VikinX Routers Since its introduction in 1996, the VikinX Compact range has dominated the marketplace through its simplicity, reliability and affordability. Today the product is one of the most deployed routing switchers in the world.

Reliability The range was followed by VikinX Modular, a range of modular routing products that has been built with reliability and affordability as the most important design criteria. The reliability of the router, due to fully redundant control architecture and extremely low power consumption are the major reasons why the VikinX Modular product can be found in the most mission critical applications.

Unmatched flexibility Another reason is the unmatched flexibility of the VikinX Modular control system, offering control features far beyond other comparable routing systems. As the only system available with full TCP/IP interconnectivity, VikinX Modular reduces the capital expenses necessary to install the system down to a minimum. Reliability through design simplicity as well as easy to operate user interfaces keep the operational expenses at a low level, thus resulting in low cost of ownership. When adding the 256x256 VikinX Modular in 2006, the line of modular routing products offers a wide range of different frame sizes and signal formats covered.

VikinX Sublime At NAB 2006 we added VikinX Sublime to the VikinX range of routers, marking a new era in

small and medium sized routing. The VikinX Sublime range offers the broadcast market the most extensive range of matrix sizes available (8x8 to 64x64 and 128x2) and covers signal formats from analog video/audio to HDTV also incorporating 1080p 3Gbps Single Link HD. In addition, VikinX Sublime provides many of the powerful control features that drove the VikinX Modular range to success. VikinX Sublime offers flexible routing solutions for general purpose facilities and on-air routing as well as mobile outside broadcast applications and sophisticated A/V applications.

Simplicity Rules Network Electronicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; slogan applies also to the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s software tools developed to eliminate the obstacles installers and operators face when setting-up and configuring complex routing solutions. One of the latest examples for easy-to-use software is the VikinX System Configurator that accommodates wizards and convenient drag & drop menus comfortably guiding the operator through the installation process. Together with Network Electronicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proven routing hardware, the control system with all its control panel options and software features provides probably the most comprehensive and reliable routing switcher products in the business.

VIKINX MODULAR

1.2 Modular Frames

Widest range of signal formats

TCP/IP Interconnectivity

Network Electronics’ VikinX family of modular routers accommodates the widest range of signal formats, including HD-SDI, SD-SDI, analogue audio, AES/EBU audio and telecom. Most of these signals can all be mixed in the same frame.

All VikinX Modular devices provide TCP/IP interconnectivity, an ideal way of operating a routing system from remote sites, independent of whether those are within a campus or on another continent.

Independent of signal format, all components are front loaded and hot-swappable. VikinX Modular allows configurations up to 256 x 256 with increments of 32 x 32.

Bridge Line Concept With the 256x256 VikinX Modular router Network Electronics introduces the Bridge Line Concept providing a 16 signal wide bus, allowing to route any signal in the router through Flashlink signal processing and fibreoptic devices that can be placed in dedicated slots in the router. Bridge-lines make it possible to internally switch line or frame-synchronisers, A/D and D/A converters or fibreoptical interfaces into the signal path, thus enabling signal error suppression, domain conversion, fibreoptical conversion and trunking.

Vikinx System Configurator Each control panel has its own database containing configuration files for the Software Configurable Keys. New configurations can easily be made using the VikinX System Configurator software tool. With the Expandable Panel Concept, allowing grouping of several panels into one logical control unit and the Customised Surface Design, giving unlimited possibilities in designing user surfaces, the VikinX Modular range of control panels provides one of the most sophisticated router control systems available. All routers can be controlled remotely through PCs, other manufacturers control equipment or Network’s own THOR Windows-based software. New features are continuously added to make the use of the system even more simple and comfortable. The steadily growing number of third party interfaces allows installation of VikinX Modular routers in existing third party systems. Those systems can also be controlled from a VikinX Modular control system including the THOR Windows software in order to obtain all advantages provided by the Network Electronics router control system.

Frame sizes The VikinX Modular series comes in three frames sizes. Physical Dimensions 483w x 400h x 340d (19”, 9RU)

The 5RU series (S) is for routers where space is at a premium and a maximum of 64x64 cross points is needed. Everything is the same for the 9RU (M) series except it has space for up to 128x128 cross points. The 21RU (L) series still uses the same building blocks and provides 256x256 cross points.

