Introduction
NV8500 series routers offer a highly flexible switching architecture. A single router can switch
both audio and video signals. NV8500 series routers receive and send audio and video signals
on a single I/O card. The hybrid architecture of the NV8500 routers can disembed audio from its
video inputs, recombine audio from multiple inputs, and re-embed audio at its video outputs.
The NV8500 series routers can also switch MADI channels and embed the channels in video
outputs.
NV8500 series routers, as do all of Grass Valley’s NVISION series routers, employ a fully nonblocking architecture.
The NV8500 series includes these routers:
NV8144
NV8140
NV8280
NV8576
NV8576-Plus
Expanded NV8576-Plus
The matrix sizes represent the number of standard outputs the routers support.

About the NV8500 Series Routers
Each NV8500 series router, with the exception noted, can switch these signal types:
• SDI (SD, HD, and 3Gig)
The router’s 3Gig inputs can also receive HD and SD signals. Similarly, the router’s 3Gig outputs can also transmit HD and SD signals.
• MADI
The routers receive and transmit MADI signals, but extract the audio from the MADI streams
and perform the switching on the audio signals internally.
• AES async
The NV8140 does not switch AES async at this time.
1. NV8500 series routers can transport DVB-ASI and similar formats.

Introduction
About the NV8500 Series Routers
An NV8500 router can be classified as a standard router or a hybrid router. A router is considered
a hybrid router if it has a hybrid control card. A hybrid control card is required if any I/O card is a
hybrid card. A router is considered a standard router if it has a standard control card. If it has
standard control card(s), it cannot have any hybrid I/O cards.
NV8500 series routers have multiple I/O slots and accept a number of different I/O card types
that support the different signal types listed on the previous page. I/O cards can also be classified as standard or hybrid.
For standard I/O cards, the router passes embedded audio (audio embedded in video signals)
through the router, with the video, unaltered. In contrast, hybrid I/O cards allow the independent routing of audio and video. This is accomplished by (1) de-embedding audio from a video
stream, (2) re-combining or re-embedding audio in video output, (3) extracting audio from
MADI streams, and (4) re-combining audio in outgoing MADI streams.
This flexible router architecture lets you realize these savings:
• Less facility space and power is needed because one NV8500 series router can perform rout-
ing functions that previously required multiple frames.
• There is considerably less need to power and house separate video/audio de-embedders
and embedders.
• Increased flexibility give you more control over the signals routed.
• You can easily enlarge a switching matrix to meet future needs without investing in multiple
routers, subject to the maximum matrix size of the router.
I/O modules for all NV8500 series router can be “hot swapped.” Hybrid modules have green
labeling for easy differentiation from standard modules.

Standard vs. Hybrid
I/O modules are grouped into two categories: standard or hybrid.
Standard I/O can routes video signals (SDI) with or without embedded audio (up to 16 channels), or audio signals (AES pairs). For routers other than the NV8140, standard input cards have
9 inputs. For the NV8140, standard input cards have 18 inputs
Standard output cards have 18 outputs.
Note: Expanded NV8576-Plus routers are a special case. They comprise 2 router frames that
are interconnected. The bulk of the interconnection is through “expansion output cards.”
Standard expansion output cards have 9 outputs.
Hybrid I/O has video and audio signals on the same card. Disembedder (input) cards have 8
video signals with embedded audio. Embedder (output) cards have 16 video signals with
embedded audio. Embedder expansion output card have 8 video signals with embedded audio.
MADI (a.k.a 3Gig/TDM) input cards have 8 video inputs and 1 MADI input (up to 64 channels).
MADI output cards have 16 video outputs and 2 MADI outputs (56 or 64 channels each). The
video, with embedded audio, of a MADI input card is passed through the router, with its audio
unaltered. MADI expansion output card have 8 video signals and 1 MADI output (56 or 64
channels).
Standard I/O cards and hybrid I/O cards can be inter-mixed in the same router. The router is
considered a hybrid router if at least one of the cards is a hybrid card. A hybrid router requires that
all control cards, crosspoint cards and redundant crosspoint cards also be hybrid.
Hybrid crosspoint cards and hybrid control cards can be used with both hybrid I/O cards and
standard I/O cards. In contrast, standard crosspoint cards and standard control cards cannot be
used with hybrid I/O cards.

