ESD Protection

Electronics today are more susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage than older equipment. Damage to equipment can occur by ESD
fields that are smaller than you can feel. Implementing the information in
this section will help you protect the investment that you have made in
purchasing Grass Valley equipment. This section contains Grass Valley’s
recommended ESD guidelines that should be followed when handling
electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS) items. These minimal recommen
dations are based on the information in the Sources of ESD and Risks area.
The information in Grounding Requirements for Personnel on page 29 is pro­vided to assist you in selecting an appropriate grounding method.

Recommended ESD Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when handling Grass Valley equipment:

• Only trained personnel that are connected to a grounding system
should handle ESDS items.

• Do not open any protective bag, box, or special shipping packaging
until you have been grounded.

-

Note When a Personal Grounding strap is unavailable, as an absolute minimum,

touch a metal object that is touching the floor (for example, a table, frame, or
rack) to discharge any static energy before touching an ESDS item.

• Open the anti-static packaging by slitting any existing adhesive tapes.
Do not tear the tapes off.

• Remove the ESDS item by holding it by its edges or by a metal panel.

• Do not touch the components of an ESDS item unless it is absolutely
necessary to configure or repair the item.

• Keep the ESDS work area clear of all nonessential items such as coffee
cups, pens, wrappers and personal items as these items can discharge
static. If you need to set an ESDS item down, place it on an anti-static
mat or on the anti-static packaging.

Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual 27

ESD Protection

Sources of ESD and Risks

The following information identifies possible sources of electrostatic dis­charge and can be used to help establish an ESD policy.

Personnel

One of the largest sources of static is personnel. The static can be released
from a person’s clothing and shoes.

Environment

The environment includes the humidity and floors in a work area. The
humidity level must be controlled and should not be allowed to fluctuate
over a broad range. Relative humidity (RH) is a major part in determining
the level of static that is being generated. For example, at 10% - 20% RH a
person walking across a carpeted floor can develop 35kV; yet when the rel
ative humidity is increased to 70% - 80%, the person can only generate

1.5kV.

-

Static is generated as personnel move (or as equipment is moved) across a
floor’s surface. Carpeted and waxed vinyl floors contribute to static build
up.

Work Surfaces

Painted or vinyl-covered tables, chairs, conveyor belts, racks, carts, anod­ized surfaces, plexiglass covers, and shelving are all static generators.

Equipment

Any equipment commonly found in an ESD work area, such as solder
guns, heat guns, blowers, etc., should be grounded.

Materials

Plastic work holders, foam, plastic tote boxes, pens, packaging containers
and other items commonly found at workstations can generate static elec
tricity.

The Trinix family of routing switchers represents a revolutionary new
approach to digital signal distribution, which builds on the success of the
best selling routing switcher ever, Venus.

Trinix
new model offers industry-leading cooling, signal and switching perfor
mance, as well as field-proven reliability and scalability. Trinix offers more
options for redundancy, and more powerful options, than any other router.

Frame Sizes

Trinix is available in six fixed frame sizes:

NXT

is the next generation of the Trinix model routing switcher. This

Features

• 128 x 128 router in eight Rack Units (RUs)

• 128 x 256 router in 11 RUs

• 256 x 256 router in 15 RUs

• 256 x 512 router in 22 RUs

• 512 x 512 router in 32 RUs

• 512x1024 router in 40 RUs.

These fixed frame designs offer optimal solutions for customers who have
minimum space requirements yet still need a large number of crosspoints.

The reliability and functionality that you have come to expect from the
Trinix line of routing switches enhances the new features. The Trinix
routing switcher’s features include:

• Proven dependability

• Exceptional signal performance

• Standard Definition (SD), High Definition (HD), and 3Gb/s in the same
frame

NXT

• 3Gb/s Clean Flow signals

• Easy to service and upgrade

Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual 31

Section 1 — Introduction

• High density in minimal space

• Each I/O board 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

• High-density crosspoints in compact frames.

• Fixed matrix sizes can be combined to form larger routers.

• Modular design allows for SD, HD, and 3Gb/s within the same frame.

