1 Product overview
Figure 1: Front and rear view
The FlashCase is a building block in Nevion’s awardwinning Flashlink Live Media Networking
solution. It is a plug-and-play stagebox for transport of video, audio, data, sync and intercom
from/to video and audio ingest positions.
The FlashCase’s modular design is customizable to fit each application. It supports all
Flashlink modules and covers a complete range of 3G-SDI video and audio processing as
well as dark fiber video, data and Ethernet transport. The FlashCase also features an in-band
management solution that enables control and monitoring of equipment in remote locations.
The FlashCase II model 1 features 2 Neutrik OpticalCON QUAD connectors which provide
access to 4 or 8 fibers of video, audio and data transport. The models connector scheme has
been carefully designed to fit a two camera ingest. The model can also be upgraded with an
8 channel CWDM filter to extend the number of signals transported.
1.1 Key features

2 Specifications
2.1 Ambient temperature
The equipment will meet the guaranteed performance specification under the following
environmental conditions:
Operating ambient temperature range: 0°C to +35°C
Operating relative humidity range: <90% (non-condensing)
The equipment will operate without damage under the following environmental conditions:
Temperature range: -10°C to +40°C
Relative humidity range: <95% (non-condensing
Warning: Exposure to direct sunlight during operation can result in the equivalent
ambient temperature exceeding the specified allowed maximum.
2.2 External power supplies
The external power supplies must meet the following specifications:
Voltage: Min. 10.0VDC Max. 18.0VDC
Supplied power: Min. 55W continuous
Ripple and noise: Max. 100mVpp
The product is shipped SL-PWR-90-FlashCase which is a desktop power supply for indoor
use only. For outdoor applications use power solutions suited for the current conditions.
FlasehCase II supports redundant power supply schemes by using the two power inlet.
PSU failure on one of the attached PSU is reported by GPI as well as by Multicon.
Each power inlet is protected by a a fuse. Broken fuse is reported by GPI and Multicon.
status This fuse can be changed at the internal power board. A spare fuse is mounted
close to the active fuses.
2.3 Internal voltage sources, max power
The unit has 10pcs card slots and is designed to contain up to 5pcs one card- or two card
FL-modules and combinations of such modules.
The power limitations for the internal power board are as follows:
“+5V”: Max 25W
“+15V”: Max 7.5W
“-15V”: Max 7.5W
These limits are absolute and may limit the number and combination of Flashlink modules.

3 Configuration and assembly
3.1 Connection to Multicon
Connection to Multicon may be performed in four different ways:
RS-422 cable (Ethernet cable) from an FR-2RU frame containing a Multicon
module
Multicon module mounted in the FlashCase-II unit
D-422-MG mounted in the FlashCase-II unit (requires two units, one in each end)
“In band management”. Please contact Nevion concerning this option.
3.2 Frame number selection in Multicon
Configure the desired frame (0 to 7) in Multicon by using the rotary switch at the internal
power board (Please see figure 3).
3.3 Module appearance in Multicon
The FlashCase-II unit (power board) will always appear as module number 6 of 10 in the
Multicon frame.
The mounted Flashlink modules will appear as numbers 1 to 5, with number 5 in the card
position furthest from the power board.
3.4 Internal power board, connections
The following connectors are in addition to the internal power connectors
One RJ-45 for RS-422 communication
One BNC for connection of a frame sync signal to the Flashlink modules
One 4pin header, GPI alarm output;
Pin1/pin2: Fan alarm Relay output, shorted when in alarm status
Pin3/pin4: Voltage alarm Relay output, shorted when in alarm status

3.5 Defective fan replacement
To replace a defective fan:
Release the backplate/chassis from the profile
Release the fan connector from the board
Remove the fan by unscrewing the two screws
Mount the new fan

3.6 Flashlink module installation
3.6.1 Flashlink backplane installation
Install the backplane closest to the power board first. This is the recommended procedure for
an effortless installation.
3.6.2 Flashlink module installation
Ensure that the plastic board clip “clicks” into the correct position and locks the module in
place. This may require pushing the module with a gentle force against its backplane.

3.7 The fiber fix board
FlashCase-II contains a board for the organization of optical components (such as CWDM
filters and splitters) and fibers.
The mounting holes is designed specifically for optical components provided by Nevion.
Use the board to organize excessive fiber lengths. This will minimize the risk of fiber damage.
The fiber clip circles have a diameter of 5cm. Make sure no fibers have a bending diameter
lower than this value.
The twin holes along the long edges are for cable ties of 2-2.5mm width.

Figure 6: Fiber fix board mounted in chassis
3.8 EMC considerations
Electrical cables should be kept away from the power board to ensure minimum noise impact
from the switching supplies.
3.9 EMC gaskets
Verify that all gaskets are properly mounted along the edge of the profile before mounting
end plates and panels with handles.

5 Operation
5.1 Multicon
Figure 8 shows fan no. 2 failing and no external power supply connected to input 1.
NOTE: An alarm will be triggered when the system is started with only one
external power source connection. This is a prompt to verify connection source.
If the intention is to connect to one source, please acknowledge the alarm
If the intention is to connect to two sources, please check the connections
Figure 8: front page
Figure 9 shows the configuration page.
NOTE: There are no user configurable parameters or alarm thresholds for this
product.
NOTE: Fan voltage has no alarm in , however; a fan alarm (“Fan 1 fail”, “Fan 2
fail”) will be triggered when a significant drop in fan voltage occurs.

5.2 LEDs
At the Power board there is a dual (red/green) LED mainly meant for monitoring during the
production process. The function of these LEDs is:
Red: Alarm situation
Green: Non-alarm situation

NOTE:
Replacement may
be performed while
the unit is fully
functioning by

5.3 Alarms, required actions
Required actions when a fan alarm is present are dependent on the incident with regard to
power load and environmental temperature.
5.3.1 Fan alarms
5.3.1.1 One fan alarm
The above table is the suggested action plan. Actual results are dependent on factors such
as:
The condition of the Flashlink modules
Actual bit rate
Transmission margins
5.3.1.2 Two fan alarms triggered simultaneously
This indicates a serious failure in the fan power circuit, and the unit should be repaired as
soon as possible.
The Flashlink modules will function for a period of uncertain duration depending on the
margins with regard to ambient temperature and power load.
5.3.2 Voltage alarms
5.3.2.1 Internal voltages
A voltage below the lower threshold may indicate an overload incident and should be
investigated.
A voltage above the upper limit indicates an error at the internal power board which should
be repaired/replaced.
5.3.2.2 External voltages
The defective power supply should be replaced.

FlashCase-II model 1 Rev. A
5.3.3 Fuse alarm
A fuse failure usually indicates an overload incident.
Check the status of all Flashlink modules.
5.3.4 Temperature alarm
The temperature alarm is triggered when one of the measured temperatures reaches the
alarm threshold.
When both fans are working properly, a temperature alarm indicates an overload incident of
either power consumption or ambient temperature or a combination of both.
One or two failing fans can also trigger this alarm.
