Overview
The Prisma IP
™ HD/SD-SDI Video Transport cards are a series of line cards
that can be used in most of the Prisma IP family of chassis. These cards
incorporate their own SONET/SDH optical trunk interfaces to permit express
optical transport of high-bandwidth high definition (HD) and standard definition
(SD) serial data interface (SDI) video services.

Description
The HD/SD-SDI card sets offer three operating configurations. The primary
approach aggregates one uncompressed full-rate HD-SDI video input with up
to three SD-SDI, SDTI or ASI video signals into a single 2.488 Gbps (OC-48c,
STM-16c) data stream that is transmitted over the SFP-based optical transport
link. After transport, recovered data stream is de-multiplexed back into the
original signals. A second configuration leverages the DPCM compression
option enabling transport of up to two full-rate HD-SDI, or one HD-SDI with
four SD-SDI/SDTI/ASI signals with no discernible degradation. A final
configuration can transport up to six SD-SDI, SDTI or ASI signals.
The HD/SD-SDI video transport card sets utilize a common front controller
card design – the HD/SD-SDI Video Packet Processor (VPP) card. The
HD/SD-SDI VPP front card is responsible for all digital video multiplexing, de-
multiplexing, and video processing.
The HD/SD-SDI transport card sets utilize the HD/SD-SDI VPP front card along with one of two types of rear-
mounted cards – HD/SD-SDI Input or Output. These cards contain the dual-rate SDI local interfaces (SMPTE-
292M and SMPTE 259M-C) and the optical transport interfaces. The rear cards interface to external HD-SDI and
SD-SDI video equipment through industry-standard BNC connectors and coaxial cables.
Seven coaxial video ports are available on each rear card. The HD/SD-SDI Input card has six video input
connectors. The HD/SD-SDI Output card has six video output connectors. Both card versions include one
software selectable video monitor connector. Two of the video ports are fully software configurable for HD-SDI,
SD-SDI, SDTI, or ASI operation and the remaining four I/O card video ports are fully software configurable for
SD-SDI, SDTI, or ASI operation. In addition to the video input/output connectors, the rear cards contain two SFP
(small form-factor pluggable) optical interface slots to insert industry standard SFP-based optical transceiver
modules for the optical trunking interface. SFP transceiver modules are available in a variety of wavelengths and
distance options, including 1310nm, 1550nm, CWDM and ITU-grid DWDM versions.
The cards can be managed in several ways. There is a local RS-232 management port on the front of the VPP
card for basic card provisioning and monitoring via the Command Line Interface (CLI). There is also an Ethernet
10/100Base-T port on the front of the VPP card to permit remote provisioning and monitoring via Web Browser,
Telnet or SNMP. A MIB is available to permit remote provisioning and monitoring via SNMP managers, such as
Prisma IP EMS, ROSA and other SNMP-based element/network management systems. The SNMP agent also
supports traps to forward critical alarm information to remote management systems. When the modules are
configured for full duplex optical transport, there is a portion of the trunking bandwidth reserved for an in-band
element management path from the remote hub site back to the headend site.