• Passive expanders for input/output expansion, dual/quad outputs

• Frame design maximizes air flow

• 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. SNMP/NetCentral
system monitoring also available

Note The part numbers for the Trinix routers have changed from DV-##### to TRX-

NXT-###x###. The exceptions for this change are noted in this manual. The
DV-##### part number will be shown and described when a disparity occurs.

Additional Options

The Trinix Routing switcher has additional options that will help you to
meet your business needs:

• Fiber Input and Output boards (See Trinix Fiber Option on page 415)

• Trinix Multiviewer (See the Trinix Multiviewer Installation and Service
manual)

SD, HD, and 3GB/s in the Same Frame

Trinix NXT supports SD, HD, and 3Gb/s video in all configurations. The
matrix boards and high-speed backplane are designed for SD, HD, and
3Gb/s signals. The only difference between SD, HD, and 3Gb/s implemen­tations is the 3G Matrix, Input and Output boards. This similarity makes
upgrading easy for both budgets and implementation; thus solving the
problem of deciding when to prepare for HD and 3Gb/s technology in a
facility.

32 Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual

Easy to Create Very Large Routers

Creating very large routers in the Trinix design is accomplished by using
special circuitry for simple and cost effective expansion. For example,
Using passive port expansion modules, a 1024 x 1024 router can be built
using Grass Valleys 512x512 or 512x1024 Routing switchers.

Using the 512x512 Routing Switcher

A 1024 x 1024 router can be built using four 512 x 512 frames coupled
together with the passive port expanders in four equipment racks. These
expanders can also be used to provide dual or quad, non-inverting outputs.

Using the 512x1024 Routing Switcher

A 1024 x 1024 router can be built using two 512 x 1024 frames coupled
together with the passive port expanders in two equipment racks.

Control Systems

The Trinix router can be controlled by a variety of control systems. The
Trinix router can be controlled by the Jupiter Facility Control System using
a Crosspoint bus connection (see Glossary) and either a VM-3000 System
Controller or a CM-4000 System Controller. The VM and CM controllers
can receive switching commands from a variety of serial sources, including
Jupiter control panels or an automation computer. Trinix can also be con
trolled using a direct Ethernet (“CPL”) integration with the Grass Valley
Encore or SMS 7000 control system.

-

The Symmetric Trinix Frame

Trinix was designed with reliability and serviceability in mind. Each frame
has redundant power supplies, redundant fans, and a physical topology
that is designed to maximize cooling. Mission critical modules are front
loading and hot swappable.

Power Supplies

All Trinix frames accommodate a minimum of two load-sharing power
supplies and have two AC inputs. This duplication allows for full redun
dant operations.

Each power supply is front loading, hot swappable, and has its own fans
for cooling. The 128 x 128 frame includes two fan modules, the 256 x 256
frame includes three, and a 512 x 512 frame includes six fan modules.

Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual 33

Section 1 — Introduction

The Asymmetric Frame

The Trinix frame offers plenty of power to spare the:

• Trinix DV-33128 runs on a 600W Power Supply Unit (PSU).

• Trinix NXT-128x128 runs on a 1000W PSU.

• Trinix DV-33256 and the DV-33512 both run on a 1250W PSU.

• Trinix NXT-512x512 runs on a 1300W PSU.

Note It is important that you refer to the Trinix rear panel’s frame markings for the

correct Fuse value and Power requirements.

The Trinix Asymmetric frame offers the same features as the symmetric
frame but with a different input/output configuration. The same routing
circuit boards that are used in the Symmetric frame can be used in the
Asymmetric frame.

The Trinix Asymmetric frame can use up to two external 1 RU power
supply racks. Each power supply rack can accommodate up to four redun
dant, load sharing power supply modules. The power supply rack also pro­vides four AC input connectors. The wattage for each of these modules is:

• 1200 W for AC low line.

• 1800 W for AC high line.

The 128 x 256 frame includes three fan modules, the 256 x512 frame
includes seven, and the 512x1024 frame uses eight, four in each power
supply tray (two PS trays are the minimum).