Physical Dimensions 483w x 220h x 340d (19”, 5RU)

VIKINX CONTROL

1.3 Modular Control and Monitoring

Along with the broad range of VikinX routing switchers, Network Electronics provides numerous possibilities to either direct or remote control all switching devices. From simple single bus and X-Y control panels for smaller applications to advanced IP control panels, SNMP control and web client for highly flexible large router applications, there is always a control set-up that fits the needs of your application.

Router Controller With the VikinX Modular router controller SYSCON we have taken system security onto new heights. Through our fully redundant control architecture, from the independent control ports on the router to the crosspoint switch controller, we can offer the highest reliability possible in a routing system. The SYSCON control system completely avoids single points of failure, like changeovers, centralized main controllers or similar. SYSCON retains the system database in an easy removable Compact Flash card. SYSCON provides both serial and Ethernet/IP interfaces. The IP interconnectivity allows operating a routing system from remote sites, independent of whether those are within a campus or on another continent. Our intelligent IP control panels automatically obtain the IP address of the redundant SYSCON in case there is an error on the main controller.

SNMP control With the GYDA-VX monitoring and control device we are offering signal diagnostics on a user friendly web interface as well as SNMP control, allowing our routers to be controlled by a Network Management System.

30 | network-electronics.com

Intelligent panels Intelligent panels accommodate features and user interface flexibility that typically require a huge selection of different products. With the VikinX panels you can create an unlimited number of different user interfaces exactly fitting your operational requirements. Each control panel has Software Configurable Keys allowing simple operation like Single Bus or X-Y, but also complex Multi-Level / Multi-Crosspoint operations. The Expandable Panel Concept allows grouping of several panels into one logical control unit. Customised Surface Design is giving unlimited freedom in designing button layouts.

System Configurator Software New panel configurations can easily be made using the VikinX System Configurator software tool, developed to eliminate the obstacles installers and operators face when setting-up and configuring complex routing solutions. The VikinX System Configurator accommodates wizards and convenient drag & drop menus comfortably guiding the operator through the installation process.

For direct control of the VikinX compact routers, Network Electronics has developed a flexible and expandable range of compact panels. For the VikinX modular routers, Network offers a range of IPbased control panels that allows the use of standard Ethernet LAN. To further allow for flexibility, the ETH-CON enables compact routers and control panels to interconnect with the modular control system. Thus the modular control panels can be used to control compact routers and the advanced features of the modular control system are made available for compact routers. The SysCon cards contain the configuration database for the modular routers

and optionally for the panels on an easily replaced Compact Flash card. GYDA-128 gives the modular routing line a comprehensive alarming/surveillance and SNMP control. GYDA-128 is available both as single controller and dual redundant controller. The THOR router management system is a Windowsbased router control system for the VikinX compact and modular router series. THOR offers a wide and modular range of features that provides complete control and multiple configuration options.

One Flashlink card + One in-line power supply + One N-Box = Flashlink Micro

Flashlink Micro, your ideal choice for desktop applications – High performance video/audio processing and fibre optics made simple Modules for desktop and stand alone applications have until now been associated with mediumlow to medium-high performance with little or no reconfiguration possibilities. Well, those days are gone.

• Under the table mounting • Angled wall-, on-table- and under-the-tablemounting • Stacking of Flashlink Micro modules

Interchangeable modules

The comprehensive Flashlink Micro range covers a wide variety of functions: • Audio and Video conversion, processing and synchronisation • Distribution amplifiers • Fibre conversion of SDI and HD-SDI signals • Embedding/de-embedding • Datacom Interfaces • Automatic changeover modules for redundancy

– Initial cost savings combined with a future proof upgrade path With Flashlink Micro, Network Electronics introduces the industry standard Flashlink modules fitted in a compact and cost-effective housing for stand alone applications. As regular Flashlink modules are used in the Flashlink Micro series it is no longer a trade off between form factor and module performance, the best of both worlds can finally be realised with Flashlink Micro.

