Fiber X-LINK is here, just like its predecessor X-LINK, you can link routers together or connect to external devices without affecting IO. The heart of the system has more capabilities than ever with Routers no longer just SDI inputs and outputs, but with Advanced Multiviewers, Up Down Cross, Encoders/ Decoders, and more. FX-LINK allows you to connect up to 20 NEXX slots so that you can keep growing.
A completely non-blocking solution up to 960x960 single essence 12G-SDI. FX-LINK looks like one router. Not only in the control system, MAGNUM-OS, but also in the NEXX itself. Each FX-LINK supports one module worth of data, whether it is the NEXX-IO-C1, NEXX-670, or the NEXX-Scorpion. For optimal performance all crosspoints should be connected to a common reference system.
Features
Expansion: NEXX-XC-E1
The NEXX-XC-E1 is where your crosspoint and control lives in the NEXX router. Fitting into the NEXX 5RU frame by utilizing the crosspoint, slot 11 and 12, this expansion crosspoint has 20 FX-LINK connections allowing for scaling up to 20 modules.
Breakout: NEXX-XC-B1
The NEXX-XC-B1 extends your signals in its frame to the NEXX-XC-E1 or NEXX-3-XC1. Each B1 crosspoint can add up to 12 slots with FX-LINKs and one 1G control connection to the central NEXX router. This crosspoint can be used in the NEXX 5RU and NEXX 3RU frames.