Trinix Architecture

The architecture of the Trinix signal flow is organized into three boards:
Input board, Matrix board, and Output board. These boards are connected
to a passive backplane circuit board. Each Input and Output board can
accommodate 32 signals, as well as a mixed population of SD, HD, and
3Gb/s boards in increments of 32. Trinix frames may be built in increments
of 32 due to this signal accommodation.

Trinix Routing switchers with the HO-3G, HO-33110 HD and HO-33120
SD/HD/3G output boards can have signal reclocking be set to “Auto On/
Off” or “Off” for each of the 32 outputs. In the “Auto On/Off” mode, prop
erly-formed standard data rate signals will be reclocked but other signals
will be bypassed (not reclocked). For more information on “Standard” data
rates, see

-

-

Performance Characteristics on page 114.

34 Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual

The VI-33100 “universal” input board uses inputs 0 - 15 are analog, SD, or
HD. Inputs 16 - 31 are SD or HD. The 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 the

page 66.

The BL-33000 Broadlinx option combines network interface, sync input,
and output monitor circuitry. Each board has two sync inputs and two
monitor outputs. Two boards can be installed which will provide four ports
for each. The sync reference supports generation of Vertical Interval Switch
Timing strobe from standard NTSC or PAL Black Burst or HDTV Tri-level
sync defined in the SMPTE 274M-1998 standard (see the
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 non-inverting
and fully meet DVB-ASI (see

Glossary) specifications.

Analog Processing Control section on

Glossary). Sync

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 cutting-edge technology
to reduce the number of components, increase the reliability of individual
parts, enhance air movement throughout the frame, 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 frame design distrib­utes one voltage, 48 volts, to all boards. This design requires each board to
convert the voltage level as needed.

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 hard
ware 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.

For Protected Path operations, 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 avail
able for single-frame and redundant frame system configurations. Pro­tected path operation requires the HO-33120 HD/SD Output Boards or the
HO-3G Output Boards in the paths to be protected. For more information
on, see the

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 con
nection.

Protected Paths section.

-

-

Broadlinx will also support SNMP/NetCentral monitoring with the correct
license.

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 recom
mended for best performance).

Broadlinx also provides Web pages for the following operations:

• Network configuration of the NR-33000 boards

• Downloading of software upgrades to the various boards in the system

• System monitoring using Internet Explorer

Typical aspects that can be monitored are “warnings” or alarms for all the
voltages on each circuit board, input signal presence, and output reclocking
status. Information about the current version of firmware that is being used
is also available.

-

For more information, see Broadlinx / Internet Explorer Monitoring on

page 311.

36 Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual

SNMP/NetCentral Monitoring

When enabled, the Trinix SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
agent allows the Grass Valley NetCentral application to monitor the Trinix
router. The Trinix SNMP agent is supplied with the 2.2 version (and newer
versions) of the Broadlinx software. By default, the SNMP agent is dis
abled; a hardware address (MAC) based license key must be obtained for
the agent to become active. This license can be purchased as part of the orig
inal system or can be purchased later by contacting Grass Valley Technical
Support. The MAC address is shown in the SNMP section of the Configu
ration Broadlinx web access display. Clicking the Enter License Key button
will allow the entry of the Grass Valley-supplied license key.

Because the license is stored in the NR-33000 (Broadlinx) board’s 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, the Primary
Broadlinx board enables SNMP on the Secondary Broadlinx board. If either
the Primary or Secondary Broadlinx board is replaced, the remaining
Broadlinx board enables SNMP on the new Broadlinx board.

NetCentral

NetCentral is a suite of software modules that can reside on one or more
computers. These modules work together to monitor and report the opera
tional status of SNMP-enabled devices. For example, Trinix, Encore,
7500NB/WB frames, Concerto Fast Controllers, and so forth.

-

-

-

-

When the Trinix SNMP Agent is activated, it will automatically send mes­sages, or reports the device status to the NetCentral Monitoring Station.
(Up to five Monitoring Stations are supported.) These 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:

• Play a sound file or a computer beep.

• Send an E-mail message to one or more addresses.

• Send an E-mail message to pager or cell phone.

