Details
World’s First True Embedded Audio Processing Router
Platinum MX combines the best of both high-bandwidth video signal routing and an internal TDM architecture to provide the world’s first embedded audio infrastructure router. By providing parallel signal paths and dedicated, redundant crosspoints for both audio and video within a single frame, Platinum MX is able to demux incoming embedded audio signals internally. All audio within the frame is presented to the ATDM crosspoint, routed independently and discretely, and can be multiplexed within the router into any digital video output. Additionally, utilizing the ATDM crosspoint, Platinum can perform phase reversal, swap, sum and “quiet” breakaway switching of the audio between any discrete or embedded input, and provide gain/level adjustments on a per-channel basis. This ability to process and route both discrete and embedded audio within the Platinum frame eliminates the need for racks of external equipment and saves on space, cabling, troubleshooting and maintenance.
All the capabilities of a discrete audio infrastructure are now available with the straight-forward wiring of an embedded plant. System designers can now reduce the number of modules and frames, and simplify wiring and system integration tasks while providing enhanced functionality for the end user.
Enhanced Control and Monitoring
Imagine Communications router control systems make even the most complex router configuration simple and intuitive to implement and maintain. Among the powerful tools available for administering systems are low-level discovery of available hardware, allowing database creation and maintenance to be accomplished from the engineer’s desk; and automatic, wizard-based creation of logical source assignments for demulti plexed audio levels. The DB Editor interface provides access to the Platinum MX router’s distributed control architecture, which drives router frames and control surfaces without reliance on a centralized controller. Each Platinum MX frame features redundant control modules that store configuration information related to that frame in non-volatile memory, protecting your crucial configuration information and current routing status. This topology also allows control panel communication to be distributed throughout the facility, eliminating single points of failure.
Integrated Multiviewer Support
Platinum SX Pro is an output module that operates in any current Platinum router chassis (5, 9, 15 or 28RU). Occupying from one to four slots, the module can reside alone in a Platinum frame and function exclusively as a multiviewer, or can be combined with routing cards for ultimate flexibility. Platinum SX Pro is capable of monitoring from 16 to 512 sources and driving up to 192 independent displays. It uses MicroFine scaling technology to maintain the finest detail even on the smallest of PiPs and features ultra low-latency processing to deliver the lowest possible frame delay.
Higher Reliability
Platinum MX routing frames are designed for harsh operation (including mobile truck environments) and feature front-loading, hot-swappable modules for ease of serviceability. Employing the latest technology, Platinum MX allows more functionality at lower power consumption, and is supported by redundant, load-sharing power supplies. Air-flow runs from front to back, with each fan individually replaceable without taking the system offline. For further reliability, Platinum MX I/O modules support either eight inputs or eight outputs, thereby limiting the number of signals affected by any one module. Each Platinum MX frame supports redundant control, and redundant cross-points are available in most configurations.
