HALRSYS-1700-AC/-DC

Modular By Design
The NetVX video networking system’s modular design supports a wide variety of applica-tion-specific configurations. The NetVX chassis houses system controller and application modules, which may be mixed and matched as desired. The NetVX HALRHALRSYS-1700 chassis contains slots for two system controller modules and 15 application modules.

Standards-Compliant Data Networking Interfaces
NetVX networking modules support SONET (OC-3), PDH (DS3) and IP data networks. The modules also support various levels of forward error correction (FEC) and may be tuned to optimally address network-specific conditions.

Extreme Flexibility
Within the NetVX system, cross connections link signals between encoders, decoders, multiplexers, demultiplexers, and ATM and IP interfaces.

Cross connections are established dynamically through software control. Each cross connection source can simultaneously service up to eight different destinations within the NetVX. Any of these cross connections can be added, dropped or re-routed in real time on an as-needed basis, without affecting any other cross connection.

Redundancy by Design
Uptime can be paramount when networking video, and real-time failover protection is critical. Redundancy protection is designed into the NetVX system video networking system to support user application needs and meet application budgets. NetVX pro-vides several types of redundancy for maximum signal protection:

• 1:1 Redundancy—A single backup module supports a single active module. In the event of a failure, the secondary module provides the service of the primary module.
  
  
• N:M Redundancy—One or more backup modules support one or more active • modules. The relationship between the quantity of active and backup modules is fully configurable. In the event of a failure, a secondary module assumes service of the primary module. Any subsequent failures can direct the service to other remaining backup modules.
  
  
• External Path Redundancy—The NetVX monitors incoming ATM- or IP-based • network data. A loss of signal or ATM AIS detected on a monitored data interface triggers a failover to the backup module..
  
  
• Internal Path Redundancy—The NetVX monitors a cross connection. A service fault detected on the monitored cross connection triggers a failover to the backup cross connection.

Flexible Power
The HALRSYS-1700 is factory-configured for either 110/220 VAC or 48 VDC power. A single power supply is provided with each chassis, and space is available for a second backup supply.

Flexible Monitoring and Control
The NetVX provides a number of configuration interfaces including Telnet, craft port, SNMP and an HTTP-based web browser.

The Bottom Line
The NetVX video networking system, Vidiem™ element management system and Vidiem Service Manager provide the infrastructure needed to create, configure, schedule and monetize real-time global video networks.
