4 Channel ASI to G.703 Multiplexer/De-Multiplexer

General Description

The MMM-4230 and MMX-4230 are part of a family of data transcoders for converting between the commonly

used MPEG2 Transport Stream formats for video distribution in the broadcast industry.

With the MMM-4230 up to four ASI and one RS422 data signals can be multiplexed together and converted into a

framed or unframed DS3 signal for transmission down a single 45 Mb/s G.703 line.

The MMX-4230 converts and demultiplexes the 45 Mb/s G.703 signal back into the original four ASI signals (at

their original rates) and the RS422 data signal.

An on board switch on the MMM-4230 sets the maximum data rates for each ASI input allowing the efficient use of

the available bandwidth and for protection against overuse of the bandwidth by the other channels. Total maximum

data rate up to 43.5 Mb/s is allowed. Temporary packet stuffing is used to automatically bring the rate up to

45 Mb/s.

Inputs are automatically equalised for lengths of up to 300m of Belden 8281 or equivalent cable.

RS422 9600 Baud uni-directional data may also be sent on the same link.

Front panel indication and relay alarm on the MMM-4230 transmitter shows if there is an input data rate violation.

Corresponding alarm on the MMX-4230 receiver shows a loss of G.703 input.

An optional Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) plug-in module is available for remote monitoring of

input and output status, control and alarm states.

The MMM-4230 and MMX-4230 are designed to fit IRT’s standard Eurocard frames as well as IRT’s 4000 series

frame for use with IRT’s SNMP system and may be used alongside any other of IRT’s analogue or digital

Eurocards.

Note: Also available in a 34 Mb/s G.703 version. See “Configuration - switch settings” section for configuration

table.

Standard features:

• Up to 4 ASI and 1 Data stream on one 45 Mb/s G.703 link

• Input rate stuffing to 45 Mb/s G.703 rate

• Selectable input maximum data rates

• Automatic Input equalisation up to 300m

• Suitable for Single Frequency Network (SFN) use

• Optional SNMP plug-in monitoring and control module

• Eurocard format

Switch settings

MMM-4230 45Mb version:

The MMM-4230 Multiplexer works in a channel protection mode. The necessity for protection arises if the data rate

of the inputs exceeds the maximum allowable for an MMM-4230 Transmitter (43.5Mb/s). Without protection all

used channels would suffer errors. With protection, the available data rate can be divided among the input channels

and if a channel tries to exceed its allocation only that channel is adversely affected.

A switch, SW1, on the MMM-4230 sets the maximum data rates for each ASI input.

For 204 byte packets the following allocation is possible.

Variable Bandwidth – Channel Allocation Selection A:

For 188 byte packets the following allocation is possible –

Channel Data Rate Assignment

40.2 - - -

26.8 13.4 - -

26.8 - 13.4 -

- - 26.8 13.4

- - - 40.2

13.4 - - 26.8

- 13.4 - 26.8

If only one channel is present then the total bandwidth is allocated to that channel.

If two channels are present and one exceeds a rate of 13.4 Mb/s then that channel will be assigned 26.8 Mb/s and

the other 13.4 Mb/s. However, input 1 has priority over inputs 2, 3, & 4, input 2 has priority over inputs 3 & 4, and

input 3 has priority over input 4. So even if, say, channel 2 has an input rate above 13.4 Mb/s and then input 1’s rate

also increases above 13.4 Mb/s, then input 1 will be assigned the bandwidth of 26.8 Mb/s whilst input 2’s will be

relegated to 13.4 Mb/s. Once a channel has been assigned a bandwidth of 26.8Mb/s it will retain the allocation until

either its input signal is removed, or until a channel with higher priority requires 26.8Mb/s allocation, or there are

any three channels connected.

If three channels are present they will each be assigned 13.4 Mb/s.

If four channels are present then channel 4 will not get any bandwidth.

The error concealment in the MMX-4230 will not allow an instantaneous change in channel allocation, so this

should be disabled when using the above option by installing link LK1.

Installation

Pre-installation:

Handling:

This equipment may contain or be connected to static sensitive devices and proper static free handling precautions

should be observed.

Where individual circuit cards are stored, they should be placed in antistatic bags. Proper antistatic procedures

should be followed when inserting or removing cards from these bags.

Power:

AC mains supply: Ensure that operating voltage of unit and local supply voltage match and that correct rating

fuse is installed for local supply.

DC supply: Ensure that the correct polarity is observed and that DC supply voltage is maintained within

the operating range specified.

Earthing:

The earth path is dependent on the type of frame selected. In every case particular care should be taken to ensure

that the frame is connected to earth for safety reasons. See frame manual for details.

Signal earth: For safety reasons a connection is made between signal earth and chassis earth. No attempt should be

made to break this connection.

Installation in frame or chassis:

See details in separate manual for selected frame type.

Signal Connections:

All ASI & G.703 inputs and outputs are by 75ΩBNC connectors.

Alarm output is via a two-pin 0.1” header. Alarm condition is when there is a short between these two pins. This

corresponds to either a loss of power or if there is an input data rate violation on the MMM-4230, or a loss of power

or a loss of G.703 input on the MMX-4230.

RS-422 data input and output connections are made via HE-14 8 pin double row connectors on both the MMM-

4230 and the MMX-4230.

SNMP:

When used in an IRT FRU400 Frame with a CDM400 SNMP Module fitted, the MMM-4320 and MMX-4320 can

be interrogated by an SNMP Network Management System and certain functions can also be remotely controlled.

For instance, the channel bandwidth assignment can be altered and any the RS errors that have occurred can be

read.

SNMP Traps on alarm states can be optionally sent.

The MIB (management information base) associated with these devices has the following OIDs (Object Identies):

Alarms

Channel Present

Channel Enabled

Channel Measured Data Rate

Channel Rate Alarm Channel

Channel Packet size

Bandwidth Allocation

SMU-4000 Installation

The SMU-4000 plug-in SNMP management controller module can only be fitted to IRT’s 4000 series modules that

are capable of being SNMP upgradeable. To determine whether a module is SNMP upgradeable, a square section

on the main PCB is silk screened and fitted with three multipin sockets – as shown below:

This is where the SMU-4000 plug-in SNMP management controller module is fitted. The three sets of multipins on

the underside of the SMU-4000 line up with the three sets of multipin sockets on the main PCB module. Align all

pins and then gently press the SMU-4000 all the way down into place.

If the SMU-4000 is not already programmed with the correct firmware to match the module that it is being plugged

into, it then needs to be programmed via the pins on the topside of the SMU-4000.

Note that installation will generally be done by IRT Electronics at the time of ordering.

Note also that an SMU-4000 will only be functionally operational when the main module that it is plugged into is

fitted into an IRT 4000 series frame fitted with a CDM-4000 SNMP agent and being interrogated by a suitable

Network Management System.
