HD-TD-10GX-8 Rev. A

1 Product overview

The Flashlink HD-TD-10GX-8-SFP is an eight-port bidirectional multi-format video
multiplexer. The module features eight video ports, comprising of two fixed inputs, two fixed
outputs and four channels whose directions are individually configured to adopt to changing
requirements.

The eight video ports in this module support all common HD-SDI, SD-SDI and ASI formats.
Optical standards compliance allows for easy interoperability with third party fiber optical
systems.

It is possible to transport up to six video streams in any one direction simultaneously. In
combination with other Nevion Flashlink products (SD-TD-MUX-4 and SD-TD-DMUX-4),
which can pack in four SD-SDI streams into each of the HD-SDI streams, there is a possibility
to transport up to 24 SD-SDI streams over a single 10 Gb/s link. Physically this solution 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 does not 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. See Nevions 10GbE SFP+ range for applicable optical interfaces.

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

1 Connections

The backplane HD-TD-10G-C1 is used for the HD-TD-10GX-8-SFP module. 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.

2 Monitoring

2.1 In Multicon

The Multicon information page shows the status of the modules. In the illustration below, the
mux is transporting one 576/25i channel and the de-mux is receiving one 576/25i channel,
while three input and three output channels are not utilized.

HD-TD-10GX-8 Rev. A

The temperature of the SFP and the FPGA and the voltage of several power rails on each
board are monitored, and can trigger alarms if they fall outside their respective limits. These
limits can be seen in the alarm section of the Configuration page. The alarms themselves are
a feature of Multicon, please refer to the Multicon user manual.

In the graphical representation of the board there are three red crosses representing the mux
inputs and the three red crosses representing the de-mux outputs that have no signal. This
information is also available in the table representation of the board, where input BNC
numbers 2, 5 and 8, and output BNC numbers 4, 6 and 7 indicate “Loss of signal”. The
channels that do have a recognizable video format will indicate the video format present, as
shown for input BNC 1 and output BNC 3. This is also shown in the table part of this
illustration, where the lock bit error is removed and the video format “576/25i” is stated for
these channels. In the event that an unknown format is present, this is indicated as
“Unknown” but still be transported if possible.

The matrix below the graphical representation of the board shows which output signals have
been connected to each of the input signals. This can be set in the configuration settings,
and any combination is possible, meaning one input signal can be routed to many output
channels.

Each channel also has its own error bit indicators. The boxes that have a red background
color indicate an error that is currently detected and counted. A green background will
indicate that the particular error is set to be counted, but that the error is currently not
detected. Errors that are not to be counted (i.e. set to “Ignore'” will be presented as the error
bit name on a gray background color (no example shown here), regardless if the error is
currently detected or not. Error types that are not supported for that particular channel will be
shown as blank boxes with gray backgrounds. Most web browser will expand the boxes that
contain text at the expense of these blank ones, as the example above shows.
