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.

• Mission critical components are front loading and hot swappable

• Extensive alarm notification/status

• Load sharing power supplies

• Redundant fans

• Protected path operation

• Broadlinx option combines network interface, sync input, and
output monitor circuitry; allows LAN-based control by Encore/
SMS and system monitoring via Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Planning and Installation Manual 19

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.

20 Planning 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 Manual 21

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

22 Planning 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 Manual 23

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.
