CHAPTER 2
Overview
The Imagine Communications Video Multiprocessing Gateway (VMG) products provide stream routing,
switching and video processing for deployment of digital simulcast, digital broadcast and IPTV
streaming in advanced digital cable TV and Telco IPTV networks.
The 14-slot (300-watt) Video Multiprocessing Gateway “Plus” system (VMG-14+) from Imagine
Communications is provides high-level carrier-class service availability through the chassis, service-
level, and module-level redundancy and is engineered for future-proof operations. It is ideally suited
for operations at lower density video headends and hub sizes, to deliver the industry’s highest density
digital video solution per-rack-unit for grooming, statistical multiplexing, and digital program insertion
(DPI), and transcoding.
The VMG-14+ is fully MPEG-2 and H.264 compliant and interoperable with leading video industry
equipment; it shares the same software functionality and application modules (NPMs, AMPs, TCMs,
and VPMs) as all other VMG systems. This chassis is available either as an AC or DC system (Figure 1)
and all system modules and shelf management modules are conveniently loaded at the front of the
chassis cage.VMG-14+ chassis slots support up to 300 watts each, to enable seamless migration to
future high capacity modules. The VMG-14+ provides advanced standard definition (SD) and high
definition (HD) MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/H.264 video processing, which enables telecommunications
deployment of next-generation cable and IPTV services.

ChassisFront
The VMG-14+ chassis cage front provides 14 vertical slots for loading of the application modules. Two
of these slots are dedicated for use by Network Processor Modules (NPM or NPM2) for 1:1 redundancy
configuration.
•If the VMG-14+ is using GEN2 NPM2 cards, the remaining 12 slots can be used for Transcoding
Modules (TCM2, or TCM2+).
•If the VMG-14+ is using GEN1 NPM cards, the remaining 12 slots can be used for Video Processor
Modules (VPM), Transcoding Modules (TCM), and up to two Application Media Processors (AMPs).
Note: Rules for loading the various modules are applicable. See “Basic Chassis Populations” on page 18
for more information.
System modules fit into numbered slots, from left (1) to right (14). Up to two Shelf Manager modules
fit into the two vertical slots at the left edge of the chassis, alongside slot 1. The AC (Figure 4) and DC
(Figure 5) VMG chassis are identical except for the inclusion of AC PSUs at the base of the AC chassis.
For slot assignments, see Tab le 3.
Rack-mounting flanges are incorporated into the chassis at the left and right front edges, to enable
front-mount at the rack. During installation, you will prepare the rack by attaching a chassis shelf to it,
which will support the rear of the rack-mounted chassis.

Slot assignments determine where to load the system modules, SCMs, fan trays, air filter, and (for AC)
power supply units. The VMG-14+ supports the components and modules listed in Table 3.

The NPM2 also provides packet inspection.
Compatibility Notes:
• The NPM is compatible with the TCM

• The NPM2 is compatible with TCM2 or
TCM2+ cards.
• Various models of NPM cards cannot be
mixed. Use only NPM or only NPM2 cards

ShelfControlManagers
The VMG-14+ SCMs fit into the dedicated SCM slots located at the left-front-edge of the chassis. Two
SCMs are required for redundancy, and an SCM in either slot can serve as the primary. When the active
is removed, the remaining SCM changes state—from standby to active.
Note: Although each Shelf Manager module contains a mini DB25 Telco Alarm interface at the RS-232
port, telco alarm LEds, and Telco alarm cutoff push button, the current release does not support
Telco alarm functionality.
The SCM faceplate provides the LEDs and components illustrated in Figure 8, and described in Table 4.
