1.2. APPLICATIONS

The RSW-7x00 R-Switch Line of Redundancy Switches may be employed within

a DVB broadcast system for a dependable, uninterrupted signal flow in a wide

range of redundancy management applications:

• RSW-7000, in a stand-alone 1+1 IRD redundancy application

• RSW-7200, in a stand-alone 1+1 Encoder redundancy application

• RSW-7200, in a NMS-4000 controlled Multiplexers redundancy application

• RSW-7200/R, in a stand-alone 1+1 DSNG redundancy application

• RSW-7200/O, in a stand-alone 1+1 MCPC redundancy application.

1.2.1. 1+1 IRD Redundancy Application The CODICO® RSW-7000 Redundancy Switch is a “Hot Switch Over”, without

effecting the service, featuring configurable switching time. Figure 1-2 illustrates

an RSW-7000 R-Switch controlling a 1+1 IRD Redundancy Transport Stream

Output application.

At power-up, the R-Switch monitors the GPI Status from both IRDs, selecting

the IRD-A (default) as the Active device output.

Should a failure be detected in the active IRD-A, the RSW-7000 receives a

failure status report over the GPI Dry Contacts and sends a switching command

(over GPI) to the IRDs. The IRD-A outputs are disconnected and the IRD-B

device is selected as the Active device. An alarm is activated that can be

manually reset when the fault is corrected and IRD-A is ready for operation.

However, switching to IRD-A will be done only when a failure is detected in the

currently Active IRD (meaning IRD-B).

The GPI command can be pre-set in the IRD for several alarm conditions. The

user can reconfigure the IRD, according to his specific requirements.

1.2.3. MCPC Distribution Redundancy Application Figure 1-4 displays an MCPC Distribution N+1 redundancy application, controlled

by a remote NMS-4000.

Each multiplexer receives N+1 channels from the encoders. Based on the control

from the NMS-4000, each multiplexer selects N channels and generates two

identical ASI/G.703 multiplexed MCPC transport streams. The RSW-7200 R-

Switch receives the two pairs of streams and selects one pair for distribution

(over the OUT1 output) and for local monitoring (over the OUT2 output).

The NMS-4000 monitors the status of each element in the system and controls

the operation of all elements including:

• Selecting and routing the video and audio inputs to the encoders, to provide N+1 Encoder redundancy, as well as controlling the operation of each Encoder

• Controlling the input selection and multiplexing process of each Multiplexer

• Controlling the input switching of the RSW-7200 R-Switch to provide 1+1 redundancy for the Multiplexers

a typical 1+1 E-1510 DSNG Exciter stand-alone application. The RF R-Switch

monitors the GPI status reports from the exciters.

The R-Switch receives the input Analog Audio data and the High/Low Speed

Video data, distributes it to the selected encoder. It also selects which encoded

and RF modulated output is to be provided to the Satellite Up-Converter or HPA

for satellite transmission. The R-Switch also switches the respective RF output

for local monitoring.

1.2.5. Optical MCPC Multiplexing Redundancy Application Figure 1-6 displays a typical application of the RSW-7200/O R-Switch. Two

Multiplexer units (MUX1, Main and MUX2, Redundancy) receive several transport

streams and generate two ASI level MCPC streams over fiber-optical cables. The

resulting streams are provided to the R-Switch, as follows:

• ASI1 (MAIN) optical stream is provided, via an IRD-2800 Integrated Receiver Decoder, which checks the stream information to the main input (IN-1) on the RSW-7200/O.

• ASI2 (BkUp) optical stream is provided directly to the backup input (IN-2) on the switch.

• The ASI level output of the R-Switch is provided over a fiber-optic cable to the ATM Network.

The input switching operation of the RSW-7200/OPT is controlled over GPI lines

received as follows:

• The ASI1 (MAIN) input stream is switched to the output when both MUX1 and IRD-2800 generate “correct operation” GPI control signals (GPI1 OK).

• The ASI2 (BkUp) input stream is switched to the output when any of the MUX1 or IRD-2800 does not generate “correct operation” GPI control a signals (GPI1 NOT-OK). MUX2 generates the respective “correct operation” signal (GPI2 OK).

1.3. ARCHITECTURE AND OPERATING MODE

The R-Switch line provides for stand-alone redundancy management applications

as well as for network managed applications.

The following sub-paragraphs describe the architecture of a typical redundancy

system and describe the operating mode of the redundancy application, for

either stand-alone systems as well as for remotely managed systems

1.3.1. Stand-Alone Redundancy Management In a stand-alone configuration, the R-Switch receives inputs from two devices

and provides one output for broadcast. One device (Device A by default) is set

as “Active”, and the second device (Device B) is set as “Standby”.

The R-Switch performs continual checks on the status reports provided on the

GPI Dry Contacts of both devices, determining their state of operation over time.

Upon signal failure or malfunction in Device A, the R-Switch changes Device B to

be the “Active” device with little or no interruption in the transmission.

Switching between the devices activates an alarm that can be manually de-

activated when the failure is corrected.

Once the R-Switch has determined that the recovered device has stabilized, the

status indicator for Device A will display “OK” instead of “FAIL”.

Yet, returning Device A to “OK” status does not return Device A to the status of

“Active”. The switched status (Device B as “Active” and Device A as

“Standby”) is kept until a failure is detected in the currently active device

(Device B) and then the R-Switch switches again between the devices.

1.3.2. Network Redundancy Management

When the R-Switch is remotely controlled by the NMS-4000 Network

Management System, the NMS monitors and controls the operation of all

elements in the system and redundancy switching is activated by the NMS when

required.
