3GHD-CHO-2x4/2x3 Rev. C
1 Product overview
The Flashlink 3GHD-CHO-2x4 is a multi bit-rate distribution amplifier module providing high
performance media distribution for various signal formats from 19.4Mbps up to 2970Mbps. The
unit can be configured to do cable equalizing and reclocking of SMPTE 424M, SMPTE 292M
and SMPTE 259M signal formats.
The two inputs typically provide automatic cable equalizing for up to 70 meters (60 meters for
the passive bypass versions) of cable (Belden 1694A at 2970Mbps) with a total of 8/6
reclocked outputs. The 3GHD-CHO-2x4 will detect 3GHD, HD and SD rates and automatically
switch to the correct output slew-rate.
The reclockers support the bit-rates 270Mbps, 1483.5Mbps, 1485Mbps 2967Mbps and
2970Mbps. For other rates, the reclockers automatically switch to bypass mode, and the
3GHD-CHO-2x4 will work as a non-reclocking distribution amplifier with cable equalizers.
The 3GHD-CHO-2x4 also supports reclocking of DVB-ASI at 270Mbps, enabling all possible
rates including empty transport streams with only K28.5 padding packets. 4 of the outputs are
non-inverting and suitable for DVB-ASI.
The unit can be configured as a 1 x 8/6 distribution amplifier including any of the input ports.
The included intelligent change-over feature gives the ability to change input based on input
signal loss, loss of lock, EDH errors or a combination of the above.
There is also included a passive bypass function (with backplane board C2 and C4) from both
inputs to non-inverted outputs with less than 15 m loss of cable length (enables full redundancy
in case of mains failure).
The 3GHD-CHO-2x4 is designed for all distribution purposes in studio, duplication and
broadcast applications.

8 Configuration from Multicon Gyda
8.1 Card label
Assign a name to the Flashlink module, up to 31 characters. When the locate is pushed all
indicators/LED’s on front of the module will flash for 120 seconds, alternative an period can be
enter into the sec box.
8.2 Firmware upgrade
Update the firmware on the Flashlink module. The firmware file first has to be uploaded to
Multicon Gyda first by ftp. See user manual on Multicon Gyda for help on uploading.
8.3 Electrical input
For SDI signal set the electrical input to normal. For MADI and other low bitrates none SDI
signal set this to EQ bypass. Mute will mute the input signal, use this when the input has no
signal to prevent noise to appear on the input.
8.4 Reclocker
For SDI signal set to enable, else set to bypass. Autobypass only works if the reclocker is
enabled. With autobypass on the reclocker will set the reclocker in bypass mode when none
SDI signal is detected.
8.5 Electrical output
Each output can select getting signal from either the two inputs or from the change over block
using automatic selection.
nevion.com | 13
Page 14
3GHD-CHO-2x4/2x3 Rev. C
8.6 Change over block
The change over block is called “main input” and all alarms from the change over block are
labeled “main input”. *In the following figure the change over function is explained.
The main input is selected. The other input will automatically be the backup input.
In the rules radio button loss of lock or loss of input signal is chosen for the main trigger for
doing change over. Addition to this rules and EDH trigger can be setup, see chapter 8.7.
The trigger has an adjustable time control, called "hold time" and “lock time”. This is used for
three situations:
1. Multiple bursts of error within timer duration triggers a switching to standby.
2. Single continuous error condition whose duration exceeds timer triggers a switching
to standby.
3. Error free periods, whose duration exceeds timer, triggers a switching back to main.
The “hold time” is for main to backup trigging while the “lock time” is for backup to main
restoring of the signal.
The latch will select the behavior of the change over. The following block diagram explains the
behavior of the change over.

8.7 Output 2 behaviour when set to CHO
This option was implemented in software version 1.3.146, and can only be enabled/disabled
using GYDA/SNMP. When enabled (and output 2 is set to “Automatic selection” according to
chapter 8.5), output 2 will do the opposite of the normal automatic selector. This is useful for
situations where both inputs should be monitored by external equipment in addition to the
internal video monitors.
With Multicon release older than 4.2.0, the option is named GPI 2 (when the module is used
with a backplane with no GPI) or GPI 4 (when used with GPI backplane). Active in this instance
is to do the opposite of the automatic selection).

8.8 Video triggers
A trigger is another way of controlling the change-over functionality than the loss of lock and
loss of signal. Each input has their one video trigger, called channel 1 and 2 trigger. In addition
also each channel has an A and B analyzer which reflect the level A and B in a 3G-SDI stream.
The triggers are using the same information (and therefore have the same bit names as the
analyzers), but have separate bit masks. This means that it is possible to count one set of error
types, while using a different error type to control the change-over. This video triggers can
trigger a change over together with loss of lock or loss of signal. The video trigger can be
enabled by selecting the four disable/enable radio buttons
There is one trigger for each analyzer, there are triggers for both the main and standby input,
an error condition on main input doesn't necessarily mean the change-over will switch, but for
simplicity the following description assumes that the standby channel is always "good".
These trigger event is:
Errors are checked once per video field (LOCK errors are counted every 20ms when no video
is present). If an error occurs, it is checked against the bit mask, and if selected for counting
increments the error counter. An SNMP tool is recommended for tracking error counts over
time, with selectable limits on error rate and max count before generating a warning.
Each trigger has an adjustable time control, called "hold time". This is used for three situations:

1. Multiple bursts of error within timer duration triggers a switching to standby.
2. Single continuous error condition whose duration exceeds timer triggers a switching
to standby.
3. Error free periods, whose duration exceeds timer, triggers a switching back to main.
The trigger also has a setting for "bit operator". It is possible to do a logical AND on the bits
after applying the mask. Set to AND, all the individual error types that have been enabled must
be occurring to count as an error condition. Set to OR, any enabled error type will suffice.
8.9 Video analyzers
The two inputs have their own analyzer, called channel 1 and 2. In addition also each channel
has an A and B analyzer which reflect the level A and B in a 3G-SDI stream.
These errors can be counted (or ignored) based on the settings in the configuration view:
Errors are checked once per video field (LOCK errors are counted every 20ms when no video
is present). If an error occurs, it is checked against the bit mask, and if selected for counting
increments the error counter. An SNMP tool is recommended for tracking error counts over
time, with selectable limits on error rate and max count before generating a warning.
