Overview
The Trinix Multiviewer (TMV) is a flexible and configurable multiviewer
solution that has been integrated into the Trinix NXT router. The TMV is for
displaying multiple video images, time, audio activity, and so forth, on dis-
plays located at the customer’s facility.
The TMV board occupies an output slot in a Trinix Routing switcher. The
TMV board takes advantage of the routing switcher's power and cooling
features. However, the router control system considers it an external
device. This simplified approach improves reliability of the system and
saves the cost of an output card, another external frame, and cabling. The
TMV board is hot swappable, which makes board replacement a quick and
easy task with minimal downtime.
Each TMV board can use the standard base-band video formats that are
supported by the Trinix NXT router through 32 input and eight (8) output
connectors. The 32 destinations act as 32 inputs to the TMV board. The dis-
played information can be cascaded to other boards to provide increased
display density on a single display. There is a 1- frame delay when video is
processed but it is processed only one time.
The TMV board performs more processing than a Trinix output board,
which means it requires more power and cooling. There are limitations
when adding the TMV to an existing symmetrical Trinix NXT frame. For
