SERVICE PERSONNEL - CAUTION
DOUBLE POLE/NEUTRAL FUSING
3 SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE
Any mains power equipment must be earthed.
Connection and disconnection from the Mains supply is achieved through a detachable mains cord. This must be of a suitable rating and cross-sectional area, and be approved to the relevant national standards. The cord or its plug must be easily accessible to allow disconnection.
Replacement fuses must be of identical ratings to the original parts fitted, i.e. T5A H250
Operate the equipment within environmental limits and ensure as much ventilation as possible (normally Temp 0°C - 50°C <99% humidity).
Only authorised personnel should open the product and any repair or warranty will be invalidated if the seals are broken.
The equipment has been designed to be CE compliant and Technical files are available on request.

4 INTRODUCTION
The Lynx Receiver range are highly flexible, high performance products based on compact DVB-T and LMS-T demodulators using VISLINK’s Maximum Ratio Combining diversity algorithm, and a combined HD/SD decoder.
The ultra low delay MPEG2 SD/HD Decoder has been speed optimised to operate with the Link Research Ltd family of MPEG2 Encoders, which utilise field encoding. This range of decoders will not support frame decoding. A licensable upgrade will allow support for B-Frame or ‘Generic’ MPEG2 Decoding that will support frame decoding, but at higher delay.
The Decoder can also be licensed to support H.264 decoding. This will be available in different levels from Main Profile 4:2:0 8 bit, up to High Profile 4:2:2 10 bit.
The product range is based on three hardware variants: Demodulator-only (L2074), Decoder-only (L2170) and Demodulator-Decoder (L2174). All other variants are licensable and therefore allow for field upgrades by changing the license to enable extra features as required. Please contact VISLINK for details.
This document has been written primarily for the complete L2174 Receiver. Where there are major differences for the L2170 and L2074 variants they will be indicated, however some minor differences may not always be documented.
4.1 L2174 Internal Architecture
The L2174 is based on 3 main hardware components: Demodulator card, Decoder board and Controller board. The L2074 & L2170 products do not have the Decoder and Demodulator boards fitted (respectively). Please note that upgrading one of these to a full L2174 requires the unit to be returned to VISLINK.
As shown in the block diagram above, the Demodulator board generates an ASI stream from the RF inputs and/or the external ASI, then passes this to the Decoder board to generate the Video and Audio outputs. In addition, the Decoder extracts embedded (or ’wayside’) RS232 data if it is present in the transmission, as well as return data from a VISLINK Camera Control System. There are 2 ASI connections between the boards to allow extra flexibility in how the unit is configured (see later).
Video-over-IP functionality is all performed in the Demodulator card in the L2174 and L2074; the external Ethernet connection is routed to this card and any ASI routing is performed between the two boards as required. The L2170 uses the Decoder card for IP functionality.