Minimum setup time Flashlink Micro comes with an in-line brick power supply (redundant power optional, brick or rackmount) so all you need is to connect signal- and power cables and the self-contained box is up and running with full broadcast quality in no time.

Maximum functionality

Low power consumption All Flashlink Micro modules are designed with low power consumption in mind.

Ruggedised enclosure design The combination of high reliability design philosophy and the ruggedised enclosure design, means you can enjoy Flashlink Micro for many years.

Monitoring and configuration

Future proof upgrade path

Control features like on board status LED’s and GPI interface as well as RS-422 interface for GYDA control is standard on all modules. Re-configuration of the module is easily done with DIP-switches on the module itself or via the GYDA system controller for Flashlink.

Since the boards and back planes of Flashlink Micro are the same as in the Flashlink 2RU modular frame holding up to 10 modules, the roadmap to future system expansion is crystal clear and straight forward. Interchangeable boards means that all modules in Flashlink Micro automatically are compliant with relevant broadcast standards, as is the case for the Flashlink 2RU modular system.

Flexible mounting Various mounting options are available for increased mounting flexibility: • 1RU Tray for 4 Flashlink Micro modules • Wall mounting • On table mounting

2.3

Flashlink 2RU Frame – Compact and comprehensive

After six years on the market, we decided to give the Flashlink FR-2RU-10-2 frame a face lift and some mechanical improvements to meet the demands from outside broadcast applications. The following changes have been done: • Enhanced high tech/high quality profile to match the module performance • Marking area inside and outside for all modules • Improved, rugged detach and lock mechanism giving improved shock and vibration resistance for outside broadcast applications. The rest of the Flashlink FR-2RU-10-2 frame is exactly as you would expect from a state-of-the-art modular system: Compact – only 2RU. Saves rack space like nothing else.

10 module slots • Mix and match modules according to your needs • All cabling at the rear • A fully functioning 16-channel CWDM system in only 2RU with dual converters

Easy configuration • Short time to get on air

No fans • Low power consumption means that we have removed the most common single point of failure; the fans

Two power supply slots • Single or redundant, load sharing power supply, AC, DC or both

No active components on backplane • Hot-swapping of modules and power supplies accessible from front means short replacement time • No re-cabling needed for module replacement/ re-configuration • No electrical disturbance on other modules during hot-swapping, particularly important in on air situations

Comprehensive control and monitoring • Status monitoring through front LED’s, GPI and RS-422 simultaneously • Address setting of each frame allows for simultaneous control of 8 frames • SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol support for use with larger Network Management Systems is standard on all modules • GYDA System Controller provides web interface/ SNMP for all modules connected to the controller at a remote location • Remote configuration and monitoring saves time and trouble-shooting time

2.4 Flashlink Modules

Flashlink modules – Comprehensive functionality with short installation time

The Flashlink range was introduced as a price competitive high performance product line in 1999. From the very beginning Flashlink gained an impressive track record, both in number of awards but even more important in number of installations and returning customers. A large and growing number of customers world-wide have now standardised on the Flashlink system.

Different housings fit any application Each Flashlink module consists of a passive backplane and a front loaded processing board containing all active components. The Flashlink modules can be fitted in different housings depending on the application: • Flashlink FR-2RU-10-2 main frame for studio applications. 2RU frame for 10 modules, saves rack space • N-BOX for stand alone applications (See Flashlink Micro for bundled stand alone solutions) • MOT-BOX, holds one FR-2RU-10-2 frame for mobile applications

Monitoring and configuration Control features like on board status LED’s and GPI interface as well as RS-422 interface for GYDA control is standard on all modules. All modules have Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support as a standard feature. This is particularly useful for larger systems distributed on multiple sites. Re-configuration of the module is easily done with DIP-switches on the module itself or via the GYDA system controller for Flashlink.

94 | network-electronics.com

Hot swappable modules All modules in the Flashlink range can be swapped without disconnecting the power supplies. For on-air applications this is particularly useful, and it goes without saying that swapping modules will not interfere with signals running on other modules.

Only passive electronics on backplanes All active electronics is placed on the processing board, leaving the backplane with only passive components that will not fail. This means that no cable disconnection is needed for a module replacement. Hot swapping is done from the front of the rack in just a very few seconds.

