viewing experience. Consumers are buying larger and larger TV sets and
now plans are being laid for Ultra High Definition TV. All that means media
organizations need to make the most efficient use of bandwidth and ensure
consumers get a quality viewing experience.

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.

1.2 AVP 4000 Overview

The AVP 4000 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:

• 19” 1 ‘RU’ rack mount chassis.

• Front panel main display and keypad for control and status reporting.

• Power switch.

• Tri-color light bar to indicate chassis health.

• Dual redundant Ethernet control ports.

• Dual redundant Ethernet ports for data input and output.

• Option card slots (the number of option cards that may be fitted is different for

each base unit)

• Option cards are ‘hot swappable’.

• Confidence monitor for monitoring input video stream.

1.3.1 Power Switch

The mains switch is recessed to prevent accidental switch-off.

1.3.2 Confidence Monitor

The confidence monitor allows the user to monitor the selected input video signal.

Figure 1.2 Confidence Monitor

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
setup 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.

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. It is yellow if there is an active warning, minor or major alarm.

1.4 Base Chassis Options

The AVP 4000 consists of a base chassis, AC or DC power supply inputs and up to
six option cards. The base chassis is a 1RU 19” rack mount chassis that contains
control interfaces and two pairs of dual redundant Ethernet ports for data output.

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.

There are four base chassis options available:

1.4.1 AVP4000/BAS/1AC 1RU and AVP4000/BAS/1AC/ED Base Chassis

These chassis options provide a single AC mains input and slots for up to six option
cards.

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.

License Keys are allocated on a ‘first configured first served’ basis within the
chassis. 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.

When a function that has a license associated with it is disabled, the license key is
released within 1 second, and thereafter available to be re-allocated.

2.1 Read This First!

Please refer to the Installation, Safety and Compliance Information for Ericsson
Compression Products Reference 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.

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-mounted cooling fans, are provided for
ventilation. They ensure reliable operation of the product and protect it from
overheating. The openings of the fans must not be blocked or covered.

2.3 Signal Connections

2.3.1 Rear Panel Signal Connectors

Caution!

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.

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.