• Run a selected 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 then go to the
Broadlinx web page’s Home page.
This configuration step is described in the Broadlinx / Internet Explorer
Monitoring on page 311 section.

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

Trinix Frames

The beginning of this section includes the conceptual descriptions and
drawings for those who need a basic understanding of the product and its
configuration options. Later subsections provide additional detail such as
connection diagrams and ordering information.

Grass Valley recommends that you terminate all unused outputs. Properly
shielded 75-ohm terminators or spare infrastructure coax cables should be
used. This step will ensure EMC compliance. Spare BNC panels that are not
connected to boards do not need to be terminated.

Grass Valley recommends that the cable lengths be no less than 10 Meters
(32.8 Feet) when re-entering the Trinix routing switcher through 3Gb/s
Input boards. This length does not apply to HD and SD operations.

The Symmetrical Trinix NXT and Trinix router switchers are available in
three fixed frame sizes each:

Note The DV33XXX frames are no longer available to purchase. However, this

manual covers specifics about these DV33XXX frames. The DV33XXX frames
and the TRX-NXTXXX frames are similar except for minor differences, which

Power Supplies

The symmetrical Trinix routing family uses an internal power supply. The
128 and 256 frames can use two power supplies. The optional (and recom
mended) second power 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.

All power supplies are front loading, can be hot-swapped, and has its own
fan for cooling. The supply uses automatic line sensing technology to adapt
the supply to all major power standards throughout the world.

Note Grass Valley strongly recommends, whenever possible, using the AC high

In AC power applications, the 512x512 frames are equipped with two
power supplies mounted in a separate frame. Space for two additional sup
plies for redundancy is provided. Redundant power supplies are highly
recommended for On-Air or Business-critical routers. The 512x512 router’s
power supply frame may be mounted above or below the router’s main
frame, depending on video cable routing requirements (or weight distribu
tion requirements).

line to reduce line currents and heat within the power supplies.

-

-

The back panel of the frame provides a separate AC connector for each
power supply. Each power supply has its own separate IEC AC power
cord. Each power cord should be plugged into a separate dedicated (20A
AC low line, 10A AC high line) power circuit. This action prevents the
router from having one failed supply being able to trip the breaker on a
heavily loaded circuit, and then temporarily shutting off other functioning
power supplies or equipment. The back panel of the frame also provides an
optional 48VDC input connector. The 48VDC input connector is an option
for additional power redundancy. DC power can be supplied by an
external “Tertiary” supply (a Trinix option), or by a customer provided
48VDC power source. (See
requirements.)

CAUTION External 48 VDC Inputs are not fused. Customers must ensure that the 48

VDC power sources, which they must provide, are properly fused.

Each power supplies deliver 48 volts to all components and the individual
components convert down the voltages for their particular need.

It is possible to operate the router with a combination of internal power
supplies and an external DC power source for additional redundancy.

Asymmetrical Router

Note For information about optional Power Supply configurations for the Asym-

metrical routers, see Trinix Asymmetrical Power Supply Configurations on

page 227.

Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual 55

Section 2 — Planning Guide

The Asymmetrical Trinix router provides two isolated DC input power
connectors only. An external AC to DC power supply provides power for
these connectors or a customer may provide a 48 VDC power source.

CAUTION External 48 VDC Inputs are not fused. Customers must ensure that the 48

VDC power sources, which they must provide, are properly fused.

An external power supply rack is available that will accommodate up to
four redundant, load sharing power supply modules for each power con
nector on the frame. The 128x256 and 256x512 frames each have two power
connectors. The back panel of the power supply rack provides a separate
AC connector for each power supply. Each power supply cord should be
plugged into a separate dedicated (20A AC low line and 10A AC high line)
power circuit.

Note Grass Valley strongly recommends, whenever possible, using the AC high

line to reduce line currents and heat within the power supplies.

The Trinix 512x1024 frames have a minimum of two PS trays with four
power modules in each tray. Every power supply module that is used in an
Asymmetrical frame has its own separate IEC AC power cord. The Primary
power supply trays connect to the frame in the rear of the chassis on the A1
and A2 correctors. Secondary power supplies may be added to the B1 and
B2 connectors using an additional pair of power supply trays (See
Asymmetrical Power Supply Configurations on page 227, for more informa­tion).

