Description

DATASHEETThe UVTX-2022 is a ‘Universal’ transmitterboard capable of accepting up to four HD-SDI,
HD-SDTI, SD-SDI, SDTI, DVB-ASI, 3D dual-link,
and/or 3G-SDI inputs

UVTX-2022
4 Port 3G/HD/SD-SDI & DVB-ASI
Video Transmit Module with
Uncompressed Processing

Applications• Carrier Class Media Networks• Flawless Contribution Video-Transport• High Performance Studio Interconnects• Reliable Content Delivery Systems• Integrated Live, Recorded and File-based
Communications
Features & Benefits• Outputs 1-4 input video signals

The UVTX-2022 is a ‘universal’ transmitter board capable of accepting up to four
HD-SDI, HD-SDTI, SD-SDI, SDTI, DVB-ASI, 3D dual-link, and/or 3G-SDI inputs.
Four Auto-Sensing inputs are provided with one monitor output and multiple format
inputs are supported simultaneously. In addition to uncompressed 3G-SDI, HD-SDI,SD-SDI, or SDTI inputs, CBR (Constant Bit Rate) DVB-ASI signals (in either byte orburst mode) can be accepted. Inputs may be either electrical or optical.

• 3G-SDI/1080P• 3D Dual-Link Supported• Auto-Sensing on Video Inputs• ETR290 Performance Monitoring• Multi-format Signal Generator with ID• Optical (SFP) or Electrical (BNC) VideoInterfaces• SMPTE 2022 1/2 & 5/6• Interoperable with other SMPTE 2022
compatible products• Hitless Switching

All Ethernet packets sent by the UVTX-2022 module are transferred across a
MD8000 non-blocking Layer 2 switch fabric where signal replication is supported
over multiple 1GbE, 10GbE and/or 100GbE network interfaces. Each encapsulated
video service 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-2022 provides
TR101-ETR290 performance monitoring and real time analysis of each DVB-ASI
stream. Other network transport protection mechanisms include Hitless Switchingfor redundant paths and Auto Protection. A video generator (useful in circuit turnup, testing, and troubleshooting) and an ID generator are built into this card.