Dual redundant power supplies (optional) The Flashlink FR-2RU-10-2 has room for two power supplies, and is delivered with a single power supply operating on either AC or DC as standard. Adding the optional second power supply gives power supply redundancy. The power supplies have separate inputs paths and can be fed from different sources giving maximum redundancy. Both autosensing AC and DC power supplies are available.

Low power consumption – no fans needed All Flashlink modules are designed with low power consumption in mind. The low power-high reliability design of Flashlink means that we have removed all fans from the system, thereby removing the component most likely to fail in a system. No fans means that the operator will have less noise in his/her working environment.

SIGNAL TRANSPORT, PROCESSING AND DISTRIBUTION

Flashlink Modules

High performance modules with advanced functionality Short installation time and simple to use. The Flashlink design philosophy states that modules shall be easy to use and setup time shall be kept at a minimum. This shortens time to get on-air dramatically.

Standards compliance All modules in the Flashlink range comply with relevant industry standards. During the design phase of any Flashlink module we always investigate which standards apply. Standards compliance is a very important product feature as it ensures interoperability with 3rd party products complying with the same standards, as well as being a reference for performance measurements of the product.

Remote monitoring and control Use internet technology to connect remote sites together, enabling complete control of all your flashlink equipment from all locations. Sending technicians to remote locations for error tracing becomes a thing of the past. Error correction is faster, saving money and providing better availability to the end user.

Online monitoring GYDA will continuously monitor the system for all vital parameters, like signal quality and power supply voltages. The web page is always updated with the latest information.

Configuration All cards can be configured through GYDA. Some cards have complex set-up which is made easy with GYDA.

Alarms GYDA has advanced alarm handling, where an operator can get a “system health condition” report. The alarms are “sticky”, they will not be removed from the alarm list until they are acknowledged by an operator. An alarm can be acknowledged while it still is active, it will then be removed automatically from the alarm list, the moment the cause of the alarm is resolved. Example of alarms: • Card removed • Signal lost • Laser failed • Supply voltage dropped • GPI input

GYDA and SNMP applications All Flashlink modules will generate SNMP traps according to user settings in the interface configuration section on the GYDA System Controller. GYDA MkII is also able to interface and control cross point settings of the VikinX Compact routers, providing cross point information via SNMP or the web interface. This feature gives you the possibility to have: • Audible alarms • Alarm notification on e-mail • Browser pop-upon module pages with alarms • Trap relay

Logging The logging facility gives the user a system history with date and time of each event. The log will be stored on the flash crad, and can not be cleared without a reset, making it ideal for error tracing «a posteriori». Availability and Password protection In the default setup, GYDA is available to all users on the network. GYDA allows anonymous/open access to the card information. Two extra levels of protection (observer and operator) can be enabled for situations where anonymous access to the system, alarm and log tabs is not wanted. The built-in password protection uses the htpasswd mechanism of the Apache web-server. Manuals and technical documentation are always available The GYDA controller has a complete collection of all flashlink manuals in Adobe PDF format, always available to the operator.

The SDI-TR-D15xx is a multi bit-rate converter and transponder module providing high performance media conversion for various signal formats from 19.4Mbps up to 622Mbps. The unit can be configured as an Electrical to Optical or Optical to Electrical converter, or as an Optical to Optical Transponder. This state of the art unit offers a high sensitivity PIN diode and narrowband ultrastabilised DWDM laser technology or CWDM laser. Unmatched signal accuracy, even in critical applications with pathological signal patterns makes the SDI-TR-D15xx the first choice for all optical transport demands. The flashlink DWDM system uses only wavelengths in accordance with the ITU-T G.694.1 recommendation. If the module is to be used together with existing third party DWDM systems the exact wavelength needs to be specified. The SDI-TR-D15xx can transport all SD signal formats in addition to DVB-ASI and SMPTE 310. In addition it performs optical

refreshing, reclocking and wavelength swapping for a DWDM or CWDM wavelength for SDH/SONET up to 622Mbps. The input sensitivity is typically better than –30dBm. This will allow for a range of 80km, with a 16 channel DWDM system, using high quality Single Mode fibre at 270Mbps. The optical output comes with a sophisticated 1550nm DFB DWDM or CWDM laser covering the demands of short, medium and long haul applications. The open system platform of Network Electronics DWDM and CWDM multiplexing technology allows easy interoperability with third party fibre optical systems. The electrical input is equipped with a multi rate cable equaliser providing an equalisation of typically 300m of high quality coax cable at 270Mbps. A distribution amplifier with 2 outputs reduces the need for additional DA’s (for DVB-ASI only one can be used).