Cooling System

The Trinix router uses fan modules (FM-33000) for cooling the main
chamber of the frame. A fan module consists of two blower-type fans that
are housed in a mechanical assembly. The 128 x 128 frame uses two mod
ules, the 256 x 256 frame uses three, and the 512 uses six. The 128x256 frame
uses three fan modules, and the 256x512 frame uses seven fan modules. The
fan modules are front-loading and can be hot-swapped.

Note The door on the front of all Trinix frames should be closed when the router is

Airflow openings for the 128 frame are shown in Figure 19. Air is taken in
from the sides of the frame (primarily the left side), where the air is drawn
across the Input and Output boards, past the matrix board, and up to the
top rear of the frame where it is expelled from the router. A small amount
of air is drawn from the right side of the frame as well to help cool the
matrix boards. A Front-Air Vent is provided as an additional router-cooling
option. This option is described on page

Using a set of central fan modules to cool the main chamber eliminates the
possibility of cooling loss in one area due to failure of a single fan.The
system will continue to operate if a fan does fail. Grass Valley recommends
that you replace the fan and return the system to normal redundant opera
tion as soon as possible.

Cooling Asymmetric Frames

Air is taken in from the bottom of the frame (cut-outs are located on the
very bottom of the sides). This air is then drawn up through all of the Input
and Output boards as well as the matrix boards to the top rear of the frame.
The air is then expelled out the back of the router. The airflow openings for
the 128x256 frame are shown in

Figure 22 on page 59. The airflow openings

for the 256x512 frame are shown in Figure 23.

The 512x1024 frame is the result of years of researching how to cool a
routing switcher. The routing switcher has two fans, one on the top and one
on the bottom. Air is drawn in from the bottom of the fans and is exhausted
through the top of the frame. A two (2) RU space should be kept free on the
bottom of the frame and fan to ensure enough airflow. Do NOT place any
thing on the top of the 512x1024 frame to prevent over heating.

A two (2) RU vent option is also available to draw intake air in from the
front of the frame (

Figure 24 on page 60).

Trinix Frames

Sync Reference Options

For synchronous vertical interval switching the same sync reference signal
must be sent to the control system (for example, Jupiter CM-4000 or CM-

4400) and to the Trinix. (The Trinix will operate without a sync connection
but switching will be non-synchronous.) Each sync input uses looping 75­ohm 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 frame on an output­board basis. For example, NTSC sync could be used for one set of 32
outputs and HD sync for another set of 32 outputs.

In the TRX-NXT-128x128, TRX-NXT-256x256, and theTRX-NXT-512x1024
Routing switchers, 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 four
independent sync sources.

In TRX-NXT-512x512 Routing switchers, 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 frame 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.

In TRX-NXT-256x512 Routing switchers, which are normally supplied
with a TRX-SR Sync/OPM board, up to four independent sync sources can
be connected and any of the four can be selected for each output board. It
is also possible to divide the sync sources between the TRX-SR and the
Broadlinx board but the maximum number of sync sources is always four.

In the TRX-NXT-128x256 and TRX-NXT-512x1024 Routing switchers, the
TRX-OPM board does not process sync references. Sync is supplied exclu
sively from the NR-33000 boards.

Sync Redundant mode

For all Trinix routers Two Broadlinx boards can be operated in the Sync
Redundant mode. That is, the sync signals are looped through each board.
If the primary Broadlinx board fails, the system will switch automatically
to the secondary board. The number of sync signals is limited to two for
redundant operation.

For Sync reference details, see Sync Reference Connections on page 157.

Output Monitoring

The TRX-NXT-128x128, and the TRX-NXT-256x256 frames, uses two pairs
of output monitor ports, which are provided by the NR-33000 board (one
side of each pair is inverted). Two additional dual ports are optionally

Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual 61

-

Section 2 — Planning Guide

available when a second NR-33000 is added; this would provide four
monitor ports.

