Section Introduction General The Trinix family of routing switchers represents a revolutionary new approach to digital signal distribution that builds on the success of Venus--the best selling routing switcher ever. Trinix is a high-quality and fully featured digital video routing switcher offering a large number of crosspoints in one of the smallest physical frames available.
Section 1 — Introduction SD and HD in the same frame Trinix supports both SD and HD video in all configurations. The matrix cards and high-speed backplane are designed for both SD and HD signals. The only difference between SD and HD implementations is the I/O cards. This makes upgrading easy on both budgets and implementation, thus solving the problem of deciding when to prepare for HD in a facility.
Trinix architecture The architecture of the Trinix signal flow is organized into three cards: input card, matrix card, and output card. These are connected to a passive backplane circuit card. Each input and output card accommodates 32 signals, which allows the routers to be built in increments of 32 as well a mixed population of SD and HD cards in incre- ments of 32.
Finally, the history behind Trinix is superb. The same design team that has delivered four previous video switcher designs designed Trinix. Trinix is part of the Thomson routing family of products including Venus, the most successful routing switcher ever.
Additionally, the Broadlinx board will be used to integrate the Grass Valley Encore control system with the Trinix. For additional information regarding the Broadlinx development schedule, please contact your Thomson representative. Chassis Trinix routers are available in three fixed frame sizes: •...

Section 2 — Planning Guide Power supplies Two power supply types are used in the Trinix routing family, one type for the 128 chassis and another for the 256 and 512 chassis. Both types, which share the same feature set, are OEM products with a track record of outstanding reliability. The power supplies differ primarily in power delivered, size, and weight.
Chassis Two sync inputs are standard for each Trinix configuration. Using the two sync inputs independently allows SD and HD switching in the same frame. Adding a second SR/NR-33000 board as an option provides two more sync inputs. With the DV-33512 chassis, a SR-33500 Sync/OPM board can be used to provide four sync inputs.
Chassis The CB 3000 is described in detail in the Jupiter Installation and Operating manual. In Trinix applications, the crosspoint bus must be terminated at the point farthest from the control processor using a Crosspoint Bus Terminator, part number 01- 053050-001.

Section 2 — Planning Guide Dual output systems The PE-33016 Port Expander can be used to provide dual outputs in groups of 16 out- puts. All outputs are non-inverting. For example, a 128 x 128 switcher could be arranged as follows: 128 inputs with 112 single outputs and 16 dual outputs - uses 1 PE-33016 128 inputs with 96 single outputs and 32 dual outputs - uses 2 PE-33016s 128 inputs with 80 single outputs and 48 dual outputs - uses 3 PE-33016s...

Section 2 — Planning Guide Ordering information Trinix routing systems are ordered as a base configuration, plus options. The following pages show the part numbers for ordering the base systems. The base systems are grouped together by chassis size: 128, 256 or 512. Also they are partitioned into SD and HD systems.

Section 2 — Planning Guide Input boards SI-33110 F7-026000-012 The SI-33110 is a 32-input board supporting data rates of 3 to 540 Mbps with input equalization of 300 m for Belden 8281 or equivalent cable. A “gain cell” is included on this board to be used in conjunction with the port expanders in order to create multi-chassis routers.
Ordering information The DM-33500, a 256 x 256 matrix board used in the Trinix 512 chassis, features a low power, compact, highly reliable design. This module consists of two circuit boards interconnected, each with a 256 x 128 matrix function. The matrix board uses redun- dant power-conditioning circuitry and 144 x 144 crosspoint ICs (used as 128 x 128) each with its own control circuit.
16 of these modules to give 128 to 512 BNC connections. All unused connectors must be terminated with 75 ohm BNC terminators (not supplied by Thomson). Although a DV-33512 chassis may include SR-33000 and NR-33000 boards (each with two sync inputs), and an SR-33500 board (with four sync inputs), the maximum number of usable sync inputs for any Trinix chassis remains four.
Ordering information PE- 33016 F7-026000-026 The PE-33016 is a expander module that has 32 connectors on one side and 32 on the other. This unit is bi-directional and can be used as a 2 to 1 combiner (with dual out- puts) or a 1 to 2 splitter.
1. Before unpacking the equipment, inspect the shipping carton for evidence of freight damage. After unpacking carefully inspect all equipment for freight damage. If the contents have been damaged, notify the carrier and Thomson (see page 9 for contact information). Retain all shipping cartons and padding material for inspection by the carrier.

Summary of installation procedure 9. Connect the appropriate house reference signal(s). DV-33128 and DV-33256 switchers can be equipped with an BL-33000 Broad- linx option (NR-33000 NIC/Sync/OPM board plus software) or an SR-33000 Sync Reference / Output Monitor (OPM) board. The SR-33000 is similar in functionality to the NR-33000 but does not provide network connectivity for status monitoring via BroadLinx software.

Section 3 — Installation Input (IN) expansion and output (OP) expansion Trinix routers are designed to expand inputs and outputs using passive splitter/com- biner expansion panels. Whenever an expansion panel is connected, signal gain must be increased from 800 mV to 1.6 V to compensate for the added circuitry. 1.
Page 71
Input (IN) expansion and output (OP) expansion 3. Output expansion requires input splitters and input gain adjustment. See Figure 29 for an example. The gain increase is accomplished by closing the rear- panel Output Expand DIP switch. This will provide the proper gain increase for all input boards in the chassis (unless overridden by on-board jumpers, as described below).

Hardware installation Firmware management Figure 56. The firmware used in the Trinix system consists of a collection of programs operating within the various PC boards. These programs are identified either by a sub-level revi- sion number from 1 to 255 or by a date. Since these programs must be compatible with each other, they are managed as a package with a top-level revision number.

Section 4 — Broadlinx Each Trinix circuit board typically has a program active in one or more FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) ICs and another program active in a microcontroller IC. The FPGA controls the board’s switcher functions, while the microcontroller allows Broadlinx communication to and from the FPGA and other board components.

Hardware installation Uploading New Software 1. The new software package (usually a file with the extension “.ar”) should be copied to the PC having a Broadlinx connection to the router. 2. At the Firmware Management menu, select “Upload.” 3. Browse to the new software file and initiate the upload. Note Do not click on the “Upload”...
