HD-TD-10GMX-6 / HD-TD-10GDX-6 Rev. B

1 Product overview

The HD-TD-10GMX-6 / HD-TD-10GDX-6 pair of cards is a Flashlink solution for
transporting up to six HD-SDI and two SD-SDI video streams over a single 10 Gb/s link.

Six ports accept all common HD-SDI/SD-SDI/ASI formats and standards, and the transport
solution is completely transparent with any combination of formats and standards. The
same applies to ports 7 and 8 as well, except that they are limited to video streams up to
270 Mb/s only. It is thus possible to transport up to six HD-SDI streams plus two SD-SDI
streams simultaneously. Each of the HD-SDI input streams can however be substituted for
an SD-SDI stream to transport up to eight SD-SDI streams with a single pair of cards

In combination with other Nevion Flashlink products (SD-TD-MX-4 and SD-TD-DX-4) that
can pack up to four SD-SDI streams into a single HD-SDI stream, it is possible to transport
up to 26 SD-SDI streams over a single 10 Gb/s link. Physically this combination will fit in a
single Flashlink frame at each end of the 10 Gb/s link.

The inputs have built-in error detection and video format detection. For each of the input or
output channels there is also the option to trigger a Multicon Gyda alarm if the current video
format doesn’t match what the operator has indicated as normal.

The SFP+ optical transmitter and receiver module can easily be replaced. If new SFP+
modules bring significant improvements over the current ones, a quick and simple upgrade
path exists.

1.1 Product variants

At present there are no sub-variants of the HD-TD-10GMX-6 / HD-TD-10GDX-6 pair.
Note that although other SFP modules will fit physically, only the Nevion branded dual

SFP+ modules for the HD-TD-10GMX-6 / HD-TD-10GDX-6 will work correctly.

Figure 1: The backplane, HD-TD-10G-C1

The backplane HD-TD-10G-C1 is used for both the mux and the de-mux modules. All
external connections are made via the backplane.

The backplane occupies two slots in the Flashlink frame, and the module will then go in the
rightmost of the two slots.

3 Configuration and control

3.1 In Multicon

The HD-TD-10GMX-6 / HD-TD-10GDX-6 pair is made to be as transparent as possible, and
therefore there are only a few functions that are configurable. Basically, the modules will do
as little as possible to the signals themself, but they will provide error detection and a few
nifty options to raise alarms on unexpected video formats, or to diagnose errors that occur
very infrequently.

As far as the user interface goes, the mux and de-mux modules are very similar. The mux
has a laser and laser on/off setting, whereas the de-mux has a pin-diode receiver without
any settings. Furthermore, the mux can detect more types of errors than the de-mux, but
the de-mux has an extra signal integrity block for the 10G input.

In the following the mux user interface will be used to illustrate the features in question, and
the text will describe any differences between the mux and the de-mux.
