1 Product overview

The Modular SDI Router is part of the VikinX Modular products range, offering up to 128x128
3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SD-SDI X-points.

This top of the line router provides a very compact frame, fully hot-swappable architecture,
built-in dual redundant power supply and fully redundant controller functions.

Starting with the size of 32x32, the router can be expanded under operation with 32x32
increments. Advanced control features like TCP/IP interface and SNMP agent, as well as
comprehensive surveillance of the router’s vital parameters are available via the Multicon
Monitoring and Control system.

The Modular 3G/HD/SD-SDI router provides output reclocking and input (cable) equalization;
all of which can be turned on/off on an individual basis.

As for our well known VikinX compact router series low power consumption has been
important.

VikinX Modular provides a fully hot-swappable architecture, meaning that all components are
front loaded without any active components on the rear panel.

VikinX Modular provides all important 3rd party control interfaces allowing the control of our
routers through 3rd party management software. On top of that the THOR management
package allows control of the most common 3rd party routers. This enables you to utilize
existing routers and management systems from other manufacturers and still draw the
advantages of implementing VikinX Modular in your routing application.

1.1 Main features

 Provides all main features known from VikinX Modular HD/SD routers
 Lowest power consumption available, approx. 275W
 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, DVB-ASI, MADI and AES-3id Audio in one frame
 All active components hot-swappable and front loaded

1.2 Product versions
