Applications
• SDTV/HDTV/AES core routing
The Platinum wideband digital multirate routing switcher can be used as an
on-air router for up to 512x512 applications; for example, core facility
routing, master control distribution, transmission solutions, etc.
• SD to HD migration
The Platinum wideband digital multirate routing switcher will pass and
reclock both standard SD (including 143, 177, 270, 360, and 540 Mb/s) and
HD (1.485 Gb/s) signals, which allows you to route both SD and HD
signals in the same router. Consequently, it provides you with a high degree
of investment protection, in that an SD facility could easily migrate to HD
without the need to replace the router.
• AES/EBU digital audio, SD, and HD in the same platform
The Platinum wideband digital multirate routing switcher can switch signals
from 3 Mb/s to 1.5Gb/s, thereby providing a truly digital signal diagnostic
solution. The Platinum I/O boards will route digital audio, SD and HD.
Now you can route nearly any digital audio or video signal within the same
router platform.
• Analog audio conversion
• Analog video conversion
• ASI / SSI routing applications
• Digital signal monitoring
• Distributed routing
• Central casting
Link two or more Platinum routers together between facilities, and control
and operate as if using one large routing system from your central facility.

Introduction
Overview
The Platinum routing switcher system extends both the matrix size and
functionality of our routing switcher product line. Its flexible modular
architecture accommodates both standard definition and high definition digital
video signals while keeping a versatile frame and control system. This
combination allows high performance, multi-format video routing within a
single, flexible frame.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• “Control Features” on page 20
• “Frame-Specific Components” on page 11
• “Frame Specifications” on page 25
• “Front Panel LED Indicators” on page 18
• “Main Features” on page 3
• “Module-Specific Components” on page 12
• “Product Description” on page 2
Chapter 1: Introduction
Product Description
The Platinum routing switcher system provides matrix expandability beyond
8×8, to 512×512 in a single frame. The 8×8 building block provides ideal
growth and flexibility for mixed applications such as high definition and serial
digital interface, and other integrated processing opportunities such as analog
and/or digital conversion. With its ability to route signals ranging from 3.0 Mb/s
to 2.97 Gb/s, the Platinum router offers a clear growth path from lower bit rate
signals to high bandwidth, high definition format signals. This router will also
handle both AES and polarity sensitive ASI/SSI signal formats.
The Platinum router is available in these frame sizes:
• The 5RU (PM-FR-5) frame supports matrices up to 72×64.
• The 9RU (PM-FR-9) frame supports matrices up to 128×128.
• The 15RU (PT-FR-15) frame supports matrices up to 256×256.
• The 28RU (PT-FR-28) frame supports matrices up to 512×512.
All of these frames use common, front-loadable, and hot-swappable input and
output modules. The 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames use common crosspoint
modules. (The 5RU frame uses a different crosspoint module). Each frame has a
passive module interconnect (MI) signal distribution module interconnecting
the routing system.
The frames support user-friendly, self guiding insertion and extraction: No
module can be inserted into the wrong area where damage (electrical or
physical) may occur. The frames are designed so that, during module insertion
or extraction, damage to other modules is prevented. All modules ground before
any active components are energized. This includes standard make-before-break
power connectors and grounding tabs, where necessary, on modules.
Each frame is accessible from the front via sectioned, removable doors. Status
LEDs can be viewed through these doors; these LEDs indicate power supply
presence (and status), resource module usage, and link light indicators for
Ethernet communications ports. Two tri-color LEDs that indicate user-defined
alarm conditions are also viewable through the door. (See Figure 1-8 on
page 19.)
The frames are designed to be compliant with NEBS certification requirements
(e.g., non-removable door option, locking power supplies, etc.).
Platinum frames are compatible with all of Harris’s router control software
products, such as CCS Navigator™ and RouterMapper™.
A key advantage of the Platinum router is that it provides redundant crosspoint
paths in the 5RU, 9RU, and 15RU frames. This function, a common concern of
professional broadcast customers, is not offered by many current competitive
products. By using redundant crosspoint modules, a fully redundant path
through the system is available. While the 5RU, 9RU, and 15RU Platinum
frames provide complete hardware crosspoint redundancy, all frames offer
redundant path operation based on advanced rule sets integrated into the control
system, thus providing a more robust operation than typically found in
competitive offerings.

Chapter 1: Introduction
The Platinum router's modular architecture consists of separate input and output
modules, each of which contains eight inputs or outputs; and crosspoint
matrixes (redundant crosspoint paths can be configured for robust operation).
Depending on the configuration, one or more modules may be present in the
frame for various optional functions. See Table 1-1 on page 4 for frame
population information.
• Detailed information about input modules (such as configuration,
installation, block diagrams, and specifications) is outlined in Chapter 3.
• Detailed information about output modules is outlined in Chapter 4.
• Detailed information about crosspoint modules is outlined in Chapter 5.
• Detailed information about output monitoring submodules is outlined in
Chapter 6.
A resource module (PT-RES) is required for system control. A second resource
module may be added for redundancy. See page 33 for detailed information
about the resource module.
A single power supply supplies the core components for each frame size.
Frames with conversion or advanced processing options may require additional
power supplies; or additional power supplies may be added for redundancy.
Table 1-1 on page 4 shows the number of total power supplies required for each
frame size. See page 46 for detailed information about the power supply
module.
The Platinum router supports several output monitoring modules, which are
available as options. See page 16 for brief descriptions of these options.
Detailed information about these options (such as configuration, installation,
block diagrams, and specifications) is outlined in Chapter 6.
Status LEDs, viewable through the door, indicate power supply presence and
status, resource card usage, and link light indicators for Ethernet
communications ports. Two bicolor LEDs, also viewable through the door,
indicate user-defined alarm conditions. Since the door is removable, frame
cooling is fully functional whether or not the door is present. (For maximum
cooling, we recommend leaving the door closed.)
Frame modular components include the following items. These items are
illustrated in Figure 1-5 on page 9, Figure 1-6 on page 9, and Figure 1-7 on
page 10.
• Input modules are located on the right side of the frame, and output modules
are located on the left side, as viewed from the front when the front panel
door is opened. Both module types are visible from the front when the front
panel door is opened. (See Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6.)
• The resource module and optional redundant resource module are located in
the middle of the frame in 28RU frames, and below the output modules in
5RU, 9RU and 15RU frames. Resource modules are visible when the front
panel door is opened. (See Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6.)
• The sync module and optional redundant sync module are located below the
resource modules in 5RU frames and above the resource modules in 9RU,
15RU, and 28RU frames. (See Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6.) Sync modules
are visible when the front panel door is opened.

Chapter 1: Introduction
• Power supply modules are located at the bottom of the frame in 5RU
frames, at the top of the frame in 9RU and 15RU frames, and at the top and
the bottom of the frame in 28RU frames. (See Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6.)
• Back panel I/O modules mount to the rear of the frame (behind the input
and output modules) and provide input and output connections for the
system. (See Figure 1-7.) The same BNC back panel I/O module is used for
the inputs as well as the outputs.
• Fans are located on the rear of the frame and are individually removable in
case of a failure. (See Figure 1-7.)
• The communications back panel is located bottom of the frame, below the
back panel connectors for the output modules. (See Figure 1-7.)

Chapter 1: Introduction
Control Features
Your Platinum router makes use of the most innovative control systems
available on the market today. The operating system used for the Platinum
router is a real-time embedded operating system that uses an interrupt-driven
and priority-based task scheduling algorithm to control the operations of the
router. This means that switches will occur in a timely manner, which allows the
Platinum router to be used in broadcast facilities where timing is crucial to the
success of the facility.
Physical
The control system reports information related to the physical properties of the
control subsystem components, such as
• Number of control modules actually installed
• Hardware revision(s) of installed modules
• Number of coprocessors actually installed
• Type, number and revision of internal control communications network
components that are installed.
Parametric
The control system reports information related to the control system itself, such
as
• Number of operational logic/resource modules
• Condition of operation (e.g., active/standby, etc.)
• Installed firmware/software version(s)
• Available memory (volatile/nonvolatile/internal or external)
• Installed communications ports
• Configuration parameters important to the control system (e.g.,
communication port parameters, condition of ports, ports in use)
• Installed file systems/memory devices
Signal
Physical
The control system reports information related to the physical components
involved in switching, monitoring and/or processing signals/data streams, such
as
• Number of components (e.g., input/output modules, etc.) that may be
installed
• Number of components installed (e.g., number of crosspoint modules,
processing modules, other signal handling components)
• Type of components installed
Chapter 1: Introduction
Note
Other than physical frame failure alarms (e.g. fans, power supplies,
etc.), no default alarms are specified.
Real-time Requirements
All switches referenced to the same sync signal will occur within the same
vertical interval. If multiple sync signals are provided to the frame, all switches
will occur within the same number of frames as there are sync signals (i.e., if
three sync signals are provided, all switches will occur within three frames). If
no sync signals are present, the switches occur asynchronously after a
reasonable time-out period (less than 0.1 seconds from reception of command),
resulting in deterministic operation. If a sync signal was present and then
removed, the switches will remain timed to that sync for a specified period of
time (based on sync type); this provides robust operation in case of sync failure
in the system (e.g., wiring fault, etc.).
Chapter 1: Introduction
Applications Integration
The CCS control system supports the Platinum router via the new Navigator
architecture with the Router module installed, and is available for control and
monitoring from any Harris-or SNMP-supported control application. And with
RouterMapper, the frame supports upload/download of configurations and
macro/salvo commands.
All reportable/controllable information is available through a central/core
Programming interface that allows any or all protocol interfaces (terminal,
message-based or otherwise) to monitor, control, or query these values, to the
extent that is provided for by each protocol or interface and that satisfies
product feature requirements.
Frame
The “frame” is the physical frame that houses the router and provides the
physical structure to which all hardware components are mounted, power
supplies and their associated fans and means of distributing power, and all fans
responsible for airflow through the frame. Physical information related to this
system involves the presence/absence and type of the installed components.
Parametric information related to this system generally describes status of the
physical components operation.
Physical
The control system allows the reporting of physical frame components installed
in the system, such as
• Frame size and frame firmware revision(s)
• Number of cooling fans installed
• Number of power supplies installed
Parametric
The control system allows the reporting (as simple status parameters) the

Interconnect
Operation
The PM-MI-5 (for 5RU frames), PM-MI-9 (for 9RU frames), PT-MI-15 (for
15RU frames), or PT-MI-28 (for 28RU frames) module interconnect is the
central signal distribution module for the Platinum frame. This module provides
all of the signal distribution between the input, output, and crosspoint modules.
Along with the signal distribution, this module interconnects the control
infrastructure and distributes the required power to the appropriate signal
modules. There are no active components on the module interconnect.
Installation
The module interconnect is installed at our manufacturing facility. This module
is not user-replaceable. If you need to upgrade or replace this module, please
contact our Customer Service Department.
Configuration
This module requires no specialized configuration procedures.
The PM5-CBP (for 5RU frames) or PT-CBP (for 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU
frames) communications back panel provides the interface between all
communications connectors and the resource modules. All control ports remain
mute until, and only if, the router has fully booted and has established
communications. Even in a powered-down state, a router connected to any
communications system must not interfere with that system, and therefore must
not violate the communications standard (RS-232, RS-422, IEEE 802, etc.)
when in this state. A temperature sensor on the PM5-CBP/PT-CBP monitors the
external ambient temperature.
These connector types are available on every PM5-CBP and PT-CBP module:
• Two X-Y ports
• Four sync ports
• Two serial ports
• Two Ethernet ports
• One USB port
• One alarm port
X-Y Ports
Each PM5-CBP/PT-CBP module includes two isolated coaxial X-Y ports with
auto-switchover functionality in redundant X-Y operation. (When used with a
safe hub in a star configuration, the frame automatically switches over to the
second X-Y port when failure is detected on the first; this implies that only one
is active at any given time). In standard operation, both X-Y ports are active and
repeat communications on the X-Y bus between each other. This function can
be set via the card-edge control interface on the resource module.
Sync Ports
Each PM5-CBP/PT-CBP module includes four looping sync inputs. Each sync
input automatically detects and locks to NTSC, PAL, analog HD Tri-Level, or
AES signals. The control system reports the presence and type of sync signal
detected on each of the four inputs. These synchronization signals are made
available to and are distributed by the resource modules to every crosspoint and
output monitoring I/O module in a frame. The sync signals distributed from the
resource module will remain undisturbed when switching over to a redundant
resource module. In addition, the resource modules automatically generate and
distribute an internal synchronization signal when no external sync input is
present. If needed, optional sync distribution modules may be added to the
frame to distribute external and internal sync signals to all input and output
modules. These sync distribution modules also support redundant operation,
and have the capability to seamlessly switch over when the redundant module is
removed.
Table 2-10 on page 58 shows the Sync Reference types and default switch
points supported by Platinum.
Serial Ports
Frames support two serial ports with either RS-232 or RS-422 communication
standards. This setting is configurable via the card-edge control interface on the
resource module. Standard baud rates (9600, 19200, 38400, and 115200) are
supported on the frame, and are configurable via the card-edge control interface
on the resource module.

Ethernet Ports
Frames support two isolated Ethernet ports, and one of these ports supports Fast
Ethernet (10/100 full and half duplex communications). The connectors follow
IEEE standards for the interface.
Note
The resource module provide one host-based USB-A port for file transfer
(USB flash module interconnect).
USB Port
The PM5-CBP/PT-CBP contains a peripheral USB-B port used for application
interface and terminal emulation.
Alarm Port
An alarm relay port on the PM5-CBP/PT-CBP supports normally open and
normally closed operation for frame alarms (for module failure, fan failure, or
power supply failure). In addition to these standard ports, an additional “ready
line” port is available to synchronize operations in a multi-frame system where
other synchronization support is unavailable (e.g., NTP).
Installation
All communications back panel modules are installed at our manufacturing
facility. This module is not user-replaceable. If you need to upgrade or replace
this module, please contact our Customer Service Department.
Configuration
This module requires no specialized configuration procedures.
The resource module (PT-RES) provides control logic for the Platinum frame.
All parameters and settings are stored in non-volatile memory to prevent any
changes from occurring due to a power interruption. Consequently, no
power-down condition or sequence will affect the router control system in such
a way as to prevent full recovery.
Each Platinum frame can have up to two PT-RES modules operating
redundantly. If one module detects failure of the other module, it will switch
over control and continue router operation.
The PT-RES module also provides the sync processing necessary to determine
the switch timing for the frame. This includes the standard sync separators for
AES, PAL, NTSC, or Tri-Level HD reference inputs, along with support for
Network Time Protocol (NTP), if an NTP server is available in the system. The
NTP functionality supports time-sensitive operations, logging, and security.
Each sync input automatically detects and locks to NTSC, PAL, analog HD
Tri-Level, or AES signals. The control system reports the presence and type of
sync signal detected on each of the four inputs. These synchronization signals
are available to and distributed by the PT-RES module to every crosspoint,
streaming, and output monitoring module in the frame. Since the PT-RES
module distributes these sync signals, it can tristate its sync outputs when a
redundant module is present, and seamlessly switch over when the redundant
module fails or is removed. In addition, the PT-RES module automatically
generates and distributes an internal synchronization signal when no external
sync input is present.
Caution
Both alarm LEDs simultaneously flashing red indicates that the
PT-RES resource module has experienced a failure condition and
needs to be rebooted. Reboot the PT-RES module as soon as
possible, and then notify Customer Service.
Along with these LEDs, there are labeled power and ground test points
accessible on the front portion of the board for troubleshooting and verification.
Installation
All PT-RES modules are installed at our manufacturing facility. See page 259
for information about replacing the PT-RES module. If you need to purchase
additional components, please contact your dealer or our Sales Department.
Configuration
This module requires no specialized configuration procedures.
The alarm module for 5RU frames (PM-ALARM-5) monitors the core
operating components of the Platinum system, and reports critical component
failures via an external interface, so that you can take any actions necessary to
maintain system integrity.
• PM-ALARM-5 modules can control PM-FAN-5 fan speed and report fan
failures.
• PM-ALARM-5 modules can externally report four user-defined alarms
comprised of any mix of signals reported to the alarm module.
• In addition to internal alarms, PM-ALARM-5 allows you the ability to
monitor legacy equipment via two remote inputs.
The PM-ALARM-5 module is accessible from the rear of the frame, located at
the bottom. It provides normally open and normally closed alarm relay contacts
for all frame- and user-configurable alarm options. This setup allows you to
configure alarm contacts based on internal frame/port information (e.g., signal
presence on output 1 fails).
The module is hot swappable and interconnects between the fan module and the
module interconnect. (See page 257 for the procedure for field expansion of
alarm modules.) The module reports alarms through the RouterMapper or
Navigator software interface, and through hardware via relay contact closures
and illuminated LEDs.
The alarm relay circuitry has been designed so the relays are energized when the
alarm condition does not exist. The relay is energized when power is applied to
detect when power is lost and to allow the alarm to be asserted.If a relay fails or
if the circuit controlling a relay fails, the relay will de-energize causing the
corresponding alarm to be asserted. If the frame loses power, the alarm relay
will become de-energized, and the alarm condition will be asserted.

The alarm module for 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames (PT-ALARM) monitors
the core operating components of the Platinum system, and reports critical
component failures via an external interface, so that you can take any actions
necessary to maintain system integrity. PT-ALARM can externally report four
user-defined alarms comprised of any mix of signals reported to the alarm
module. In addition to internal alarms, PT-ALARM allows you the ability to
monitor legacy equipment via two remote inputs.
PT-ALARM provides eight alarm outputs:
• Two critical system component failure alarms: power supply and fan
• Four user definable internal alarms
• Two user-definable external alarms
You can control alarm parameters as follows:
• User-defined inputs 1 and 2 provide the ability to monitor legacy equipment
alarm/failures and opens the ability to report these failures through the latest
versions of control software such as Navigator and RouterMapper.
• On user-defined outputs 1 through 4, the alarm module communicates
directly to the resource module via the PIPE interface.This communication
provides you with access to any status signal reported within the entire
Platinum system.
The PT-ALARM module is accessible from the rear of the frame, located
mid-frame between the 2 fan modules in a 28RU system, and at the bottom for
9RU and 15RU systems. It provides normally open and normally closed alarm
relay contacts for all frame- and user-configurable alarm options. This setup
allows you to configure alarm contacts based on internal frame/port information
(e.g., signal presence on output 1 fails).
The module is hot swappable and interconnects between both fan modules and
the module interconnect. (See page 257 for the procedure for field expansion of
alarm modules.) The module reports alarms through software via the PIPE
interface, and through hardware via relay contact closures and illuminated
LEDs.
The DB-25 alarm/comm port reports alarms as they occur in the frame.
• Normally open/normally closed
• “Normally closed” is shorted with the common (closed) when an alarm
condition does not exist and the frame is powered
• “Normally open” is shorted with the common (closed) when an alarm
condition exists
• Relay common
The alarm port provides indication of these alarm conditions:
The alarm relay circuitry has been designed so the relays are energized when the
alarm condition does not exist. The relay is energized when power is applied to
detect when power is lost and to allow the alarm to be asserted. If a relay fails or
if the circuit controlling a relay fails, the relay will de-energize causing the
corresponding alarm to be asserted. If the frame loses power, the alarm relay
will become de-energized, and the alarm condition will be asserted.

Each Platinum 15RU frame comes with one power supply module as a standard
feature. A fully-configured 15RU frame needs two power supplies.
Each Platinum 28RU frame comes with two power supply modules as a
standard feature. A fully-configured 28RU frame needs four power supplies.
• PT-PS power supply module: The 750 W universal input (100 to 240 VAC
input) Platinum power supply provides two isolated 24 V rails and one
isolated 5 V rail to the frame. See “Installing Power Supplies” on page 260
for details on power supply replacement.
• PT-PS-DC power supply module: The 750 W DC input (-40 to -65 VDC
input) Platinum power supply provides two isolated 24 V rails and one
isolated 5 V rail to the frame. See “Installing Power Supplies” on page 260
for details on power supply replacement.
1
A “fully-configured” frame is one that has encoders and decoders, as well as all other modules
and options, installed.
Note
The Platinum frame is configured at the factory to operate either from an
AC input voltage or a DC input voltage, but not both. This configuration
is based on a customer’s order and cannot be changed once the
frame leaves the factory. The AC and DC power supply modules are
mechanically compatible with all Platinum frames and are similar in
appearance, so you can easily install the wrong power supply module
into a Platinum frame. For your safety, the configurations of both the AC
input voltage and DC input voltage Platinum frames are such that, if the
wrong power supply module is installed, no electrical fault will occur, no
circuit breakers will trip, and the power supply module will not attempt to
power up and will not be damaged. Most important,you will not be in any
danger. If you find that either an AC or a DC power supply module will not
power up in a Platinum frame that has been connected to the power
mains of a facility, you should first confirm the correct power supply
module was installed. Platinum frames configured to use 100-240 VAC
require the AC power supply module; Platinum frames configured to use
-40 to -65 VDC require the DC power supply module.
Installation
All power supplies are installed at our manufacturing facility. See “Installing
Power Supplies” on page 260 for the procedure for field expansion of power
supplies. If you need to purchase additional components, please contact your
dealer or our Sales Department.
Configuration
This module requires no specialized configuration procedures.
Specifications
Specifications and designs are subject to change without notice.
The PM5-PD (for 5RU frames) and PT-PD (for 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames)
power distribution module is the interface between the power supplies and the
Platinum system. The PM5-PD/PT-PD module facilitates 2N power redundancy
through a configuration of internal and/or external power supplies. The
PM5-PD/PT-PD also provides the means for powering the rear fan module(s),
and acts as an intermediary point for the power supply alarm signals.
Power Distribution
On 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames, power is distributed throughout the
backplane via a bus bar. (The 5RU frames do not require a bus bar.)The bus bar
distributes power for each zone1. Each zone of the bus bar is divided into four
groupings (or distribution points) located evenly between every four I/O
modules.
Frame
• Platinum 5RU frames use one PM5-PD module, which is located at the
bottom of the frame. Platinum 5RU frames do not require a bus bar.
• Platinum 9RU frames use one PT-PD module, which is located at the top of
the frame. To properly distribute power, Platinum 9RU frames require a
single BUS-9 bus bar.
• Platinum 15RU frames use one PT-PD module, which is located at the top
of the frame. To properly distribute power, Platinum 15RU frames require a
single BUS-15 bus bar.
• Platinum 28RU frames use two PT-PD modules, located at the top and
bottom of the frame. The top PT-PD module distributes power to zones 1
and 2. The bottom PT-PD module distributes power to zones 3 and 4.
Fan Module
The PM5-PD/PT-PD supplies power to the fan module(s) via a 6-pin power
cable connector. See page 55 for more information about the fan module.
1
See “Installing Power Supplies” on page 260 for more information about power distribution
zones.
Power Redundancy
Power redundancy has been designed to meet a 2N criterion; that is, the
PM5-PD/PT-PD provides 2N redundancy as an option to the user. This
redundancy allows you to back up the router based on a fully independent AC
line. (For example: A 15RU frame requires two power supplies, but supports
four.) Redundancy within the frame is configurable via PS3 and PS4. (PS3 and
PS4 are configured at the factory to power zone 2). PS3-PS4 can be configured
to provide 2N redundancy for zone 1. Call your Customer Service
representative for more information.
Alarm Reporting
While the PM5-PD/PT-PD does not have any control requirements or reportable
parameters, it acts as intermediary device for alarm signals being passed from
power supplies to the alarm module.
Power Requirements
• +24 VA: Each rail can source up to 12 amps. Once combined (including 2N
redundancy) the total power the +24 VA line can source is 1200 W.
• +24 VB: Each rail can source up to 12 amps. Once combined (including 2N
redundancy) the total power the +24 VB line can source is 1200 W.
• +5 VL: Individually the +5 VL rail can source 10 amps. Once combined
(including 2N redundancy) the total power the +5 VL line can source is 200
W.
Installation
All power distribution modules are installed at our manufacturing facility. This
module is not user-replaceable. If you need to upgrade or replace this module,
please contact our Customer Service Department.
Configuration
All power distribution modules are configured at our manufacturing facility.
This module is not user-configurable. If you need a customized configuration
for your location, please contact our Customer Service Department.
Note
External redundancy is not needed on 5RU or 9RU frames. These frame
sizes already support the necessary number of redundant power
supplies.
Installation
For a standard PT-EXPS unit installation, the units should be located as follows:
• 15RU – directly above the Platinum unit
• 28RU – 1 PT-EXPS unit installed directly above and 1 PT-EXPS unit
installed directly below the 28RU frame
Configuration
The Platinum frame must be configured to interface with the PT-EXPS unit. All
new Platinum orders that include a PT-EXPS unit will be configured at the
manufacturing facility. For existing in-field Platinum units, please consult your
Customer Service representative to arrange proper frame configuration.
Note
In case of a fan failure, only individual fans will need replacement; the
entire fan module will not need to be replaced.
The fan module for 5RU frames (PM-FAN-5) contains 6 fans per module. A
5RU frame requires one PM-FAN-5 module. These fans are responsible for
cooling all installed modules. The fans draw air from the front of the frame and
exhaust the air to the rear. Each fan is monitored by the PM-ALARM-5 for rotor
movement, which signals an alarm if a rotor stalls. The fan module will produce
two failure alarms: one for failure of control section fans and one for failure of
I/O section fans. You will need to visually inspect the fan module to determine
which fan has failed. Control section fan failure will be reported as a critical
failure alarm. I/O section fan failure will be reported as a general alarm.
The fan speed is variable, and can be adjusted via the control system (see
page 35). Each fan is accessible from the frame rear and connects to the fan
module via a three-pin locking connector to allow for removal and replacement
in the event of a fan failure.
Installation
All fan modules are installed at our manufacturing facility. See “Replacing
Fans” on page 262 for details on individual fan replacement. If you need to
purchase additional components, please contact your dealer or our Sales
Department.