The MR-TR is a multi bit-rate converter and transponder module providing high performance media conversion for various broadcast signals from 19.4Mbps up to 1485Mbps. The unit can be configured as an Electrical to Optical or Optical to Electrical converter, or as an Optical to Optical Transponder. This state of the art unit offers a high performance optics. Unmatched signal accuracy, even in critical applications with pathological signal patterns makes the MR-TR the first choice for all optical transport demands. The MR-TR can transport all HD and SD signal formats in addition to DVB-ASI and SMPTE 310. In addition it performs optical refreshing, reclocking and wavelength swapping for SDH/SONET signals at 155Mbps and 1485Mbps.

The input sensitivity is typically better than –20dBm. This will allow for a range of 50km, with a 16-channel DWDM system using high quality Single Mode fibre at 1485Mbps. The optical output is equipped with a Fabry-Perot laser diode for 1310nm. The open system platform of Network Electronics’ flashlink system allows easy interoperability with third party fibre optical systems. The electrical input is equipped with a multi rate cable equaliser providing an equalisation of typically 100m of high quality coax cable at 1485Mbps. A distribution amplifier with 2 outputs reduces the need for additional DAs (for DVB-ASI only one can be used).

Optical Optical wavelength

The drawing shows how the optical signal from a 0dBm SDI-EO module can be distributed to many end users through a tapped linear bus architecture using different types of wideband optical couplers. The drawing does not include fibre attenuation, which must be added. In order to optimise the transmission budgets a combination of different split ratios should be used. If the distances from the wideband optical coupler to the receivers are approximately the same, a split ratio of 50-50 is preferred. If the distance to one of the receiver is much shorter than the other, either a split ratio of 90-10 or 95-05 can be used dependent on the available optical budget. As a rule of thumb, a margin of 3dB in the budget is recommended in case of future degradation of the optical link. Regeneration of the signal may be done by utilising an O/E and E/O (O-E-O) conversion, hence allowing for further drop points and/or longer distances. See also p. 90 for 3R Regeneration.

2.5 Optical Multiplexing

CWDM systems can be built with 8 channels pr frame (up to 16 ch.), or with 16 channels in one frame (requires dual optical converters for SD/HD). Systems incorporating DWDM are based on the 4+1 architecture that has 4 channels per frame + 1 upgrade port, thereby enabling easy and cost efficient upgrade of capacity on the fibre as the demand grows. Optical multiplexers are available for systems with a wavelength count higher than 16.

To ensure maximum interoperability, the wavelengths used in both the CWDM as well as the DWDM systems are selected according to the standards ITU-T G.694.1 for DWDM and ITU-T G.694.2 for CWDM.

Since some of the CWDM wavelengths overlap the DWDM wavelengths, systems using DWDM technology over CWDM infrastructure can be built. Optical multiplexing is format and protocol independent, so a mixture of different signals on the different wavelengths is straightforward.

Fiber attenuation

By using the all-optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technique, simultaneous transport of multiple signals on the same fibre is possible. A standard 2-channel WDM solution enables transmission of two independent signals on the same fibre. Both uni-directional and bi-directional configurations are possible, as the direction of any channel can be chosen to suit the transport needs.

The DWDM system is based on 4+1 architecture consisting of 4 channels per frame + 1 upgrade port per frame, hence the name 4+1 architecture. This architecture enables easy addition of more services on the same fibre by adding more wavelengths without interruption of existing services on the optical fibre. The inherent modularity and scalability of the 4+1 architecture as opposed to a fixed 4 or 8-channel system, creates a system that can be scaled to fit the demand for bandwidth for many years to come. The upgrade port adds additional flexibility in design of optical links. Smart and cost-effective networks can be built by utilising the upgrade port to e.g. bypass traffic through a node and onto the final destination without the need to demultiplex and multiplex the signals at each node.

