The award-winning Platinum IP3 28RU router is now available in a compact 15RU frame. The new router features the same integrated routing and processing capabilities of the larger model, including the addition of hybrid IP connectivity, in a smaller 15RU form factor, delivering cost-, space- and power-efficiency improvements.
Like the rest of the acclaimed Platinum line, the small-footprint, enterprise-class Platinum IP3 15RU router integrates mixed-format video and audio routing, multiviewer functionality, mux/demux, frame sync and advanced I/O options such as MADI and fiber — all within a single, space-saving frame. And now with the addition of a module that provides a best-in-class, multichannel uncompressed over IP (UCIP) solution, the Platinum IP3 becomes the central gateway in a hybrid IP/SDI routing environment. The PX-UCIP module is an on-ramp/off-ramp solution that is installed directly into the Platinum IP3 frame.
Offering mixed-signal routing up to 288 x 512 video in a single 15RU frame, the new router can be seamlessly expanded – with no disruption to on-air operations – up to 576 x 512 in two interconnected 15RU frames.
Platinum IP3 delivers real-world benefits:
The Platinum IP3 15RU is future-proofed to support Ultra High Definition (UHD) signals, is well suited for mobile and broadcast production environments, and is designed for reliable, resilient, high-quality routing of all signal types.
Groundbreaking Platinum IP3 Innovation
Over the years, Imagine Communications has achieved an impressive resume of “firsts” with the Platinum router line. Platinum IP3 incorporates all the industry-leading capabilities of this proven line, and once again raises the bar in router design.
Industry’s Most Scalable Router
Platinum IP3 is the first signal router that can scale to multi-frame configurations for large to very large broadcast operations using a common architecture. It delivers high-quality, multiformat signal routing up to 288 x 512 video in a single 15RU frame, and up to 576 x 512 video in two interconnected 15RU frames. (The Platinum IP3 28RU scales up to 576x1024 in a single frame, and to more than 2Kx2K in multi-frame configurations without external distribution amplifiers or combiners.) Scale seamlessly up to the larger matrices, eliminating the need to take your station off the air.
First Router to Protect Video, Audio and Multiviewer Signals
Platinum IP3 is the only router in the industry that protects audio, video and multiviewer signals. By adding redundant crosspoints to the Platinum line’s uniquely integrated architecture, the next-generation platform reduces cost and complexity, while maximizing on-air security.
Enhanced Control and Monitoring
Platinum IP3 offers a highly intuitive, centralized controller that simplifies communications management between the router and other connected components. A rich, web-based user interface and template-driven configuration simplify access to information, speed setup of both the database and system, and enable updates to publish to the entire system in seconds — without going off air.
First True Embedded Audio Processing Router
All Platinum routers provide parallel signal paths and dedicated, redundant crosspoints for both audio and video within a single frame. All audio within the frame is presented to the TDM MAX crosspoint, routed independently and discretely, and can be multiplexed within the router into any digital video output. Utilizing the TDM MAX crosspoint, Platinum can also 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.
First Integrated Frame Sync
All Platinum routers offer an integrated frame sync input card that allows up to eight wild video signals to be synchronized to house reference without the use of external frames or wiring. This optional card can also perform demultiplexing of up to 16 channels of embedded audio in each video stream, which can then be routed independently and discretely. ASI, SD, HD and 3 Gb/s signals are supported, as are coax and fiber connectivity. Backward-compatible with all Platinum frames, this flexible card combines with the mux/demux functionality to enable optimal synchronization of audio and video.
MADI Support
All Platinum routers offer an input and output card set that supports the Multichannel Audio Digital Interface (MADI) protocol for carrying multiple channels of digital audio on a single cable or fiber. Each input module accepts up to four MADI inputs and then generates a 128-channel TDM stream from the decoded audio. The output module encodes up to 128 TDM audio channels into up to four MADI outputs. Fiber and coax connectivity are supported.
First Integrated Multiviewer
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.