Introduction
Overview of the Routers
Overview of the Routers
NV8500 series routers share common frame features. All I/O cards, crosspoint cards, monitor
cards, and control cards are installed through the frame front. All system connections and backplane modules are located at the rear of the frame.
The following is an overview of each router. For more information about any modules
mentioned, see the related topic:
• Inputs and Outputs on page 21
• Crosspoints on page 61
• Monitoring on page 81
• Router Control on page 75
• Power on page 111
Frame Cooling
The routers have one or more fan trays providing forced air cooling through five speedcontrolled fans. The fans draw air from the center and front of the router, through its door, and
exhaust it through the rear of the frame.
Each fan features speed control which spins the fan at the optimal rate required to ensure that a
constant temperature is maintained within the router frame. Temperature sensors at the inlet of
each fan increase or decrease the speed of the fan as required. Because the fans rotate only as
needed, fan noise is significantly reduced in partially loaded frames or in environments with
lower ambient temperatures. Maintaining a constant temperature ensures the proper operation
of router circuitry.
In the NV8144, NV8140, and the NV8280 frames, a single fan tray is located at the top of the
chassis. For the NV8576 (and NV8576-Plus) frames, there are two fan trays: one located at the top
and one located at the bottom of the frame. Each fan features two LEDs that indicate whether
the fan is receiving power and whether there is a failure. For more information, see Indicator
LEDs on page 165.
There is a removable air filter located on the inside of the door assembly. It is recommended that
filter maintenance be performed on a regular basis. For more information, see Air Flow
page 169.

Introduction
Preparing for Installation
Expanded NV8576-Plus
The expanded NV8576-Plus router comprises two 32RU frames that have the same structure as
the NV8576 frames. Please refer to figures 1-10 and 1-11, preceding, to see NV8576-Plus frame
structure.
Note that the expanded NV8576-Plus, consisting of 2 frames, will require 4 NV8300 power
supply frames, two for each frame.
The NV8576-Plus, of course, will be populated with expansion output cards and backplanes
instead of regular output cards and backplanes. Expansion output cards in one frame connect
to matching expansion output cards in the other frame. An expansion output card in the first
frame must match the expansion output card to which it is connected in the second frame in
type and position. See Expansion I/O Cards
NV8576-Plus (Stand-Alone)
A stand-alone NV8576-Plus is a single 32RU frame that have the same structure as the NV8576
frame. Please refer to figures 1-10 and 1-11, preceding to see the stand-alone NV8576-Plus
frame structure.
The stand-alone NV8576-Plus requires 2 NV8300 power supply frames.
The stand-alone NV8576-Plus, of course, will be populated with expansion output cards.
Because there is only one frame, expansion cables are not used.
on page 94 for details about matching card types.
Preparing for Installation
Before you set up the router, be sure to review the information in this section.
When your products arrive, immediately inspect the shipping container. If the container is
damaged, unpack and inspect the contents. If the contents are damaged, notify the carrier
immediately.
When unpacking the shipping container, look for the packing slip and compare it against the
contents to verify that everything ordered was received. If anything is missing (or if equipment is
damaged unrelated to shipping), please contact Miranda.
Your shipment does not contain mounting racks, network cables, video cables, mounting
screws, or grounding wire. If you have ordered an NV8280, NV8576, or NV8576-Plus, included in
the shipment will be one or more NV8300 external power supply frames.
Shipments of the NV8576 and NV8576-Plus also include a rack-mounting kit, including a jack,
lifting handles, and instructions.
You will need the following items for installation:
A computer running Windows
required for installing the Miranda Router Configurator and other configuration software.
Computer hardware requirements:
