Introduction
General
Section 1
The Trinix family of routing switchers represents a revolutionary new
approach to digital
Venus—the best selling routing switcher ever. Trinix is a high-quality
and fully featured digital video routing switcher offering a large
number of crosspoints in one of the smallest physical frames available.
Four fixed frame sizes are available: a 128 x 128 router in eight rack
units, a 128 x 256 router in 12 RUs, a 256 x 256 router in 15 RUs, and a
512 x 512 router in 32 RUs. Fixed frame designs offer optimal solutions
for customers who have minimum space requirements yet still need a
large number of crosspoints. Features of the Trinix routing switcher
architecture include:
•Fourth generation based on Venus
•Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) in the same
frame
•Easy to upgrade
•High density in minimal space
•Each I/O card supports 32 signals
•Same “crosspoint bus” control as Venus, providing easy integration
with Jupiter Facility Control Systems.

Planning and Installation Manual19
Introduction
SD and HD in the Same Frame
Easy to Create Very Large Routers
Trinix supports both SD and HD video in all configurations. The matrix
cards and high-speed backplane are designed for both SD and HD signals. The only difference between SD and HD implementations is the I/
O cards. This makes upgrading easy on both budgets and implementation, thus solving the problem of deciding when to prepare for HD in a
facility.
Creating very large routers in the Trinix design is accomplished by
using special circuitry for simple and cost effective expansion. Using
passive port expansion modules, a 1024 x 1024 router can be built in
four equipment racks using four 512 x 512 frames coupled together
with expanders. These expanders can also be used to provide dual or
quad non-inverting outputs.
Control Systems
The Jupiter Facility Control System can be used to control the Trinix
router using a crosspoint bus connection (see Glossary) to a VM-3000
System Controller or CM-4000 System Controller. The VM/CM can
receive switching commands from a variety of serial sources, including
Jupiter control panels or an automation computer.
The Trinix can also be controlled using direct Ethernet (“CPL”) integration with a Grass Valley Encore or SMS 7000 control system.
The Trinix Frame
•High-density crosspoints in compact frames
•Fixed matrix sizes can be combined to form larger routers
•Modular design allows for both HD and SD within the same frame
Trinix is optimized for crosspoint density, with reliability and serviceability in mind. Each frame has redundant power supplies, redundant
fans, and a physical topology designed to maximize cooling. Mission
critical modules are front loading and hot swappable.
All Trinix frames accommodate two load-sharing power supplies and
have two AC inputs. This allows for full redundant operations. They
are front loading and hot swappable and each power supply has its
own fan for cooling. The 128 x 128 frame runs on a 600 W power supply,
the 256 x 256 frame runs on a 1250 W power supply, and the 512 x 512
runs on two 1250 W power supplies—all with plenty of power to spare.
20Planning and Installation Manual
The 128 x 128 chassis includes two fan modules; the 256 x 256 chassis
includes three, and the 512 x 512 includes six. Both power supplies and
fan modules are front loading and hot swappable.
Trinix Architecture
The architecture of the Trinix signal flow is organized into three cards:
input card, matrix card, and output card. These are connected to a
passive backplane circuit card. Each input and output card accommodates 32 signals, which allows the routers to be built in increments of 32
as well a mixed population of SD and HD cards in increments of 32.
On switchers with HO-33110 HD and HO-33120 SD/HD output cards,
signal reclocking can be set to “Auto On/Off” or “Off” for each of the
32 outputs. In “Auto On/Off” mode, properly-formed standard data
rate signals will be reclocked but other signals will be bypassed (not
reclocked). “Standard” data rates are listed on page 79.
The new VI-33100 “universal” input board auto-senses and accepts 16
composite analog SD, digital SD, or digital HD signals in any combination and passes them in digital SD or digital HD form (as appropriate)
to the Trinix matrix board. When analog signals are received, an extensive set of gain, phase, filtering, and other adjustments are available for
each signal. For a list of these adjustments, see page 40.
The BL-33000 Broadlinx option combines network interface, sync input,
and output monitor circuitry. Each card has two sync inputs and two
monitor outputs. Two cards can be installed for a total of four ports for
each. The sync reference supports generation of Vertical Interval Switch
Timing strobe from standard NTSC or PAL Black Burst or HDTV Trilevel sync defined in the SMPTE 274M-1998 standard (see Glossary).
Sync reference granularity is 32 outputs. An internal DIP switch is used
to select one of the available references for the respective 32-output
blocks. Trinix can also operate without a sync reference.
The Trinix fixed-frame routers all come standard as pre-wired singleoutput units. The dual output option is implemented by adding physical expanders in increments of 16 up to 256. Both outputs are noninverting and fully meet DVB-ASI (see Glossary) specifications.
Serviceability and Reliability
Trinix routing switchers are engineered by the same team that developed the Venus and Venus2001 family of routing switchers and use
many of the same proven circuit designs that made the Venus line the
best selling routers in the world. In addition, Trinix employs cuttingedge technology to reduce the number of components, increase the reli-
Planning and Installation Manual21
Introduction
ability of individual parts, enhance air movement throughout the
chassis, and identify potential system problems in time to take preventive measures.
Trinix also offers Broadlinx technology, which aids serviceability by
providing status displays and monitoring functions through a network
connection.
All circuit boards contain some common circuitry for hot swapping, circuitry for DC to DC conversion, and a micro-controller as part of the
Broadlinx technology.
Hot swap circuitry is used to simplify field servicing and upgrades.
The DC to DC conversion is necessary because the chassis design distributes one voltage, 48 volts, to all cards leaving the responsibility to
each card to convert down to the needed voltage level.
Each board has a micro-controller that is part of an overall communications bus which is part of the hardware for the Broadlinx technology.
This hardware is what gathers all of the particular board information
(voltages, signal presence, reclocking settings, etc.) as well as enables
the firmware updates via network connection.
Broadlinx
For “protected path” operation, the Broadlinx software can be configured to monitor router outputs that are feeding critical downstream
equipment (such as a transmitter). If the “primary” output signal is
interrupted, the system will automatically select the “secondary”
output that is carrying the same signal and trigger a system alarm. Protected path operation is available for single-chassis (non-expanded)
systems only, with the exception of multi-chassis DV-33512 routers
with expanded inputs. Protected path operation also requires HO33120 HD/SD Output Boards in the paths to be protected. For more
information, see page 60.
The Broadlinx option, which consists of Broadlinx software running on
the NR-33000 Sync/NIC/OPM board, allows SMS 7000 or Encore
control using Grass Valley CPL (Control Point Language) through an
Ethernet connection.
Broadlinx also provides web pages for the following operations:
•Network configuration of the NR-33000 board(s)
•Downloading of software upgrades to the various boards in the
system
•System monitoring using Internet Explorer
22Planning and Installation Manual
When licensed to do so, Broadlinx will also support SNMP/NetCentral
monitoring.
The monitoring network consists of a Windows PC, network interface
connection (NIC) circuitry on the NR-33000 board, and microprocessors on each circuit board in the system. All of the processors are interconnected via a communications bus (Com Bus).
Broadlinx Web Page Monitoring
Broadlinx uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) web pages to
deliver detailed system information through the network to a PC with
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or newer (Internet Explorer 6 or newer
is recommended for best performance).
Typical aspects that can be monitored as “warnings” or alarms are all
the voltages on each circuit board, input signal presence, and output
reclocking status. Also, information on the current version of firmware
that is being used is available.
For more information, see Broadlinx / Internet Explorer Monitoring on
page 166.
SNMP/NetCentral Monitoring
When enabled, the Trinix SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Agent allows the Grass Valley NetCentral application to monitor
the following:

Planning and Installation Manual23
Introduction
The Trinix SNMP agent is supplied with Broadlinx 2.2 and later software. By default, the agent is disabled; a hardware address (MAC)
based license key must be obtained for it to become active. This license
can be purchased as part of the original system or later by contacting
Grass Valley Technical Support. The MAC address is shown in the
“SNMP” section of the “Configuration” Broadlinx web access display;
an “Enter License Key” button allows entry of the Grass Valley-supplied key. For an illustration, see page 164.
Because the license is stored in the NR-33000 board flash memory, a
new key will have to be obtained if the board is ever replaced. However,
in the case of redundant NR-33000 installations, if the secondary board
(i.e., the board not having the licensed MAC address) is replaced the
existing license will automatically be copied to the new board when
installed.
NetCentral
NetCentral is a suite of software modules residing on one or more computers. These modules work together to monitor and report the operational status of SNMP-enabled devices such as Trinix, Encore, 7500NB/
WB frames, Concerto Fast Controllers, etc.
When the Trinix SNMP Agent is activated, it automatically sends messages to the NetCentral Monitoring Station, reporting the device status.
(Up to five Monitoring Stations are supported.) Messages are given a
Status Level ranging from “Informational” to “Critical.” The NetCentral Monitoring Station can be configured to listen to and, depending on
Status Level, respond to these messages in a variety of ways, including:
•Sound computer “beep”
•Play sound file
•Send E-mail message to one or more addresses
•Send E-mail message to pager or cell phone
•Run program
•Open web browser and go to specified URL
For example, when a Critical message is received, NetCentral can be
configured to open an Internet Explorer window and go to the Home
Page for the Broadlinx web pages described under Broadlinx / Internet
Explorer Monitoring on page 166.
The Trinix SNMP Agent provides support for NetCentral, but does not
include the actual NetCentral product, which is available separately.
Once the Trinix SNMP Agent is installed and configured, it can be monitored by NetCentral, or by any other SNMP management application.
For more information, please refer to the NetCentral User Guide, part
no. 071 8338 xx.

Power Supplies
Two power supply types are used in the Trinix routing family, one type
for the 128 chassis and another for the 256 and 512 chassis. Both types,
which share the same feature set, are OEM products. The power supplies differ primarily in power delivered, size, and weight.
The 128 and 256 chassis are designed for two power supplies. The
optional (and recommended) second supply provides redundancy and
increased reliability due to “load sharing” - both supplies work less,
creating less strain and decreasing the likelihood of failure of either
unit.
In AC power applications, the 512 chassis is equipped with two power
supplies mounted in a separate chassis. For redundancy, space is provided for two additional supplies (recommended). The 512 power
supply chassis may be mounted above or below the main chassis,
depending on video cable routing requirements (or weight distribution
requirements).
All power supplies are front loading and hot swappable and each has
its own fan for cooling. Automatic line sensing technology is used to
adapt the supply to all major power standards throughout the world.
The back panel of the chassis provides a separate AC connector for each
supply and a third connection for a 48 VDC input.
Trinix Frame
The power supplies each deliver 48 volts to all components and the
individual components convert down the voltages for their particular
need.
For additional redundancy, it is possible to operate the router with a
combination of internal power supplies and a external DC power
source.

Cooling System
The Trinix uses fan modules (FM-33000) for cooling the main chamber of
the chassis. A fan module consists of two blower-type fans that are
housed in a mechanical assembly. The 128 x 128 chassis uses two modules, the 256 x 256 chassis uses three, and the 512 uses six. The fan
modules are front-loading and hot-swappable.
Airflow openings for the 128 chassis are shown in Figure 8. Air is taken
in from the sides of the chassis (primarily the left side), where the air is
drawn across the I/O cards, past the matrix card, and up to the top rear
of the chassis where it is expelled. A small amount of air is drawn from
the right side of the chassis as well to help cool the matrix board.

Airflow openings for the 256 and 512 chassis are shown in Figure 9 and
Figure 10. Air is taken in from the bottom of the chassis (cut-outs are
located on the very bottom of the sides), and from the central area of the
left and right sides. This air is then drawn up through all of the I/O
cards as well as the matrix boards to the top rear of the chassis and
expelled out the back.

Planning and Installation Manual37
Planning Guide
Using a central set of fan modules to cool the main chamber eliminates
the possibility of cooling loss in one area due to failure of a single fan.
If a fan does fail, the system will continue to operate, providing a safe
interval during which the failed fan can be replaced and the system
returned to normal redundant operation.
Sync Reference Options
For synchronous vertical interval switching the same sync reference
signal must be sent to the control system (e.g., Jupiter CM-4000) and to
the Trinix. (The Trinix will operate without a sync connection but
switching will be non-synchronous.) Each sync input uses looping 75
ohm BNC connectors.
The sync signal can be NTSC or PAL black burst, or tri-level (HD) sync,
and up to four sync signals can be mixed within the same chassis on an
output-board basis. For example, NTSC sync could be used for one set
of 32 outputs and HD sync for another set of 32 outputs.
In DV-33128 and DV-33256 units, one or two independent sync signals
can be connected to a NR-33000 Broadlinx board and either of these can
then be selected for use on each output board. Adding a second Broadlinx board provides a total of four independent sync sources.
In DV-33512 units, which are normally supplied with an SR-33500
Sync/OPM board, up to four independent sync sources can be connected and any of the four can be selected for each output board. If
desired, an NR-33000 board can be installed in the associated power
supply chassis to provide Broadlinx capability. It is also possible to
divide the sync sources between the SR-33500 and the Broadlinx board
but the maximum number of sync sources is always four.
Sync Redundant mode
For all systems, two Broadlinx boards can be operated in Sync Redundant mode where the sync signal(s) are looped through each board; if
the primary Broadlinx board fails the system will switch automatically
to the secondary board. However, for redundant operation the number
of sync signals is limited to two.
For sync reference details, see page 107.
Output Monitoring
With the DV-33128 and DV-33256 chassis, two pairs of output monitor
ports are provided by the NR-33000 board (one side of each pair is
inverted). Two additional dual ports are optionally available when a
second NR-33000 is added; this would provide a total of four monitor
ports.

For configurations that require multiple chassis, the monitor signals are
brought through a PE-33016 Port Expander used as a combiner (see
page 59).
Signal Flow
Trinix is a “three-board” routing system, where the input board, output
board, and matrix board are the basic modules.
Shown below is the signal flow through a 128 x 128 routing system.
Inputs are received and outputs are delivered to the rear of the chassis
directly with a connection to the rear panels (no cabling).

Analog Processing Control
The VI-33100 “universal” input module accepts analog as well as
digital signals. Adjustments for analog signals include the following:.
For more information about the VI-33100 module, please refer to
Section 6-Analog Input Processing.
Pre-wiring
All Trinix switchers are pre-wired to the size of the chassis. That is, a
128-chassis is essentially pre-wired to 128 x 128 with all rear panels and
BNCs in place. The 256-chassis is pre-wired to 256 x 256. By convention,
switcher sizes are shown as:
M x N (P x Q)
This indicates that the functional router size is M x N and is pre-wired
to (P x Q). For Trinix pre-wiring is only possible in multiples of 128 x
128, as that is the smallest chassis size increment.
Connector Numbering
Late-model Trinix routers have video input/output connectors that
begin with “1” instead of “0.” An adhesive overlay set, which indicates
connector groups using a 0-based numbering scheme (e.g., “Inputs 031,” “Inputs 32-63,” etc.) is provided for customers who are using a 0based control system such as Jupiter.
40Planning and Installation Manual
Alarm System
There are two Trinix alarm classes: primary and secondary. A secondary alarm is asserted when a single fan has failed or when the secondary NR/SR Broadlinx board has taken control of the system. All
other alarms (multiple fan failure, power supply failure, etc.) are considered primary alarms.
All major components include a local alarm LED. NR/SR-33000 boards
have separate LEDs for primary and secondary alarms.
The master alarm indicator is a tri-color LED on the front panel
(“Power/Alarm”) where green indicates normal operation, red indicates a primary alarm, and amber indicates a secondary alarm.
The rear panel “Alarm” BNC can be configured to report primary
alarms only or both primary and secondary alarms. The factory default
configuration is to report both. (DV-33128 and DV-33256 configuration
is via a jumper on the NR/SR-33000 board, as shown on page 119 and
page 120. DV-33512 configuration is via a jumper on the RP-33500 512
x 512 Rear Panel board as shown on page 122.)
Trinix Frame
Electrically, the Alarm BNC operates according to SMPTE standard
269M-1999. When an alarm is asserted, the circuit associated with the
Alarm connector will present a low impedance to an external current
source circuit provided by the customer. See Figure 12.

Output Duplication - Dual
The PE-33016 Port Expander is a passive, transformer-based module
that can be used to provide two copies of the same signal. Functionality
is bi-directional and depends on connections only; no configuration is
needed. Figure 13 and Figure 14 show a splitting application. Note that
the unused connectors should be terminated for optimum performance.

In the splitting application, the PE-33016 Port Expander can be used to
provide dual outputs in groups of 16 outputs. All outputs are noninverting. For example, a 256 x 256 router could be arranged as follows:
256 inputs x 240 single outputs and 16 dual outputs - uses 1 PE-33016
or
256 inputs x 224 single outputs and 32 dual outputs - uses 2 PE-33016s
or
256 inputs x 208 single outputs and 48 dual outputs - uses 3 PE-33016s...
etc.

Expanded Systems
The PE-33016 and PE-33008 Port Expanders can be used to “combine”
outputs for an input expansion application. In Figure 19 and Figure 20,
a PE-33016 is downstream of the router. The router will present only
one of the two possible signals to each combiner, which will produce
two copies of that signal. Note that any unused connectors should be
terminated for optimum performance. The port expanders are
mounted in an MK-33000 Mounting Kit as described previously
(page 46).
Figure 19. PE-33016 used as a combiner. Only one of the input signals will be present at a time,
and this signal is duplicated.
Expanded configurations include:

Some of these configurations are shown on the following pages. Notice
that the same port expander type is used for both downstream combining (for input expansion) and upstream splitting (for output expansion). All outputs are non-inverting.

Termination for Pre-wired Expansion Frames
Figure 25. LD-33100 Loader board
As described above, unused BNC connectors on port expanders should
be terminated for best performance. However, it may be desirable to
install an empty or partially stuffed frame and associated cabling to
simplify future expansion, and when such cabling connects to a port
expander that is carrying active signals, special termination hardware
is required. Since the presence of pre-wired cabling will not permit
standard BNC terminators to be installed on the expander, an LD-33100 Loader board is installed in the associated frame in place of an input or
output board to provide correct termination.

Now consider Output 1 of Frame 0. This sign al is conn ected to Input 1A
of the first PE-33016 Port Expander. See Figure 27.
Figure 27. Detail of one PE-33016 shown in Figure 26.
In this example:
•Only Input 1A and Output 1A are presently functional.
•Following the rule that unused connectors should be terminated,
Output 1B is fitted with a 75 ohm BNC terminator.
•Input 1B is pre-wired to Frame 1, so there is no place for a terminator. In this case, termination will be provided by an LD-33100
Loader board installed in output board slot “1-32” of Frame 0. Furthermore, in this example all 16 output slots of Frame 0 should have
an LD-33000 installed.
•When the system is upgraded to 1024 x 512, the LD-33000 boards
will be removed and replaced by output boards. Cabling to the port
expanders is already in place.
The concepts in this example apply equally to systems with PE-33008
Port Expanders. For example, they would apply to a 1024 x 1024 system
that is pre-wired for expansion to 2048 x 1024 (similar to the system
shown on page 54, where LD-33100 Loader boards would be installed
in place of output boards in Frames 4 through 7).

Again, considering one signal path (Figure 29), pre-wired cable connections do not allow for installation of individual terminators. Instead,
LD-33100 Loader boards are installed in the unused frame, but in this
case they are installed in the input slots.
Figure 29. Detail of one PE-33016 shown in Figure 28.
Input and Output Expansion
The rules just described for use of LD-33100 Loader boards will also
apply to systems designed for expansion of both inputs and outputs.
An example would be a 512 x 512 pre-wired for expansion to 1024 x
1024 (similar to the system shown on page 52). Only chassis 0 would be
active in the 512 x 512 router, so only the port expanders connected to
Frame 0 would be in use. Frame 1’s inputs are connected to the top left
PE; while Frame 2’s outputs are connected to the top right PE. Therefore
Frame 1’s input slots would require LD-33100s and Frame 2’s output
slots would require LD-33100s. No LDs would be needed for Frame 3.

Protected Paths
Overview
The protected path function is designed to monitor router outputs that
are feeding critical downstream equipment and, in the event of signal
loss, automatically select the output that i s carrying the same signal and
trigger the system alarm.
This function assumes the following:
•HO-33120 HD/SD Output Board(s) are providing the output
signal(s) to be monitored. These boards allow individual outputs to
be enabled or disabled using software controls.
•Protection is provided for paths, i.e., input/output pairs. The
installer must identify critical outputs and an associated critical
input for each. For redundancy, two paths must be defined: a “primary” path and a failover “secondary” path.
•Protected pairs should be hard wired to back-panel connectors that
will provide the most independent possible paths through the
router. For example, the two paths should use different input
boards and different output boards. Depending on router size, the
two paths may also be able to use different matrix boards and different power sources.
•For full redundancy, two copies of each protected input must be
wired to the router. For example, the master control switcher output
could be sent through a passive splitter upstream of the router. One
copy is used for the primary path, and the other for the secondary
path. If an upstream splitter is used, steps must be taken to boost the
gain for the appropriate block of inputs (as described in the Trinix
manual).
•The primary output and the secondary output must be wired to a
passive combiner, the output of which is connected to the downstream equipment. The protected path software will automatically
boost individual outputs as needed for proper gain level through
the splitter. Outputs not configured for protected path operation
should be set for gain levels as described in the manual. (The protected path software will override the manual settings as needed.)
•The control system (e.g. Encore or Jupiter) must be operated so that
the secondary path is always ready to provide a copy of the protected signal. For example, the operator would switch the Master
Control output to the transmitter on the primary path; the control
system would then switch the secondary path automatically. For
more information, see Encore Configuration on page 184 or Jupiter
Configuration on page 189.

enable the secondary path output driver. Notice that the two paths use
independent sets of hardware.

NoteThe following discussion is based on a “1-based” numbering scheme. If
you are using a “zero-based” numbering system, subtract “1” from all
instances of input/output numbers.

The recommended protected path ranges for DV-33512 routers are as
follows:

Primary pathSecondary path
OutputInputOutputInput
1-1281-128257-384257-384
For example, to protect an output in the range 1-128, choose a corresponding input in the range 1-128; this will be the primary path. For the
secondary (failover) path, choose an output in the range 257-384 and a
corresponding input in the range 257-384.
Alternatively, the high-range of connectors can be used for the primary
path and the low range for the secondary path, as shown in Tab le 3 :
Ta b l e 3.
Primary pathSecondary path
OutputInputOutputInput
257-384257-3841-1281-128
Using either of these schemes will provide the most independent possible paths through a DV-33512, i.e., the primary path will use one set
of input, matrix, and output boards connected to one power source
while the secondary path will use a different set of boards connected to
a different power source.
Note that for a DV-33512 router the maximum number of protected
paths is 256.

CC-2010 Matrix (Crosspoint Bus) Cable
Connection from a Jupiter VM-3000 or CM-4000 System Controller is
via a crosspoint bus cable, which can be supplied in 3, 10, 25, or 50 foot
lengths. The crosspoint bus connector is looped out in order to connect
the bus to the next item under crosspoint control.
Depending on the size of the switcher this bus may require intermediate buffering through a CB-3000 Control Buffer. A CB 3000 is required
in the following cases:
DV-33128 - eight or more chassis
DV-33256 - four or more chassis
DV-33512 - two or more chassis
The CB-3000 is described in detail in the Jupiter Installation and Operating manual.
In Trinix applications, the crosspoint bus must be terminated at the
point farthest from the control processor using a Crosspoint Bus Terminator, part number 01-053050-001.
The CC-2010 is a 10-conductor (plus ground) cable. Ready-made cables,
with installed 15-pin D male connectors, are available from Grass
Valley; see page 88.
All rear-panel crosspoint bus connectors are 15-pin D, female.
For those who wish to prepare their own cables, pin-outs are shown on
page 150. The cable itself should be Belden 9505 or equivalent. User-
supplied matrix cables for VDE installations require a ferrite core over
each end of the cable, adjacent to the connector. Details concerning
ferrite cores are given on page 150.

Input, Output, and Matrix Boards
Input and output boards each have 32 inputs or outputs and can be
grouped into SD and HD blocks within a frame. The matrix board is
available in two sizes.
TRX-SI-33110
SD Input Module - consists of a 16-input base board (SI-33110) and a 16input mezzanine board (SI-33011), providing 32 inputs. Supports data
rates of 3 to 540 Mbps. A “gain cell” is included on this board to be used
in conjunction with the port expanders in order to create multi-chassis
routers.
TRX-HI-33200
SD/HD Input Module - consists of a 16-input base board (HI-33200)
and a 16-input mezzanine board (HI-33201), providing 32 inputs. The
module supports data rates of 3 Mbps to 1.485 Gbps. A “gain cell” is
included on this board to be used in conjunction with the port
expanders in order to create multi-chassis routers.
TRX-VI-33100
Video Input Module - consists of a 16-input “universal” base board (VI-
33100) and a 16-input digital-only mezzanine board (HI-33201), pro-
viding 32 inputs.
•The VI-33100 Universal base board auto-senses and accepts 16 composite analog SD, digital SD, or digital HD signals in any combination and passes them in digital SD or digital HD form (as
appropriate) to the Trinix matrix board. When analog signals are

received, an extensive set of gain, phase, filtering, and other adjustments are available for each signal. For a list of these adjustments,
see page 40.
•The HI-33201 SD/HD Digital Input mezzanine board auto-senses
and accepts a second set of 16 digital SD or digital HD signals in any
combination and passes them in digital SD or digital HD form (as
appropriate) to the Trinix matrix board.
TRX-HI-33200
SD/HD Digital Input Module - consists of a 16 input base board (HI-
33200) and a 16 input mezzanine board (HI-33201), providing a total of
32 inputs. Each board auto-senses and accepts 16 digital SD or digital
HD signals in any combination and passes them in digital SD or digital
HD form (as appropriate) to the Trinix matrix board. The TRX-HI-33200
is similar to the TRX-VI-33100 but is not fully stuffed.
TRX-SO-33110
SD Output Module, non-reclocked - consists of a 16 output base board
(SO-33110) and a 16 output mezzanine board (SO-33011), providing a
total of 32 outputs.
A “gain cell” is included on this board to be used in conjunction with
the port expanders in order to create multi-chassis routers as well as

included to select one of four synchronizing inputs. A list of data rates
supported by the HO-33120 Output Board is shown on page 79.
Protected path operation requires HO-33120 Output Modules in the
paths to be protected.
TRX-DM-33100
Digital Matrix Board - 128 x 128 for use with 128 and 256 frame
Contains 32 instantiations of a 32 x 16 crosspoint IC. It handles both SD
and HD data rates and is used in both the 128 and 256 chassis. It has a
memory refresh circuit which is used to keep the configuration of the
crosspoints in the event of some power interruption to the controlling
element. One card is needed for all configurations in the 128 chassis and
1, 2, or 4 are needed for the 256 chassis depending on the needed matrix
size.
TRX-DM-33512
Digital Matrix Board - 256 x 256 for use with 512 frame
This module consists of two circuit boards interconnected, each with a
256 x 128 matrix function. The matrix board uses redundant power-conditioning circuitry and 144 x 144 crosspoint ICs (used as 128 x 128) each
with its own control circuit. A 512-chassis, fully stuffed to 512 x 512
inputs and outputs, requires four of these modules.

