UVTX/RX-2022 – 4 Port HD/SD/DVB-ASI Universal Video Modules

The UVTX/RX-2022 are “Universal” modules that accept up to four HD-SDI, HD-SDTI, SD-SDI, SDTI, DVB-ASI, 3D dual-link, and/or 3G-SDI inputs/outputs. Four Auto-Sensing inputs are provided with one monitor output and multiple format inputs are supported simultaneously. In addition to uncompressed HD-SDI, HD-SDTI, SDI or SDTI inputs, CBR (Constant Bit Rate) DVB-ASI signals (in either byte or burst mode) can be accepted by the UVTX-2022. Inputs may be either electrical or optical.

All Ethernet packets sent and received by the modules are transferred across the MD8000 on a non-blocking Layer 2 switch fabric where signal replication is supported over multiple 1GbE, 10GbE and/or OC-192/48/12/3 network interfaces. Each encapsulated video service (HD/SD/DVB-ASI) can have a unique destination or multiple destinations in the network.

The SMPTE 425 Dual Link specification is supported for transport of 3D content, Level A 3D-HD-SDI & Level B 3D-3G-SDI. Additionally, the UVTX/RX-2022 modules provide TR101-ETR290 performance monitoring and real time analysis of each DVB-ASI stream.

Other network transport protection mechanisms include Hitless Switching for redundant paths and Auto Protection. The modules provide resilient Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Lossless/Hitless path protection switching for extremely robust signal transport. Multiple format outputs supported simultaneously. A video generator (useful in circuit turn-up, testing, and troubleshooting) and an ID generator are built into the cards.
