Trinix NXT — Installation and Service Manual 131
Summary of Installation Procedure
Connecting the Cables
1. Make sure all boards and cards are seated in their backplane sockets.
This step is generally not a problem since the boards and cards are held
in place with locking extractors.
As previously described in Duplication and Expansion on page 69 , either
the PE-33016 or PE-2X2-3G Port expanders can be used to provide dual
outputs in blocks of 16. The PE-33008 Port expander can be used to
provide quad outputs in blocks of 16.
2. Ensure that the input/output expansion DIP switches and jumpers are
in the correct position if the system is supplied with port expanders.
These switches and jumpers are normally set at the factory and are
based on the configuration that is specified in the sales order. For more
information, see Duplication and Expansion
on page 69 .
3. Connect the desired input and output video cables.
Note Grass Valley recommends using 75-ohm BNC connectors (rather than 50
ohm) for HDTV applications.
The following items should be considered when connecting the input
and output video cables:
• All unused BNC connectors must be terminated with 75-ohm ter-
minators when the system includes port expanders.
• The labels on the rear-panel of the TRX-NXT-512x512 units are cor-
rect. The output connectors are NOT arranged in a left-to-right
sequence.
Note Labels for Jupiter control systems are available. Jupiter uses“0-based” num-
bering schemes are.
Control and Monitoring Systems
There are numerous ways to control and monitor the Trinix router. You will
need to connect your preferred Control and Monitoring method.
1. Connect the Routing switcher to the Grass Valley control system of
your choice:
• For Jupiter control system connections and settings, see Jupiter
Control
on page 214 .
• For SMS 7000 or Encore control system connections and settings,
see SMS 7000 / Encore Control
on page 219 .
