�ATP Functional Block Diagram

With years of experience in fiber optics, TDM multiplexing, SONET/SDH, IP transport,signal processing and Switch Fabrics, Evertz® now introduces the next generation inmulti-service platforms. The ATP leverages Evertz® expertise and takes these proventechnologies to new levels, providing an infinitely flexible, fault-tolerant transport platformconsisting of the following:

1) Signal Interfaces provide input and output connections for user video, audio, datacomand telecom signals, providing multi-port signal aggregation to optimize footprintdensity. Signal standard, bandwidth, and bit errors are monitored with informationavailable for remote monitoring via Evertz® VistaLINK® PRO SNMP managementsoftware.

2) Trunk Interfaces connect to the switch fabric and encapsulate signals for transporton SONET/SDH, IP or dedicated fiber/WDM networks. Any of the Trunk Interfacesavailable may be deployed on the network, greatly simplifying network planning andallowing full utilization of various network types.

3) The Switch Fabric lies between the Signal and Trunk Interface modules and formsthe heart of an ATP node. The Switch Fabric employs a completely non-blockingarchitecture to route signals between the user and the network providing full ADD,DROP and PASS functionality at any node on the network. This gives ATP the abilityto support any conceivable unicast, multicast or broadcast signal requirement. Forapplications where the number of Signal Interface and/or Trunk Interface connectionsgrows to exceed the capacity of the Switch Fabric, additional Switch Fabric modules canbe added for easy scalability.

4) Signal Processing & Conversion modules can be accommodated in the ATP chassis.Any 7700/7800 series module can be inserted to harness the capabilities of Evertz®

vast product line, providing nearly unlimited additional functionality for outgoing orincoming signals, all in one platform. Sample processing/conversion functions include:

The most advanced, scalable and flexible media transport platform for professional video, audio and datacomsignal transport applications. A sophisticated Switch Fabric allows for unicast, multicast and broadcast signaldistribution over existing SONET/SDH or IP networks. The platform itself may also comprise the networkelements by direct connection over dedicated fiber or WDM systems. Integration with Evertz® full 7700/7800series product line provides comprehensive signal processing and conversion capabilities - all in one extremelyversatile platform.

�ATP Operation, Monitoring and Control

�3700FR & 7800FR ChassisTwo chassis are available for the ATP to accommodate large core node and smallaccess node or customer premise applications. The 3700FR 6RU chassisaccommodates sixteen Evertz 7700/7800 series cards for Signal Interface, TrunkInterface and Signal Processing/Conversion applications. Dual, redundant SwitchFabric modules, power supplies and frame controllers can also be used.

The 7800FR 3RU chassis accommodates fifteen 7700/7800 series for Signal Interface,Trunk Interface and Signal Processing/Conversion. Dual, redundant Switch Fabricmodules and power supplies can also be used.

The ATP employs a redundant, fault tolerant architecture to ensure constant serviceavailability. Management systems for network configuration, provisioning andmonitoring provide intuitive, user-friendly operation, while increasing network resiliency.

VistaLINK® PROVistaLINK® PRO is Evertz® comprehensive SNMP monitoring and control software toolsuite. The VistaLINK® PRO ATP Client provides a graphical user interface for servicescheduling and provisioning with timeline tracking.

A network view is also provided for graphical display of the network with alarming anddrill down capability at any node. Monitoring and control of hardware, signals andnetwork configuration is also available.

VistaLINK® PRO PLUS adds a fully user-configurable graphical environment for usercustomization. Starting with Global perspectives, drill down to specific nodes, framesand modules can be accomplished. Facility block diagrams and intuitive graphicalrenditions can be created with images from the VistaLINK® media library.

The VistaLINK® PRO software tool suite is a true SNMP monitoring and control packagethat goes beyond the ATP to unite Evertz® Fiber optics, Satellite RF, IRD, Conversion,Compression,

Transport Stream Monitoring and Multiviewer product lines under one customizable,detailed monitoring & control tool for facility wide signal monitoring and real-timeequipment configuration.

Third party equipment support is also provided with Northbound and Southboundinterfaces to allow complete system wide M&C under one unified system.

RedundancyThe ATP provides the capacity for hardware, connection and control redundancy. Whencombined with Evertz® hitless protection switching technology, seamless failover fromprimary to redundant streams is provided for optimum network performance.
