IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND NOTICES
The following pages provide important safety guidelines for operators and service personnel. Specific
warnings and cautions appear throughout the manual where they apply. Please read and follow this
important information, especially those instructions related to the risk of electric shock or injury to persons.
Symbols and Their Meanings
‘
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle alerts the user to the presence of
dangerous voltages within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk
of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle alerts the user to the presence of important operating
and maintenance/service instructions.
The Ground symbol represents a protective grounding terminal. Such a terminal must be connected to
earth ground prior to making any other connections to the equipment.
The fuse symbol indicates that the fuse referenced in the text must be replaced with one having the ratings
indicated.
The presence of this symbol in or on NVISION equipment means that it has been designed, tested and
certified as complying with applicable Underwriter's Laboratory (USA) regulations and recommendations.
The presence of this symbol in or on NVISION equipment means that it has been designed, tested and
certified as essentially complying with all applicable European Union (CE) regulations and
recommendations.
Warning: Any instructions in this manual that require opening the equipment cover or
enclosure are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not perform any service other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are
qualified to do so.

POWER CORD WIRING
The power cord differs depending on your location. See the information below. Also note that the power
cords supplied with this equipment provide the only means of mains disconnection. The socket-outlet must
be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.
NORTH AMERICAN POWER SUPPLY CORDS
The North American power cords supplied with this equipment have a molded grounding plug (NEMA 5-
15P) at one end and molded grounding receptacle (IEC 320-C13) at the other end (see figure below).
Conductors are CEE color-coded: Light blue (neutral), Brown (line) and Green or Green/Yellow (ground).
Operation of this equipment at voltages exceeding 130 VAC will require power supply cords which comply
with NEMA configurations.
INTERNATIONAL POWER SUPPLY CORDS
The International power cords supplied with this equipment have a molded grounding receptacle (IEC 320-
C13) at one end and stripped conductors (50/5 mm) at the other end (see figure below). Conductors are
CEE color-coded: Light blue (neutral), Brown (line) and Green/Yellow (ground). Other IEC 320-C13 type
power supply cords can be used if they comply with the safety regulations of the country in which they are
installed.
FCC (USA) COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at their own expense.
FCC Emission Limits
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference; and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesirable operation.
EUROPEAN COMMUNITY (CE) DECLARATION OF CONFORMANCE
All of the equipment described in this manual has been designed to conform with the required safety and
emissions standards of the European Community. Products tested and verified to meet these standards
are marked as required by law with the CE mark (See “Symbols and Their Meanings” above.)

INTRODUCTION
NVISION manufactures the 6000 and 8000 Series ENVOY Universal Digital Routers.
Each router, identified below, combines compact frame size (with optional redundant
power supplies) and the capability of managing a wide range of signal formats.
• NV6064 provides up to 64 x 64 Inputs and Outputs with dual outputs.
• NV6128 provides up to 128 x 128 Inputs and Outputs with dual outputs.
• NV6256 provides up to 256 Inputs and 128 Outputs with dual outputs.
• NV8256 provides up to 256 x 256 Inputs and Outputs with single outputs.
Designed around a novel high speed crosspoint architecture, each router can handle
data rates from 3 Megabits per second to more than 1.5 Gigabits per second. We call
this capability “Super Wideband” (SWB). The crosspoint structure is combined with SDI
or SWB input/output modules to accommodate SDI and/or SWB data rates within the
same frame, at the same time.
With unique equalizers, reclockers, and cable drivers, the router passes pathological
signals at both SDI and HD-SDI data rates. No signal inversion of the primary outputs
takes place, which is essential for systems handling DVB-ASI data streams since DVB-
ASI is 8B/10B coded and cannot be inverted. Secondary outputs are inverted.
Input and output modules are available for SDI (143, 177, 270, and 360 Mbits) and
Super Wideband (3 Mbits/sec to 1.5 Gbits) data rates. Dual output connectors for each
destination minimize DA requirements on 6000 Series routers.
Expandable in increments of 8 Inputs or Outputs (and 16 Inputs or Outputs on the
8256), combined with the ability to control a router from an existing control system, the
router provides the user with tremendous flexibility. The modules load through the front
and can be “hot swapped” (no need to power down the frame).
Figure 1-1 shows simplified block diagrams of the 6000 and 8000 Series ENVOY
routers.

NV6064 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The NV6064 Universal Digital Router system is housed in a single frame, including
electronics and power supplies. The frame is 12 RUs high and designed to be installed
in a standard 19” equipment rack. In addition to those discussed on the previous
pages, features of the NV6064 include:
• Dual output connectors to reduce DA requirements.
• Optional redundant power supply.
• Optional secondary control available for some host controllers.
Front and rear panels are described starting below; NV6064 specifications follow the
rear panel description.
NV6064 Front Panel
Figure 1-2 illustrates the NV6064 front panel (door open). The front panel provides
access to the following assemblies:
XCooling fans, pull air into the frame through the front door and
exhaust air out through the rear.
YUp to 8 Output modules (can be a combination of SDI and
SWB) 8 outputs per board.
ZOutput Monitor module (optional).
[Controller, Primary and Secondary (optional). Module is not slot
dependent.
\Up to 8 Input modules (can be a combination of SDI and SWB),
8 inputs per board.
]Main Crosspoint module slot, 64 inputs x 64 outputs.
^Unused slot.
_Main Power Supply.
`Redundant Power Supply (optional).

NV6064 Rear Panel
Figure 1-3 illustrates the NV6064 rear panel. The rear panel contains the following
connectors:
X64 Dual Output (A - non-inverted, and B - inverted) Matrix BNC
connectors (128 total).
Y64 Input Matrix BNC connectors.
ZIEC Standard AC power connector for Main Power Supply (PS1) and
Redundant Power Supply (PS2).
[Power Supply Alarms connector. For connection details, see the heading,
"Power Supply Alarms Connector (6064/6128)" on page 1-33.
\System Alarms connector. For connection details, see the heading,
"Alarms Connector (all models)" on page 1-31.
]Monitor outputs (optional). Outputs 1 and 2 are identical SWB signals.
Outputs 3 and 4 are identical SD signals.
^Video Reference 1 and 2. Connect analog PAL or NTSC composite video.
_Ethernet and SMS7000 GSC Node Bus control system connectors. Ethernet
connectors may be used for the NVISION NV9000 Series Control System,
and the GSC Node Bus connectors are used for the GVG SMS7000 Control
System. See the documentation for those systems for connection details.
`Serial Control and Diagnostic connectors. Connect your main
control system to the Primary and Secondary CTRL 1 connectors.
This provides control connections to the primary and secondary
Controller modules. If you have a second alternate control system,
use the Primary and Secondary CTRL 2 connectors.
Use the DIAG connectors for connecting to a PC to run the supplied
UniConfig router configuration software.
See Figure 1-11 on page 1-29 for Control connector drawings and
pin-outs, which are the same for all four control connectors. See the
UniConfig manual for the diagnostic port pin outs.
Note: Connectors not described here are reserved for future use.
