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 routing switcher 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 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.

Available as an option is the new Trinix NXT Multiviewer, a fully integrated, internal component of the Trinix NXT routing switcher that represents a unique, next-generation approach to live event broadcast and production multiviewer solutions in 3G. It optimizes space by eliminating secondary external components and connections that consume valuable rack space, as well as the need for additional cabling and other hardware—all of which lead to a more reliable multiviewer.

Each Trinix NXT Multiviewer includes eight SDI monitor outputs with each output capable of independently supporting any standard video format from 480i to 1080p. By using the card's cascade capability, the system can also support more than 128 images on a single output or create a true video cube, with one image spanning multiple monitors without rescaling the cascaded signals.

Full-screen expansion of individual tiles for QC is supported, with on-screen mouse and cursor capabilities, enhanced signal monitoring, status, and alarming functions, and the ability to easily import or export configurations. These features enhance operator performance and enable quick screen layout and configuration changes.

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—as well as add the Trinix NXT Multiviewer to any Trinix frame we've ever shipped.

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.