Configuration
This module requires no specialized configuration procedures.
Note
In 5RU Platinum frames with TDM, the sync capability is built into the
crosspoint module. A separate sync module is not required.
As part of the Platinum routing system, the PT-SYNC module allows for the
distribution of up to four independent channels of sync signals to the various
input and output modules placed within the Platinum frame. Using BNC
connectors on the communications back panel (PT-CBP) located on the rear of
the frame, you can distribute AES digital audio (DARS), analog video
(black/burst), or HD tri-level sync to be used as required by the various I/O
modules. If no sync signal is presented to channel 1, the PT-SYNC module
automatically distributes a timing reference signal (generated on the resource
module) to be used for internal lock and switching purposes. If the TDM
subsystem is used to route audio within the Platinum frame, an external
reference (on Sync input 1, 2, or 3) is required by I/O modules, and Sync 4 will
be unavailable as an input. The required reference can come from an AES
DARS input or can be derived from a video input.
Each of the four sync signals presented to the PT-CBP BNC connectors is routed
to the front-loading PT-SYNC modules, which provide for buffering and pulse
detection of the four channels. Card-edge LEDs indicate the presence of sync. If
no video sync signal is detected in Channel 1, in its place the PT-SYNC module
automatically distributes the internal trigger signal from the PT-RES module.
Each of the 4 selected sync signals is presented to separate distribution trees,
responsible for distributing the sync signals to as many as 8 banks of modules,
each containing up to 16 I/O modules. If TDM is present in a 9RU, 15RU, or
Reporting
Each of the four sync channels will provide reporting of signal presence using a
LED for each channel for on-site troubleshooting and via the frame control
system. As well, four additional LEDs will indicate the following:
• Internal / external sync
• Power supply indicator (all power rails are operational)
• Control system acknowledgment (control system is communicating with the
module)
• Active module (output is “in use” or “on-air”)
Control Requirements
The PT-SYNC module uses the Leitch DA core control system for cost-effective
basic functionality, which adheres to the Platinum Slot ID and PIPE control
schemes. All settings for the redundancy circuitry are reset to a default
configuration on module insertion.
Installation
All sync modules are installed at the Leitch manufacturing facility. See
“Installing Sync Modules” on page 256 for the procedure for field expansion of
sync modules. If you need to order additional components, please contact your

Input Modules
Overview
This chapter contains both a general description and additional detailed
descriptions of the input modules available for the Platinum router. A General
Description section provides a generic view of how a Platinum input module
operates. Each input module is further described in terms of its individual
operation, controllable parameters, installation, configuration, functional block
diagram, and specifications. Where appropriate, a module’s corresponding back
panel I/O module is identified.