• The SR-33500 Sync/OPM board, on the TRX-NXT-512x512 frames, pro­vides four monitoring ports.

• The TRX-SR Sync/OPM board, on the TRX-NXT-256x512 frames, pro­vides four monitoring ports.

• The TRX-OPM board, on the TRX-NXT-128x256 and TRX-NXT­512x1024 frames, provides four monitoring ports.

Symmetric Frames

For configurations that require multiple frames, the monitor signals are
brought through a Port expander used as a combiner (see

Expanded Systems).

Monitoring with

Asymmetric Frames

The TRX-SR Sync/OPM and TRX-OPM boards provide four monitor
inputs to accommodate cascading multiple frames into a single output
monitor stream. These boards are specific to the asymmetrical routers, for
more information see
section.

Asymmetrical Frames on page 200 in the Monitoring

3Gp/s Output Monitoring

The TRX-GPMEZ-3G mezzanine module on the TRX-HO-3G base Output
Module in the Trinix Symmetrical frame, receives a stream that is
1080p59.95, it is the down-converted to 1080i59.95.

The TRX-SR Sync/OPM and TRX-OPM boards support 3Gp/s Output
Monitoring in the asymmetrical frames.

Signal Flow

Trinix is a three-board routing system, where the input board, output
board, and matrix board are the basic modules.

The signal flow through a 128 x 128 routing system is shown in Figure 25

on page 63 as an example. Inputs are received and outputs are delivered to

the rear of the frame directly with a connection to the rear panels (no
cabling).

Pre-wiring

All Trinix Routing switchers are pre-wired to the size of the frame. For
example, a 128-frame is pre-wired to 128 x 128 with all rear panels and
BNCs in place; the 256-frame is pre-wired to 256 x 256.

128, as that is the smallest frame size increment.

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 (for example, Inputs “0-31,”
Inputs “32-63,” etc.) is provided for customers who are using a 0-based

The operation of cooling fans, frame power supplies, on-board power sup­plies, and primary vs. secondary Broadlinx boards are all monitored. Any
alarm for these critical items is treated as a Primary alarm. With the release
of Broadlinx 3.1, the router’s system alarm has two modes, “No alarms”
and “Primary alarm.” All alarms (multiple fan failure, power supply
failure, etc.) are considered Primary alarms. All major components include
a local alarm LED.

The master alarm indicator is on the front panel (Power/Alarm) where
green indicates normal operation and red indicates a Primary alarm.

The rear panel Alarm BNC is configured to report primary alarms only. The
TRX-NXT-128x128 and TRX-NXT-256x256 is configured via jumper on the
NR/SR-33000 board. The location of the board is shown in

page 136 and Figure 65 on page 138. The TRX-NXT-512x512 is configured

via a jumper on the RP-33500 512 x 512 Rear Panel board as shown on

Figure 68 on page 141.

Trinix router’s inputs and outputs are designed to duplicated or expanded

should be terminated for optimum performance.

Note For Jupiter-controlled (0-based) systems, the input/output numbers in the

Frame numbers are determined by the input/output blocks served by the
particular frame. For example, for a TRX-NXT-256x256 router, inputs 1-256
and outputs 1-256 must be connected to frame zero. For more information
about frame numbering, see

Output Duplication - Dual

The PE-33016 and PE2X2-3G Port expanders are passive, transformer­based modules that can be used to provide two copies of the same signal.
The PE-33016 should be used for SD and HD signals. The PE2x2-3G pro
vides the necessary bandwidth for 3Gp/s operations. The PE2x2-3G can
also be used for SD and HD operation. Functionality of the expander is bi­directional and depends on connections only; no configuration is required.

Figure 29 and Figure 30 show a splitting application. In the figures below,

the PE33016 Port expander is used for an example only. Use the PE33016
Port expander for HD operations and the PE2x2-3G Port expander for
3Gp/s operations. Unused connectors should be terminated for optimum
performance.

Figure 30. PE-33016 Used to Provide 16 Dual Outputs.

