The Logical Solution - Routing SDI, HD-SDI and Dual-Link HD-SDI
The VX 40 is a compact, high performance modular router and non-blocking matrix switch for complete, end-to-end routing of video and peripheral signals over multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic cable. This highly reliable and resilient router is expandable from 5 x 5 up to 40 x 40, which allows for flexible deployment configurations for a variety of small to medium sized computing environments.
The VX 40 is a 6.25 Gbps Router Designed for Mission Critical Applications with the Ability to Route and Switch up to 40 x 40 Signals
Designed to improve operational efficiency and maximize resources, the VX 40 offers unrivalled scalability, signal integrity, and control flexibility. The highly robust router design supports advanced, real time applications in environments such as broadcast, post-production, government, medical, military, and corporate. The unmatched 6.25 Gbps signal capability supports SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and SMPTE digital video formats. In addition, the VX 40 is a protocol agnostic solution, therefore it supports all high data rate signals.
The System - Hot-Swappable and Redundant
The inspired modular approach of the VX 40 allows for all critical system components including power supplies, cooling fans and pluggable optics (SFP+) to be hot-swappable, thus minimizing business impact in the unlikely event a component should fail. The hot-swappable I/O boards also provide excellent in-service expansion capabilities in convenient steps of 5, thus allowing the VX 40 to be reconfigured without interrupting signal processing by powering down the router. In addition, the dual redundant power supplies ensure continuous, uninterrupted power.
The VX 40 is controlled via a dedicated external Linux CPU (pc) module (which can be provided via Thinklogical or the end-user). This allows for customization as well as ease of control and administration with access provided via a network connection (browser), or a serial port for 3rd party controller integration (such as Crestron, AMX or home-spun interfaces). Moreover, the VX 40 is equipped with industry-standard LC type fiber connectors and offers unprecedented integration with Thinklogical's Velocity Series of fiber optic KVM and video transmitters and receivers.
Comprehensive Control Features
The VX 40 is engineered with a range of innovative Thinklogical control features designed to simplify operation in mission critical visualization environments. Key features include, an advanced GUI which provides convenient user interface to the router from remote locations. The GUI allows for easy and intuitive setup and control of the switching between source computer or video entities and user display destinations such as desktops, theaters, conference rooms, editing suites, control consoles, video walls, biomedical imaging arenas, satellite mapping, etc. In addition, single video sources may be multi-cast (one to more than one) or broadcast (one to all) to desired destinations. Additionally, macro presets may be created for saving and recalling commonly used input and output ties. A dedicated preview output option provides a view of all available input signals before switching to a live output. This eliminates the possibility of these signals being inadvertently routed to a live program during a presentation and allows for program outputs to remain available for signal distribution.
Enhanced diagnostics and alarms
The VX 40 provides extensive real-time monitoring and diagnostics of the internal product operating temperature, power supply voltages, I/O fiber links, fans, and other critical functions of the router. LED indicators provide active and fault monitoring, while the system alarms can be configured to trigger an external control system, or generate e-mail notifications.