Figure 3-1. Typical Platinum Input Module
• The yellow LED labelled “ACTIN” is the input usage warning. It shows
that the controller has recognized that there is an input on this module being
used by an output.
• The LED labelled “ACTCTRL” is the control system acknowledgment. The
LED shows a steady red when the module is being initialized, and then
turns green when the FPGA has configured and the control system is
communicating with the module. It flashes green if there is an alarm
condition on this module.
The green signal presence LEDs, labeled “Input 1” to “Input 8” (or to “Input
16” on an audio module), are located in a row on the front of the input module.
Each of these LEDs illuminates when a signal is detected on its corresponding
input. There are test points near the front edge of the module for power supply
voltages and GND.
Each input module may be inserted into, or extracted from, a frame while a
frame is powered and functioning. The system controller will recognize the
addition or removal of an input module from any of the input module slots, and
will update the change automatically. When the controller recognizes the
addition of an input module, it will allow the user to control the additional
inputs to the matrix.
When inserted into the frame, each input module mates with a passive connector
assembly (back module), which is mounted in the rear of the frame. This
assembly allows a high integrity interconnect between the input cables and the
input module, without requiring any active components. Frames that are not
fully populated with input modules when shipped from the factory contain
blank covers over the non-populated slots. If an input module is added to the
frame at a future time, the blank cover must be replaced with the corresponding
back module.
Each input module provides signal presence indication via card edge LEDs and
the control software, both of which have the ability to be disabled or enabled
through the control software, along with a user-selectable hysteresis period.
Control Requirements
All settings for the input circuitry are reset to the input slot’s configuration on
module insertion. Settings follow module location, not modules themselves.
This way, modules can be moved from slot to slot without the need to
reconfigure the input parameters.
Applications Integration
The CCS Control System supports each input module via the Navigator
architecture with the router module installed, and is available for control and
monitoring from any Harris- or SNMP-supported control application.

The AES input front module receives any AC-coupled digital signal with
amplitude not exceeding 2V from 2 Mb/s to 25 Mb/s terminated with 75Ω with
the coaxial back module installed, and any digital signal with amplitude not
exceeding 7V from 2 Mb/s to 25 Mb/s terminated with 110Ω with the balanced
back module installed. The front module recovers, reslices, and amplifies the
signal before distributing it to the crosspoint matrix. It allows for the connection
of 8 channels of AES digital audio. Each of the inputs is presented to separate
input buffers, which perform the basic signal recovery and internal conversion
to balanced Low Voltage Differential Signals (LVDS) for use in the
FPGA-based signal presence detection and router distribution circuitry.
Figure 3-13 on page 90 shows the functional block diagram for the AES input
module.The AES input module supports connection of 8 AES channels and
performs basic signal presence detection. The optional 16-channel version
includes the time division multiplexed (TDM) AES routing scheme (see

The AES input front module with TDM capability receives AES3 inputs with
amplitude not exceeding 2 V from 2 Mb/s to 25 Mb/s terminated with 75Ω with
the coaxial back module installed, with amplitude not exceeding 7 V from
2 Mb/s to 25 Mb/s terminated with 110Ω with the balanced back module
installed. The front module recovers, reslices, and amplifies the signal before
distributing it to the router’s matrices. This module provides a TDM version of
all input signals to be distributed to the audio-specific crosspoint module or,
optionally, it can pass the first eight AES inputs to the wideband crosspoint. It
allows for the connection of 16 channels of AES digital audio using either a
balanced or unbalanced coaxial back module, routed within the Platinum
platform. Using the optional 8- or 16-channel 110Ω balanced back module
(PT-AEB-IBP), or 8- or 16-channel 75Ω coaxial unbalanced back module
(PT-AEC-IBP), the AES input front module with TDM will accept up to 16
AES digital audio signals. Each of the inputs is presented to separate input
buffers, which perform the basic signal recovery and internal conversion to
balanced low voltage differential signals (LVDS) for use in the FPGA-based
signal presence detection and router distribution circuitry. Figure 3-17 on
page 98 shows the functional block diagram for the AES input front module
with TDM.

Analog Inputs
The PM-ADC-IB/PT-ADC-IB provides 8 dual channel balanced analog audio
inputs via the PT-A2-BP back module. The standard option provides high
impedance inputs; optional 600Ω terminated inputs are also available. Input
signals are received by high-quality, audio line receivers containing internal
laser-trimmed, matched resistors for maximum common mode rejection. The
signals are converted from balanced to single-ended by the receivers, and are
then attenuated and AC-coupled to the second stage attenuators.
Digitally controlled audio attenuators provide users with the ability to set digital
full scale to a variety of analog audio levels. These low-noise, low distortion
attenuators can be software controlled to provide a wide range of full scale
settings.
The output signals from the second stage are then buffered and converted to
differential signals in preparation for presentation to the converters, along with a
gain adjustment to compensate for the first stage attenuation required prior to
the digital attenuators.
The final analog stage provides low-pass filtering and the addition of a DC
offset before presenting the audio signal to the A/D converter.
A/D Conversion
Analog-to-digital conversion is provided by quad channel 24-bit oversampling
delta-sigma converters supporting sampling frequencies up to 192 kHz. These
converters provide DC bias voltage outputs, digital decimation and high pass
filtering, and audio input clipping detection.
AES Outputs
The FPGA receives the audio samples from the converters where they are
formatted into AES data streams. The FPGA inserts channel status, parity, and
CRC bits, and then encodes the data into biphase AES signals. Two copies of
each AES signal are provided as AC coupled LVDS for distribution to the
Platinum crosspoints.
Reporting
Each channel will provide standard reporting of signal presence using card-edge
mounted LEDs.
• Eight green signal presence LEDs, labeled “Input 1” to “Input 8,” are
located in a row on the front of the input module. Each of these LEDs
illuminates when a signal is detected on its corresponding input.
• Eight red signal clipping LEDs, labeled “Input 1” to “Input 8,” are located
in a row on the front of the input module. Each of these LEDs illuminates
when a signal on the input exceeds the maximum input amplitude.
In addition, the usual three system LEDs are included See page 66 through
page 67 for a description of the system LEDs.

