2.3 Mains Power Supplies The Vega 30 Router chassis has two DC power connectors, for up to two separate external Vega 30 power supply modules; these modules each have an IEC mains power socket.
2.3.1 Supplied Power Cords The external Vega 30 power supply modules are each shipped with a power cord with a standard molded IEC female socket on one end and a standard mains plug on the other.
Vega 30 Router User Manual EMC Standards Safety 2.6 2.6.1 EMC Environment The product(s) described in this manual conform to the EMC requirements for, and are intended for use in: The controlled EMC environment (for example purpose-built broadcasting or recording studios), and the rural outdoor environment (far away from railways, transmitters, overhead power lines, etc.) E4.
Product Overview Product Overview The Vega 30 is part of the Vega 10 Series; it offers compact, powerful video and audio routing with simple installation and switching. Line-synchronized and clean-quiet-switching outputs give smooth program transitions. It suits simple video-only applications through to complex live TV production.
Vega 30 Router User Manual Vega 30 Features and Benefits Product Overview 3.1 3.1 Vega 30 Features and Benefits • 3RU, shallow-depth. • Light-weight. • Dual Redundant PSU. • Simple Video and Audio Routing: • Up to 34 x 34, fixed video routing.
Vega 30 Router Order Codes 3.3 Options The basic Vega 30 Router is a 34x34 SDI video-only router with timed-switching. It routes video and embedded audio. Licensable options are available to add audio routing and add processing on outputs. See Table 2.
Product Overview 3.4 3.4 Architecture and Signal Flow 3.4.1 Vega 30 Inputs and Outputs The Vega 30 Router is powered by one or two separate Vega 30 power supply modules. The router simply requires: • An analog reference signal for SMPTE RP-168-2009 compliant switching.
Architecture and Signal Flow Product Overview 3.4 3.4.2 Functional Description Figure 3 shows a block diagram of the Vega 30. Figure 3 Vega 30 Router Functional Block Diagram Video Crosspoint Switch - Fixed-size routing matrix. Routes video inputs to one or more outputs of the Video Crosspoint Switch,.
3.4.3 Video Reference The Vega 30 Router auto-detects a bi-level or tri-level analogue reference sync signal and reports the video standard. The Vega 30 Router has one video reference input. There is a reference loop-through output and a selectable termination to 75R.
Product Overview 3.5 3.5 Routing Architecture The Vega 30 Router basically routes sources to destinations. The Vega 30 Router contains a video crosspoint switch and an audio crosspoint switch, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 Vega 30 Routing Architecture The routing is carried out in a video crosspoint switch and an audio crosspoint switch.
This operational routing is sometimes called ‘routing by association’; it controls both the video and audio crosspoints together in unison. Operational routing can be done via the Vega 30 unit’s Web interface, from RollCall Control Panel and via other control interfaces.
Vega 30 Router User Manual Routing Architecture Product Overview 3.5 3.5.2 Video Crosspoint (34 x 34) The video crosspoint switch routes video and embedded audio together. A video source or destination comprises one video with up to 16 embedded audio channels.
Audio re-mux channels: These are audio channels to be re-embedded into the routed video signals to form the Vega 30 Video output. Each output has 16 embedded audio channels. Figure 8 shows the routing architecture with audio channel source and destination numbers annotated onto the audio crosspoint.
Embedded Audio to Audio Crosspoint Audio channel source numbers Figure 8 Vega 30 Audio Routing Diagram 3.5.4 Source and destination numbers The audio source and destination numbers in Figure 8 are fixed and refer to precise ports on the audio crosspoint.
Product Overview 3.5 3.5.5 ‘Follow Video’ Audio Channel Sources In the compact Vega 30 Router architecture, the audio crosspoint is located after the video crosspoint. The result of this is that the audio signals present in the de-muxed audio channels (i.e.
