Advanced Optical Transport Platform
ATP Functional Block Diagram
With years of experience in fiber optics, TDM multiplexing, SONET/SDH, IP transport,
signal processing and Switch Fabrics, Evertz
® now introduces the next generation in
multi-service platforms. The ATP leverages Evertz ® expertise and takes these proven
technologies to new levels, providing an infinitely flexible, fault-tolerant transport platform
consisting of the following:
1) Signal Interfaces provide input and output connections for user video, audio, datacom
and telecom signals, providing multi-port signal aggregation to optimize footprint
density. Signal standard, bandwidth, and bit errors are monitored with information
available for remote monitoring via Evertz
® VistaLINK ® PRO SNMP management
software.
2) Trunk Interfaces connect to the switch fabric and encapsulate signals for transport
on SONET/SDH, IP or dedicated fiber/WDM networks. Any of the Trunk Interfaces
available may be deployed on the network, greatly simplifying network planning and
allowing full utilization of various network types.
3) The Switch Fabric lies between the Signal and Trunk Interface modules and forms
the heart of an ATP node. The Switch Fabric employs a completely non-blocking
architecture to route signals between the user and the network providing full ADD,
DROP and PASS functionality at any node on the network. This gives ATP the ability
to support any conceivable unicast, multicast or broadcast signal requirement. For
applications where the number of Signal Interface and/or Trunk Interface connections
grows to exceed the capacity of the Switch Fabric, additional Switch Fabric modules can
be added for easy scalability.
4) Signal Processing & Conversion modules can be accommodated in the ATP chassis.
Any 7700/7800 series module can be inserted to harness the capabilities of Evertz
®
vast product line, providing nearly unlimited additional functionality for outgoing or
incoming signals, all in one platform. Sample processing/conversion functions include:

The most advanced, scalable and flexible media transport platform for professional video, audio and datacom
signal transport applications. A sophisticated Switch Fabric allows for unicast, multicast and broadcast signal
distribution over existing SONET/SDH or IP networks. The platform itself may also comprise the network
elements by direct connection over dedicated fiber or WDM systems. Integration with Evertz
® full 7700/7800
series product line provides comprehensive signal processing and conversion capabilities - all in one extremely
versatile platform.
