2.1 Explanation of Safety Symbols
2.2 Safety Warnings
CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the Operating
Instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
2.3 Mains Power Supplies
The Vega 30 Router chassis has two DC power connectors, for up to two separate external
Vega 30 power supply modules; these modules each have an IEC mains power socket.
The mains supply voltage will be auto-detected by the external power supply modules,
provided it is in the range 100 - 240 Vac and 50 / 60 Hz.
Always ensure that the unit is properly earthed and power connections are correctly made.
This Vega 30 equipment with its separate external power supply modules must be supplied
from a power supply system providing a PROTECTIVE EARTH connection and having a
neutral connection which can be reliably identified.
The power circuit breakers or switches supplying power to the unit should be close to the unit
and easily accessible.
This symbol refers the user to important information contained in the accompanying
literature.
This symbol indicates that hazardous voltages are present inside. No user serviceable
parts are inside. This system should only be serviced by trained personnel.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
The installation and maintenance of the Vega 10 Series router(s) and any associated
equipment must be carried out by persons qualified to work with equipment which may be
connected to a mains electric supply.

3.4 Architecture and Signal Flow
3.4.1 Vega 30 Inputs and Outputs
The Vega 30 Router is powered by one or two separate Vega 30 power supply modules.
The router simply requires:
• An analog reference signal for SMPTE RP-168-2009 compliant switching.
• An ethernet connection for control.
Video inputs and MADI audio inputs are routed to video outputs and MADI audio outputs.
(Note: Audio routing requires option VG10-AR.)
The inputs and outputs are shown in Figure 2 and are listed below:
• Signal Inputs:
•Video inputs - 34-off HD-BNC.
•MADI Audio inputs - 3-off HD-BNC. (64 audio channels per input.)
• Signal Outputs:
•Video outputs - 34-off HD-BNC.
•MADI Audio outputs - 6-off HD-BNC. (64 audio channels per output.)
• Reference: Includes a switchable 75R termination.
•Reference input - 1-off HD-BNC for analogue reference signal.
•Reference output - 1-off HD-BNC, loops through the Reference input.
•Ethernet LAN port - RJ45 connector.
•Power:DC power inputs:
•PSU1- Connect the supplied Vega 30 Power Supply Module.
•PSU2 -Connect optional Vega 30 Power Supply Module. (Purchased separately.)

3.4.2 Functional Description
Figure 3 shows a block diagram of the Vega 30.
Video Crosspoint Switch - Fixed-size routing matrix. Routes video inputs to one or more
outputs of the Video Crosspoint Switch,.
Timed Switching - Controls route switch timing compliant to SMPTE RP-168-2009.
Line Sync -Adjusts input line timing to synchronize video outputs and, if required, adds in
delay to output.
De-Embed - De-embeds embedded audio coming from the video crosspoint and passes it to
the Audio Crosspoint Switch.
Audio Crosspoint Switch - Optional audio routing allows additional, separate routing of
audio, including MADI audio.
Embed - Embeds audio from the audio crosspoint back into output video.
This can simplify system installation by removing a need for external audio embedders.
Clean Quiet Switch (CQS) - Gives smooth non-visible transitions and removes any audio
clicks and pops associated with a switched transition.
Timing and Control - Provides timing and control to the router’s functional blocks.
Dual Redundant Power - Allows the unit to operate from separate mains power supplies via
Vega 30 DC Power Supply Modules.

3.4.3 Video Reference
The Vega 30 Router auto-detects a bi-level or tri-level analogue reference sync signal and
reports the video standard. The Vega 30 Router has one video reference input. There is a
reference loop-through output and a selectable termination to 75R.
The video reference signal is used as the timing basis for video line switching. Switching is
then done independently for each router input (to SMPTE RP-168-2009).
The video standards for the Vega 30 reference input signal and for route switching are
defined as part of the unit configuration.
3.4.4 Timed Video Switching
The Vega 30 does timed switching to SMPTE RP-168-2009 for video input signals which are
compliant with SMPTE RP-168-2009 and which share the same frame rate. The router will
switch between inputs on the switching line according to the video switching standard of the
signal being switched to.
Using one video reference signal, the video switching standard can be configured separately
for each input. For example, with a 1080i50 analogue referencesignal, 1080i50, 1080p50 and
625i25 signals can be timed-switched.
3.4.5 Line Synchronizing and Offset from Reference
Each switched video output can be independently line-synchronized and, if required, can be
further delayed from the reference timing.
•Line Synchronizing - synchronizes the router output to the video reference
according to the routed input’s timing switching standard.
•Delay - if required, delay can be added into each router output to offset the output
signal timing from the reference signal timing.
See Section 6 "Output Video Timing - Line Sync and Offset" on page 45 for more information.
Note:
The Vega 30 Router carries out timed-switching which is only supported for a single frame
rate at any one time.
For example, with a 50Hz reference, 59.94Hz and 60Hz frame rate signals cannot be
timed-switched.
Important:
If there is no reference input signal,
the router will crash-switch upon receiving a routing switch command.
If a video input signal is inconsistent with the configured video switching standard set up for
that input, then the signal will be crash-switched.
When using an interlaced reference signal, progressive videosources are only switched on
the first field of the reference signal.

Vega 30 Router User Manual Routing Architecture Product Overview 3.5
Issue1 Revision 1 Page 20 © 2017 SAM
3.5 Routing Architecture
The Vega 30 Router basically routes sources to destinations. The Vega 30 Router contains a
video crosspoint switch and an audio crosspoint switch, as shown in Figure 4.
The routing is carried out in a video crosspoint switch and an audio crosspoint switch.
The video crosspoint essentially routes Vega 30 video inputs to video outputs.
The audio crosspoint is located after the video crosspoint. The audio crosspoint routes
external MADI input audio and internal de-multiplexed audio channels to external MADI
outputs and internal audio ‘re-multiplex’ streams (for embedding into video outputs).
Router use cases are considered for the Vega 30 routing architecture in Section 10 "Routing
Use Cases" on page 171.
Sources and destinations are allocated numbers and names. There are 8-character and
32-character names, and default names are allocated. The names are editable via the unit’s
Web interface or via a RollCall template.
