Trinix NXT Large Video Routing

Trinix NXT

Digital Video Routing to 3 Gb/s

The Grass Valley™ Trinix™ NXT is a next generation, 3 Gb/s digital video router family. With a frame architecture designed for superior signal transport and backed by the team that has the most success in routing switcher design, Trinix NXT routers can provide you with the confidence you need to prepare for and migrate to a 3 Gb/s routing infrastructure.

Independent testing proved that the Trinix NXT has superior signal transport capabilities at 3 Gb/s and surpassed most of the SMPTE 424M specification. Input cable equalization for the Trinix NXT exceeded the 140 meter specification. Jitter and return loss measurements measured at 3 Gb/s significantly outperformed the SMPTE specification.

If you're an existing Trinix routing switcher owner, you can easily upgrade to the new 3 Gb/s circuit boards—and do so within the parameters of your existing wiring. Contact your Grass Valley sales representative for more information.

Options Information

The fully protected paths option of the Trinix NXT platform protects all circuit paths in the router—all the way back to redundant sources if you use them (see below). A failure in any circuit board or in the signal-source chain triggers an automatic failover. As the most cost-effective way to protect your most important signal paths, this option uses the Trinix NXT system's passive port expander tools—the same splitting and combining circuits used in expanded systems. These tools offer maximum reliability at no added power cost and can be implemented in single- or dual-router configurations.
