Encore Control via NR-33000 Broadlinx board
This control method uses an Ethernet connection to an NR-33000
Sync/NIC/OPM (Broadlinx) board, which in turn is connected to the Apex
via a Crosspoint bus cable. The NR-33000 board may be the same as the one
controlling a Trinix video router; if there is no Trinix router associated with
the Apex, the NR-33000 can be mounted in a separate dedicated chassis.
1. Install the CC-2010 Matrix (Crosspoint bus) cable.
In multi-frame systems, the Crosspoint bus is connected only to the
frame containing the CX-34000 Control Crosspoint board. (There may
be a redundant CX-34000 in that same frame.) Further connectivity is
provided by the InfiniBand and Master Clock cabling discussed on
Expanded (Multi-Chassis) Systems
on page 79 .
Note Other Apex frames in a multi-frame system do not require (and should not
have) CX-34000 boards installed.
The CC-2010 is a 10-conductor (plus ground) cable. Ready-made cables,
with installed 15-pin D male connectors, are available from Thomson
Grass Valley; see Ordering Information
on page 65 .
Note The Crosspoint bus must be terminated at the point farthest from the
NR-33000 using a Crosspoint Bus Terminator, part number 01-053050-001.
This terminator is supplied with Trinix routers.
2. LAN connections are shown in Figure 51 on page 110 .
LAN cable requirements: LAN connections use a standard 10/100BaseT
twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors (Cat 5E Enhanced is recom-
mended). Shielded cable is also recommended, maximum length 60
meters.

Maximum length for unshielded cable is 100 meters.
1. Compliance with EEC, EMC, EN series, UL- 1950, and CSA C22.2 No. 950-M89 standards requires use of a shielded cable.