This CWDM system is based on frames containing 8 channels each. 1 upgrade port for easy addition of more channels at a later stage. The wavelengths of FR-2RU-CWDM 1-8 and 9-16 are fixed, and are chosen according to the ITU-T G.694.2 standard in order to ensure maximum interoperability. The optical filtering is mounted permanently within the frames. The wavelengths of the signal cards must correspond to the wavelengths of the optical filters, whereas the signal formats running on those wavelengths can be chosen to suit the signal transport needs. A 16-channel CWDM system consists of two frames, one frame at each end of the fibre. Both FR-2RU-CWDM 1-8 and 9-16 are 2RU frames with a single AC power supply, a dedicated slot for redundant power supply (AC or DC), RS-422 control, as well as the optical filtering needed, the different signal cards (transmitters and receivers) for each of the 16 wavelengths must be ordered separately.

The flagship of the optical transport platform is the 32-channel DWDM-system, allowing for up to 32 signals on a single strand of optical fibre. Based on the standardised ITU-T G.694.1 channel spacing grid of 100GHz within the C-band, the 32-channel DWDM system has the same flexibility in signal formats and bit-rates as the 16-channel system using a channel spacing grid of 200GHz. The optical filtering is placed in a separate 2RUframe doing all the filtering needed to multiplex or demultiplex the channels involved. The filtering is always sold as a corresponding pair of two frames, one for each end of the fibre. This is due to the fact that the filters are designed as a pair in order to optimise the optical characteristics of the filters and minimise insertion loss. The direction of any channel can be reversed so the system allows for maximum flexibility while designing your optical networks. Please contact our technical system sales team to design the best solution for your needs. A 40-channel DWDM can be delivered on request.

3R Regeneration â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Reamplification, Reshaping and Reclocking

For long haul application the 3R-2RU-DWDM can provide 3R regeneration of optical signals, thereby working as a repeater station doing the optical to electrical to optical conversion of multiple signals. The signals supported will depend on the module doing the electrical signal processing. The compact 2RU chassis provides 3R regeneration for the same set of 4 DWDM channels as the corresponding frame of the FR-2RU-DWDM series, thereby reducing the amount of space from 4RU to 2RU at the regeneration points. This repeater frame is particularly useful for transport of bi-directional signals as well as being an alternative to Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifiers (EDFAs) for low channelcounts. It is available for DWDM channels 1-16. An EDFA provides optical reamplification (1R regeneration) for uni-directional signals, for bidirectional signals one (or more depending on the distance) EDFA is needed per direction. The 2RU frame consist of the following parts: 1 4-channel optical demultiplexer 1-4 MR-TR-D15xx.xx, MR-TR-2.5G or SDI-TR-D15xx.xx configured 1 4-channel optical multiplexer

IP Gateways

2.5 SDI-IP-GTW

SDI TO IP GATEWAY The world market is going through a major change the way in which video content is moved around. The new way is by using the Internet Protocol (IP) over Telco networks, a technology currently deployed on the Internet and in corporate networks. The scalable and cost-effective IP networks offer an inherent flexibility of bandwidth: 10Mbit/s, 100Mbit/s, 1Gbit/s and 10 Gbit/s. This technology enables new applications and opportunities, for instance low delay uncompressed video on SDI using 270Mbit/s, MPEG-2 bandwidths of 1-50 Mbit/s, MPEG-4 part10 (H.264/AVC)

SDI to IP Gateway The award winning IPTV gateway (SDI-IP-GTW) solution allows real time transport of uncompressed SDI digital video via IP over Wide Area Networks (WAN) where access to dark fibre or wavelengths is limited. Like other products in the Flashlink family, the SDI-IP-GTW provides uncompromising video quality with no signal degradation. An advanced forward error correction mechanism in accordance with Pro-MPEG Code-of-Practice #4 guarantees high quality of service.
