  • Page 19: Section 1 - Introduction

    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.

  • Page 20: Sd And Hd In The Same Frame

    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 sig- nals. The only difference between SD and HD implementations is the I/ O cards.

  • Page 21: Trinix Architecture

    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 accommo- dates 32 signals, which allows the routers to be built in increments of 32 as well a mixed population of SD and HD cards in increments of 32.

  • Page 22: Broadlinx

    Trinix also offers Broadlinx technology, which aids serviceability by providing status displays and monitoring functions through a network connection.

  • Page 35: Power Supplies

    Trinix Frame 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. The power sup- plies differ primarily in power delivered, size, and weight.

  • Page 36: Cooling System

    Planning Guide Cooling System The Trinix uses fan modules (FM-33000) for cooling the main chamber of the chassis. A fan module consists of two blower-type fans that are housed in a mechanical assembly. The 128 x 128 chassis uses two mod- ules, the 256 x 256 chassis uses three, and the 512 uses six.
  • Page 37 Trinix Frame Airflow openings for the 256 and 512 chassis are shown in Figure 9 Figure 10. Air is taken in from the bottom of the chassis (cut-outs are located on the very bottom of the sides), and from the central area of the left and right sides.

  • Page 38: Sync Reference Options

    For synchronous vertical interval switching the same sync reference signal must be sent to the control system (e.g., Jupiter CM-4000) and to the Trinix. (The Trinix will operate without a sync connection but switching will be non-synchronous.) Each sync input uses looping 75 ohm BNC connectors.

  • Page 39: Signal Flow

    59). Signal Flow Trinix is a “three-board” routing system, where the input board, output board, and matrix board are the basic modules. Shown below is the signal flow through a 128 x 128 routing system. Inputs are received and outputs are delivered to the rear of the chassis directly with a connection to the rear panels (no cabling).

  • Page 40: Analog Processing Control

    M x N (P x Q) This indicates that the functional router size is M x N and is pre-wired to (P x Q). For Trinix pre-wiring is only possible in multiples of 128 x 128, as that is the smallest chassis size increment.

  • Page 41: Alarm System

    Trinix Frame Alarm System There are two Trinix alarm classes: primary and secondary. A sec- ondary alarm is asserted when a single fan has failed or when the sec- ondary NR/SR Broadlinx board has taken control of the system. All other alarms (multiple fan failure, power supply failure, etc.) are con-...

  • Page 43: Duplication And Expansion

    Duplication and Expansion Duplication and Expansion Trinix routers are designed to duplicate/expand inputs and outputs using passive splitter/combiner expansion panels. Note For Jupiter-controlled (0-based) systems, the input/output numbers in the following discussion should be decreased by one (1). For example, block 1-256 should be understood as block 0-255, etc.

    Planning Guide Expanded Systems The PE-33016 and PE-33008 Port Expanders can be used to “combine” outputs for an input expansion application. In Figure 19 Figure a PE-33016 is downstream of the router. The router will present only one of the two possible signals to each combiner, which will produce two copies of that signal.

  • Page 60: Protected Paths

    If an upstream splitter is used, steps must be taken to boost the gain for the appropriate block of inputs (as described in the Trinix manual).
  • Page 61 Protected Paths Figure 32 shows an example of a DV-33512 router with a pair of pro- tected paths.(Depending on system requirements, the upstream splitter may or may not be needed.) The signal detector monitors the primary path and if necessary will disable the primary path output driver and enable the secondary path output driver.

  • Page 62: Planning

    Planning Guide Planning Note The following discussion is based on a “1-based” numbering scheme. If you are using a “zero-based” numbering system, subtract “1” from all instances of input/output numbers. DV-33512 The recommended protected path ranges for DV-33512 routers are as follows: Table 2.
  • Page 63 Protected Paths A more detailed example is shown in Table 4. This table shows a sequential wiring scheme for a system yet to be installed or a system where cables will be re-arranged in a symmetrical pattern in order to simplify protected path configuration.
  • Page 64 Planning Guide DV-33256 Recommended protected path ranges for DV-33256 routers are as fol- lows: Table 6. Primary path Secondary path 1-128 1-128 129-256 129-256 For example, to protect an output in the range 1-128, choose a corre- sponding input in the range 1-128; this will be the primary path. For the secondary (failover) path, choose an output in the range 129-256 and a corresponding input in the range 129-256.

    Operation Notes Operation Notes Jupiter Systems CAUTION For Jupiter-controlled routers, replacing an HO-33120 output board that is part of a protected path scheme will cause a momentary loss of video on the active output. In other words, video will be lost on the board not being replaced.This interruption will continue for several seconds.