NIC/Sync/OPM Boards
TRX-BL-33000
Broadlinx board- consists of one NR-33000 NIC/Sync/OPM board and
associated software; combines synchronization, network interface, and
output monitoring functions.
Requires TRX-CTRL-CPL for SMS 7000 / Encore control or TRX-CTRLXPT for Jupiter control.
Sync Functions: The BL-33000 includes two sync-reference inputs,
which can be NTSC, PAL or Tri-level inputs.
NIC Functions: The NIC (Network Interface Controller) functions
include the network connection as well as a computing element that is
the heart of the Broadlinx hardware. This controller communicates with
the internal micro-controllers within the Trinix chassis as well as with
the outside world via the network connection. The NIC is a 10/100
connection that will communicate via HTTP and (optionally) SNMP
protocols.
Output Monitor: The BL-33000 provides output monitoring for DV33128 and DV-33256 systems. Two output monitor ports are included,
each with an inverted and non-inverted output. (These output monitor
ports are not available when the NR-33000 is installed in a DV-33512
chassis. DV-33512 monitoring is provided by the SR-33500 board,
described below.)

Output monitor: Four output monitor ports are included, each with an
inverted and non-inverted output.
Broadlinx capability can be added by installing an BL-33000 Broadlinx
option in the associated power supply chassis.
Port Expanders
As described above (page 43), these passive, bi-directional modules
provide dual and quad outputs as needed for signal duplication and
system expansion.
TRX-PE- 33016
The PE-33016 Port Expander has 32 connectors on one side and 32 on
the other. Sometimes referred to a “2 x 2 module,” the PE-33016 can be
used as a 2 to 1 combiner (with dual outputs) or a 1 to 2 splitter. One or
many of these can be installed as the need requires. Using this as a
splitter provides dual outputs (non-inverting) for 16 outputs at a time.
Installs in MK-33000 Mounting Kit. Since no application uses more than
48 connectors, each PE-33016 is supplied with 16 BNC 75 ohm terminators. Additional connectors, if needed, must be provided by the enduser.
TRX-PE-33008
The PE-33008 is a 4 x 1 expander module that has eight BNC connectors
on one side and 32 on the other. This unit can be used as a 4 to 1 combiner or a 1 to 4 splitter. One or many of these can be installed as the
need requires. Using this as an output splitter makes quad outputs for
eight outputs at a time. Installs in MK-3000 Mounting Kit. All unused
connectors must be terminated with 75 ohm BNC terminators (not supplied by Grass Valley).