• The red signal clipping LEDs, labeled “Input 1” to “Input 16,” are located in
a row on the front of the input module. Each of these LEDs illuminates
when a signal on the input exceeds the maximum input amplitude or level
adjust available through TDM scales the digital signal beyond AES limits.
In addition, the usual three system LEDs are included See page 66 through
page 67 for a description of the system LEDs.
Operating Modes
The PM-ADCT-IB/PT-ADCT-IB operates in one of three modes: External,
internal, and auto mode:.
• In external mode, all necessary sampling clocks are derived from an
external AES reference (DARS). The resulting AES streams generated from
the sampled analog audio inputs will be locked in both frequency and phase
to this external reference.
• In internal mode, all necessary sampling clocks are derived from internal
oscillators. These oscillators have been chosen to provide for many of the
most common AES frame rates (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96
kHz, and 192 kHz). Voltage-controlled crystal oscillators, or VCXOs, allow
adjustment of these internally generated sampling clocks within a specified
tolerance.
• In auto mode, the PM-ADCT-IB/PT-ADCT-IB detects whether a usable
external reference is present or not. If it is able to lock to the reference, it
will operate as described in External mode; however, if the reference is lost
or becomes unusable, the PM-ADCT-IB/PT-ADCT-IB will automatically
switch over to operate as described in Internal Mode. If the reference is
restored, the board will again automatically switch over to operate as
described in External Mode.
Analog Level Detection
Analog input level detection is provided in two forms:
• The first implementation is through the use of rectifier and comparator
circuits that are used to detect a user-defined minimum signal amplitude.
This minimum amplitude is conveyed via a nonvolatile, digitally controlled
potentiometer that provides the reference voltage to the comparators. (The
reference voltage can be individually set for channels A and B on all
inputs.) If the amplitude of the input signal exceeds the comparator
reference voltage, the green LED for that channel is illuminated.
If the signal level falls below the minimum threshold for a user-defined time
duration, the sampled data output from the A/D converter will be
overwritten by all zeroes within the FPGA. This greatly reduces idle
channel noise in systems using A/D and D/A converters. Conversely, the
detection of a signal above the minimum threshold value also has an
associated time duration before muting is released, providing hysteresis to
this function.

The AES output module allows for the connection of 8 or (optionally) 16 output
channels of AES digital audio, using either a balanced or coaxial back module
within the Platinum platform, and is available as a 16-channel card supporting
Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) AES routing.
The module receives 32 balanced low voltage differential signals (LVDS) from
the crosspoint matrix, which are presented to 8 separate 4×1 multiplexers that
determine the final routing of the signal to its destined output channel. Along
with the octal 4×1 muxes, signal level conversion and presence detection are
handled within an FPGA-based circuit. The 16-channel TDM version uses only
one high speed LVDS signal to receive the various AES signals for presentation
at the outputs.
The AES output module also provides output presence detection and true output
monitoring on each of the 8 (or 16) channels.

The advanced TDM crosspoint module switches audio signals from input
modules and distributes them to output modules, via a proprietary time-division
multiplexed transport scheme. It offers advanced parametric transition type
functions such as quiet switching, V-fade, fade-cut, cut-fade, and synchronous
switching. (The cut associated with the fade-cut and cut-fade settings are
minimum duration fades to eliminate audible switching artifacts.) It also allows
for certain audio effects for a given destination.
The advanced TDM crosspoint module is available in the following sizes:
• PM-ATDM9-X5
The PM-ATDM9-X5crosspoint module switches signals accepted from
input modules and distributes these signals to output modules. It also

a 9×8 I/O signal switch fabric as well as additional auxiliary crosspoint
switch capability. This crosspoint module can be used in 5RU frames only.
On 5RU Platinum frames with TDM, the sync capability is built into the
crosspoint module, so a separate sync module is not required. Sync module
operation is the same as that of the PT-SYNC module used with other
Platinum frames. See page 57 for a description of the sync module
operation.
PM-ATDM16-X9
The PM-ATDM16-X9 crosspoint module switches signals accepted from input
modules and distributes these signals to output modules. It also switches

modules and distributes these signals to output modules. It also switches
auxiliary signals. The PT-ATDM16-X15 crosspoint matrix contains a 16×16 I/O
signal switch fabric as well as additional auxiliary crosspoint switch capability
This crosspoint module can be used in 15RU or 9RU frames.
PT-ATDM32-X15

Preliminary—Contents are proprietary and confidential. Do not photocopy or distribute.
The Platinum frame includes two slots for TDM crosspoint modules. One slot
holds the primary, or active, crosspoint module. The second slot holds an
optional secondary, or “shadow” module, which shadows all operations of the
active module so as to allow it to become active in case the active module is
removed or halted due to error. The shadow module sets its outputs to a
high-impedance state until it becomes active, but otherwise performs all
operations in parallel with the primary crosspoint module.
The TDM crosspoint modules, in conjunction with the Platinum resource
module, determine which slot contains the active module. The modules report
their current status (primary or secondary) to the control system. Appropriate
watchdog circuitry on the module and/or status monitoring on the resource
module will monitor the status of the primary module. It is not necessary to
remove the primary module to cause the secondary module to become active.
Each output may be set independently to the high-impedance state. If an active

Replacing Fans
A fan module is supplied with every Platinum frame (two fan modules are
supplied with the 28RU frame). In case of a fan failure, only individual fans will
need replacement; the entire fan module will not need to be replaced. However,
the locking 3-pin connectors must be disconnected from the fans when
removing a fan, and must be reconnected when installing a fan. On PM-FAN-5
modules, fan noise settings are adjusted via the PM-ALARM-5 module. (See
“Controlling Fan Speed” on page 35 for more information.) On PM-FAN-8,
PT-FAN-14, or PT-FAN-16 modules, fan noise may be reduced by adjusting the
potentiometer at each fan location. This will reduce air flow through the frame.
(This is not recommended in some applications. Please contact Customer
Service for more detailed information.)
Fan replacement is shown in Figure 7-11.
CAUTION
When removing a fan connection, make sure the locking
ramp of the connector is completely disengaged before
you remove the connector. Otherwise, you may damage
the fan module.
Configuration
See page 35 for fan speed and alarm configuration settings needed for
PM-FAN-5 modules. There are no configuration settings needed for
PM-FAN-8, PT-FAN-14, or PT-FAN-16 modules.