In the splitting application, a port expander can be used to provide dual
outputs in groups of 16 outputs. Use the PE33016 Port expander for HD
operations and the PE2x2-3G Port expander for 3Gp/s operations. All
outputs are non-inverting. For example, a 256 x 256 router could be
arranged as follows:

• 256 inputs x 240 single outputs and 16 dual outputs - uses 1 Port
expander, or

• 256 inputs x 224 single outputs and 32 dual outputs - uses 2 Port
expander, or

• 256 inputs x 208 single outputs and 48 dual outputs - uses 3 Port
expander... etc.

Figure 31 shows a router with 240 single outputs and 16 dual outputs. In

Output Duplication - Quad

The PE-33008 Port expander can provide quad outputs in groups of 16
outputs for SD or HD options. The PE-33008 Port expander functions for
data rates from 270Mb to 1.5 Gb. All outputs are non-inverting. A 128 x 128
Routing switcher could be arranged in the following manner:

• 128 inputs x 112 single outputs and 16 quad outputs - uses 2 port
expanders
or

• 128 inputs x 96 single outputs and 32 quad outputs - uses 4 port
expanders
or

• 128 inputs x 80 single outputs and 48 dual outputs - uses 6 port
expander... etc.

In this application, the eight (8) PE-33008 rear BNCs are used for inputs
(outputs from the router) and all 32 of the front BNCs are used for outputs.
Up to 16 PE-33008 modules can be mounted in an MK-33000 Mounting Kit,
which is 8 RU high and approximately 4 inches (100 mm) deep.

Figure 34 shows a 128 input router with two PE-33008s mounted in an MK-

Expanded Systems

The PE-33016, PE-2X2 3G, and PE-33008 Port expanders can be used to
combine outputs (SD and HD options) for an input expansion application.
The PE-2X2 3G is required for 2X2 expansion in 3G systems, but will also
work for SD and HD systems. The PE-33016 and PE-33008 will not work
with 3G systems. In

Figure 35 and Figure 36, a PE-33016 or PE-2X2 3G is

downstream of the router. The router will present only one of the two pos­sible signals to each combiner, which will then produce two copies of that
signal. Only one of the input signals will be present at a time and this signal
is then duplicated. Any unused connectors should be terminated for
optimum performance.

The port expanders are mounted in an MK-33000 Mounting Kit as
described previously (

Figure 35. PE-33016 Used as a Combiner.

Figure 33 on page 73).

76 Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual

Duplication and Expansion

Possible expanded configurations include:

• 1024 inputs x 512 dual outputs

• 1024 inputs x 1024 dual outputs

• 512 inputs x 1024 outputs

• 2048 inputs x 2048 outputs (SD and HD only)

• 1024 inputs x 1024 outputs

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. In the figures below the PE33016 Port expander
is used as an example. Use the PE33016 Port expander for HD operations
and the PE2x2-3G Port expander for 3Gp/s operations.

Termination for Pre-wired Expansion Frames

The unused BNC connectors on the port expanders should be terminated
for best performance. However, it may be desirable to install an empty or
partially filled frame with associated cabling to simplify future expansion.
When such cabling connects to a Port expander that is carrying active sig
nals, special termination hardware is required. Since the presence of pre­wired cabling will not permit standard BNC terminators to be installed on
the expander, an LD-33100 Loader board must be installed in the associ
ated frame in place of an input or output board to provide correct termina­tion.

Grass Valley recommends that you terminate all unused outputs that may
be driven with an active signal. Properly shielded 75-ohm terminators or
spare infrastructure coax cables should be used. This step will ensure EMC
compliance. Spare output BNC panels that are not populated with output
boards and spare input BNCs do not need to be terminated.

Frame 1 contains no input or output boards, but the wiring has already
been installed between Frame 1 and the PE-331016 Port expanders.

Now consider Output 1 of Frame 0. This signal is connected to Input 1A of
the first PE-33016 Port expander. See

Figure 47. Detail of One PE-33016

Figure 47 below.

In this example:

• Only Input 1A and Output 1A are presently functional.

• Output 1B is fitted with a 75-ohm BNC terminator, which is following

the rule that unused connectors should be terminated.