Installation
Summary of Installation Procedure
The following is a summary of the steps needed for installation of the
Trinix Routing Switcher System. Additional details may be found elsewhere in this manual as indicated.
1. Before unpacking the equipment, inspect the shipping carton for
evidence of freight damage. After unpacking carefully inspect all
equipment for freight damage.
If the contents have been damaged, notify the carrier and Grass
Valley (see page 4 for contact information). Retain all shipping
cartons and padding material for inspection by the carrier.
Section 3
Do not return damaged merchandise to Grass Valley until an appropriate claim has been filed with the carrier and a material return
authorization number has been received from Grass Valley.
2. If the switcher is received without a rack, it should be mounted in a
19-inch wide frame or other suitable enclosure that provides power
and cooling facilities for the equipment.
a. It may be necessary to install special rack spacers so that the
router's access door can be opened far enough to permit
removal of components on the right side of the chassis (such as
power supply modules). The spacers, which are available on
request, should only be installed when the rack's mounting
holes are recessed more than 0.6 inch (15.2 mm) from the front
surface of the rack. For more information, see page 96.
b. Some switchers are supplied with PE-33016 Port Expanders,
which depending on the configuration can be used to provide
dual outputs, quad outputs, input expansion, output
expansion, and multi-chassis output monitoring. For
illustrations of port expander applications, see page 43.
c. Power requirements are shown on page 79.
d. Environmental limits are shown on page 80.
Planning and Installation Manual91
Installation
3. Power supplies are factory-installed and auto-sensing. No field
adjustment should be necessary.
Power supplies for 512 x 512 (DV-33512) switchers are mounted in
a separate chassis and require cabling (supplied) from the “DC
Output” connector of the power supply chassis to the “DC Input”
connector of the switcher chassis. The 512 power supply chassis
may be mounted above or below the main chassis, depending on
video cable routing requirements (or weight distribution requirements).
For additional power supply information, see page 104.
4. For 512 x 512 (DV-33512) switchers:
CAUTION In order to avoid damaging the switcher, power must be Off before
installing the “IFC” cables as described in the following step.
a. Install the “IFC” cables (supplied) between (1) the power
supply chassis and main chassis, and (2) between the main
chassis center section and the fan module section.
For an illustration, see page 102.
5. If the system is supplied with PE-33016 Port Expanders, check the
input/output expansion DIP switches and jumpers for correct
position.
These switches and jumpers are normally set at the factory based on
the configuration shown in the sales order. For more information,
see page 124.
6. On High Definition switchers:
a. Signal reclocking mode can be set for each output on an output
board. The factory default setting is “Auto,” meaning that
properly-formed, standard data rate signals will be reclocked
but other signals will be bypassed (not reclocked). See page 134
for details.
SD switchers do not include reclocking.
7. Make sure all cards are all seated in their backplane sockets.
This should not normally be an issue since the boards are held in
place with locking extractors.
92Planning and Installation Manual
8. Connect the desired input and output video cables.
To permit proper vertical interval switching, the inputs must be
aligned within plus/minus 1/4 line with respect to the reference
signal.
The use of 75 ohm BNC connectors (rather than 50 ohm) is recommended for HDTV applications.
If the system includes port expanders, all unused BNC connectors
must be terminated with 75 ohm terminators.
On DV-33512 units, the output connectors are not arranged in a leftto-right sequence. The rear-panel labels are correct.
NoteLabels for “0-based” numbering schemes are available. See page 40.
9. For “protected path” operation, the Broadlinx software can be
configured to monitor router outputs that are feeding critical
downstream equipment (such as a transmitter). If the “primary”
output signal is interrupted, the system will automatically select the
“secondary” output that is carrying the same signal and trigger a
system alarm. For wiring information, see page 60. For
configuration instructions, see Section 5-Protected Path Configuration.
10. If the router is equipped with VI-33100 “universal” input boards,
and analog signals are received, an extensive set of gain, phase,
filtering, and other adjustments are available for each signal. For
more information about the VI-33100 module, please refer to
Section 6-Analog Input Processing.
11.Connect the appropriate house reference signal(s).
Depending on the system, up to four independent sync references
can be used. For system diagrams, see page 107.
12. Re-configure the switch point if desired.
The switch point is factory-set to the recommended video line for
the standard that is detected. A V-phasing feature, available with
the NR-33000, SR-33000 with Rev B FPGA Software Update, and
SR-33500 allows the user to adjust the switch point from -1 line to
+2.5 lines if necessary. For more information, see page 117.
NoteIf you make adjustments on the SR-33500 as part of this step, you may
want to wait until all remaining steps in this list have been followed and
any additional adjustments made before reinstalling the board.
13. Select the desired sync line on each Output board.
This applies to systems with more that one sync reference. Each
output board provides a block of 32 outputs and by factory default
each block is assigned to sync line 1, which corresponds to the “Pri-
Planning and Installation Manual93
Installation
mary Ref IN 1” connector on the rear panel. If additional references
are used, DIP switches are set to assign each board to one of four
possible sync lines. See page 123.
14. If output monitoring is required, refer to the installation
instructions starting on page 137.
15. On multi-chassis systems, the Frame number switches should be
checked. See page 146.
16. Connect the switcher to the control system:
— For Jupiter control system connections and settings, see
page 148.
— For SMS 7000 or Encore control system connections and
settings, see page 153.
17. LAN and Com Bus connections and configuration of the Broadlinx
board (NR-33000 NIC/Sync/OPM board) are covered in the above
discussions about control systems.
The Broadlinx board is equipped with a plug-in, rechargeable
lithium-ion battery used to back up switcher status for Encore-controlled systems. The battery is rated for approximately 500 power
cycles. If there is a power failure, and the battery fails to provide
power, the Broadlinx board will need to obtain router status from
the Encore System Control Module (data will be sent automatically). For the location of this battery, see page 119.
18. (Optional) Connect the rear panel ALARM BNC to the facility
alarm system. The alarm port operates according to SMPTE
standard 269M-1999.
For an overview of the alarm system, see page 42.
The rear panel Alarm BNC can be configured to report primary
alarms only or both primary and secondary alarms. The factory
default setting is to report both. DV-33128/33256 configuration is
via a jumper on the NR/SR-33000 board, as shown on page 119 and
page 120. DV-33512 configuration is via a jumper on the RP-33500
512 x 512 Rear Panel board as shown on page 122.
19. Power up the system by connecting the AC power cords. If the LED
on the front panel turns to green after the first few seconds of
operation, the system is operating properly. If the LED continues to
glow red, remove power and diagnose the problem before
powering up the system again. For an explanation of LED alarm
lights, see page 211.
CAUTION For DV-33512 switchers: In order to avoid damage, power must be Off
before removing/installing the “IFC” cables.

Summary of Installation Procedure
20. Keep the front door closed as much as possible when the system is
running.
NoteThe front door should be closed during normal operation. Although the
Trinix switcher will function properly with the door open, leaving the
chassis open on a consistent basis will result in shortened product life.
