Hardware Installation
Overview
The Trinix Multiviewer (TMV) boards are installed inside a Trinix NXT
router frame in a similar manner as a standard Trinix NXT output card;
however, the TMV boards use a different rear panel. TMV boards are
installed from the front of the router and are locked into place to prevent
the boards from becoming loose if they are installed in a production truck.
The TMV board is hot swappable to provide quick and easy replacement
with minimal downtime. The TMV board supports 32 inputs and 8 outputs
and is capable of utilizing all the standard base-band video formats that are
supported by the Trinix NXT router.
Each TMV board has four video processors that can support up to eight
monitor video inputs. Each video processor manages eight video inputs.
These video inputs are managed by the configuration editor to create your
preferred display.
Outputs on the TMV card can be wired as inputs to the Trinix. Monitors can
be wired as outputs from the Trinix. Wiring a system in this manner will
allow for routing any TMV output to any monitor. A 1694a cable must be
used. This cable must be no less than 10 Meters (32.8 Feet) for re-entering
the routing switcher.
Supported Number of Boards per Router Frame
The TMV board performs more processing than a Trinix output board,
which means it requires more power and cooling. This increased power
and cooling limits the number of boards and in which slot a TMV may be
used in a routing switcher.