• 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,
which has been installed in output board slot 1-32 of Frame 0. Further­more, in this example all 16 output slots of Frame 0 should have an LD­33000 installed.

• When the system is upgraded to 1024 x 512, the LD-33000 boards will

be removed and replaced by output boards. The cabling to the port
expanders is already in place.

The concepts in this example can be applied equally to both HD and SD
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 in

Figure 37 on page 79, where LD-33100 Loader

boards would be installed in place of output boards in Frames 4 through 7).

Output Expansion

The LD-33100 Loader boards may also be used for output-expandable sys­tems. For example, Figure 48 on page 89, below shows a 512 x 512 system
expandable to 512 x 1024:

Figure 48. A 512 X 512 System Expanded to 512 x 1024

Again, considering one signal path (below in Figure 49), pre-wired cable
connections do not allow for installation of individual terminators. Instead,
the LD-33100 Loader boards are installed in the unused frame. However, in
this case they are installed in the input slots.

Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual 89

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

Section 2 — Planning Guide

Monitoring with Expanded Systems

would be a 512 x 512 pre-wired for expansion to 1024 x 1024 (similar to the
system that is shown in
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 LD boards would be needed for Frame 3.

Output monitor signals must be sent through a combiner in expanded sys­tems. An example of an output-expanded system in shown in Figure 50 on

page 91; an input-expanded system is shown in (Figure 119 on page 209).

Note Output monitoring is not available for input-expanded systems controlled by

an SR-33000 Sync/OPM board.

Protected Paths

Overview

Protected Paths

The Protected path function is designed to monitor router outputs that are
feeding critical downstream equipment and, in the event of signal loss, will
automatically select the output that is carrying the same signal and trigger
the system alarm.

The Protected path function assumes the following:

• Supported Output Boards provide the output signals that will be mon­itored. These boards allow individual outputs to be enabled or disabled
using software controls.

• Protection is provided for paths, that is, 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.

• Two copies of each protected input must be wired to the router for full
redundancy. 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.

• The primary output and the secondary output must be wired to a
passive combiner; the output of the passive combiner is then 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 (for example, 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 Jupiter Facility Control System on page 106.

Figure 54 on page 96 shows an example of a TRX-NXT-512x512 router with

a pair of Protected paths (Depending on system requirements, the
upstream splitter may or may not be needed). The signal detector monitors

Planning

The following section describes the Protected path planning process.

Note The following discussion is based on a 1-based numbering scheme (Encore

Control system). If you are using a zero-based numbering system (Jupiter
AccuSwitch Control system), subtract 1 from all instances of input/output
numbers.

TRX-NXT-512x512

The recommended Protected path ranges for TRX-NXT-512x512 routers are
as follows:

Table 3. Recommended Protected path Ranges

Primary Path Secondary Path

Output Input Output Input

1-256 1-256 257-512 257-512

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

Table 4. Alternative Protected Path Ranges

Primary Path Secondary Path

Output Input Output Input

257-384 257-384 1-128 1-128

Ta bl e 4:

Using either of these schemes will provide the most independent possible
paths through a TRX-NXT-512x512. In other words, 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.

The maximum number of Protected paths for a TRX-NXT-512x512 router is

256.

A more detailed example is shown in Tab le 5. This table shows a sequential
wiring scheme for a system yet to be installed or a system where cables will

range.

Recommended Protected path ranges for TRX-NXT-256x256 routers are as
follows:

Table 7. Recommended Protected Path Ranges

Primary Path Secondary Path

Out In Out In

1-128 1-128 129-256 129-256

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 129-256 and a
corresponding input in the range 129-256.

This will provide the most independent possible paths through a TRX­NXT-256x256. That is, the primary path will use one set of input, matrix,
and output boards while the secondary path will use a different set of
boards.

CAUTION With a TRX-NXT-256x256, it is not possible to arrange completely indepen-

dent paths, that is, paths that use different power supplies. Protected path
configuration for TRX-NXT-256x256 routers provides redundancy for matrix
boards and input and output boards only.

The maximum number of Protected paths for a TRX-NXT-256x256 router is

128.