WARNING
Potentially lethal voltages are present within the Platinum
frame during normal operation. Disconnect all power
cords from the frame before you remove the top panel. Do
not apply power to the frame while the top is open unless
the unit is being serviced by properly trained personnel.
You can configure Platinum modules via several different methods: card-edge
controls, local and remote panels, and certain GUI-based software applications.
This chapter describes the configuration tools and procedures for configuring a
Platinum router via card-edge controls and RouterMapper configuration utility
software. The following topics are covered in this chapter:
• “Card-Edge Controls” on page 268
• “Configuration via RouterMapper” on page 276
• “Frame Controllable Parameters” on page 271
CAUTION
We recommend that you test your system before its final
installation. Make sure you verify its configuration,
cabling, and proper system operation. Observe proper
anti-static and grounding procedures while handling loose
boards and servicing the equipment.

Chapter 8: Configuration
Card-Edge Controls
Using the Card-Edge Controls
The card-edge controls for Platinum modules are located just behind the front
panel of the frame. The controls consist of these items, from left to right:
• Display screen
• Escape button
• Nav+ (up)/Nav- (down) toggle switch
• Enter button
Whether you use the card edge, a software control application, or a control
panel, the options and variable values on Platinum modules are known as
parameters.
Read-Only Parameters
Since you cannot change read-only parameters using card-edge controls, a lock
icon appears beside them on the display screen.
Adjustable Parameters
You can change two types of adjustable parameters using the card-edge
controls: numeric parameters and selectable parameters
Numeric parameter changes are always immediate. You can make selectable
parameters either Delayed or Immediate. When set to Delayed, the parameter
changes will not take effect until you press the Enter button.
Because of the small size of the card-edge display screen, only two lines of
information appear at any time. When an up or down arrow appears in the
display screen, it indicates that there are more items in the list. When both an up
and down arrow appear, there are list items both above and below the displayed
items.

Preliminary—Contents are proprietary and confidential. Do not photocopy or distribute.
Chapter 8: Configuration
Once you scroll to the end of a list, the items will wrap to the top or bottom and
begin the list over again. Wrapping is only available from the card edge.
Parameters that normally wrap when adjusted via the card edge will clip when
adjusted using a control software application.
Operation Notes
When using a Platinum module, observe the following operation notes:
• Although the effect of a parameter change may appear to be immediate, the
module requires 20 seconds to save the latest change. If another change is
made during these 20 seconds, the first parameter change and the second
parameter change will not be saved until 20 seconds after the second
parameter change. There is no limit to the number of changes that can be
made within 20 seconds of each other. However, none of these changes will
be saved until 20 seconds after the last parameter change.
• Each module automatically sets its parameters to the ones saved last.
CAUTION
Failure to observe these Operation Notes will result in
accidental changes to the module’s parameter settings.

Terminal Operation
Overview
A separate serial control port is used to control a Platinum router from an
external computer or automation system. The serial port may be used to monitor
the system matrix configuration, determine the current status of crosspoint
connections, change crosspoint connections in any matrix, and setup
pre-programmed crosspoint takes sequences, or salvos. These (and other)
operations are assigned to the serial port via a series of commands called
“terminal operation” commands. You can find a list of the terminal commands
available for the Platinum router starting on page 284.

Appendix B
Laser Safety Guidelines
Optical fiber telecommunication systems, their associated test sets, and similar
operating systems use semiconductor laser transmitters that emit infrared (IR)
light at wavelengths between approximately 800 nanometers and 1600
nanometers. The emitted light is above the red end of the visible spectrum,
which is normally not visible to the human eye. Although radiant energy at
near-IR wavelengths is officially designated invisible, some people can see the
shorter wavelength energy even at power levels several orders of magnitude
below any that have been shown to cause injury to the eye.
Conventional lasers can produce an intense beam of monochromatic light. (The
term “monochromaticity” means a single wavelength output of pure color that
may be visible or invisible to the eye.) A conventional laser produces a
small-sized beam of light, and because the beam size is small the power density
(also called “irradiance”) is very high. Consequently, for their safe operation,
lasers and laser products are subject to federal and applicable state (USA)
regulations, as well as international standards.
A conventional laser beam expands very little over distance, or is said to be very
well “collimated”; thus, conventional laser irradiance remains relatively
constant over distance. Lasers used in lightwave systems, however, have a large
beam divergence, which is typically 10 to 20 degrees. Here, irradiance obeys the
inverse square law (doubling the distance reduces the irradiance by a factor of
4) and rapidly decreases over distance.

Classification of Lasers
Manufacturers of lasers and laser products in the U.S. are regulated by the Food
and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health
(FDA/CDRH) under 21 CFR 1040. These regulations require manufacturers to
certify each laser or laser product as belonging to one of four major Classes: I,
II, IIa, IIIa, IIIb, or IV.
The International Electro-Technical Commission is an international standards
body that writes laser safety standards under IEC-60825. Classification schemes
are similar with Classes divided into Classes 1, 2, 3A, 3B, and 4.
Lasers are classified according to the accessible emission limits and their
potential for causing injury. Optical fiber telecommunication systems are
generally classified as Class I/1 because, under normal operating conditions, all
energized laser transmitting modules are terminated on optical fibers which
enclose the laser energy with the fiber sheath forming a protective housing.
Also, a protective housing / access panel is typically installed in front of the laser
modules frames. The modules themselves, however, may be FDA/CDRH Class
I or IIIb; or IEC Class 1, 3A, or 3B.

Laser Safety
WARNING
Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than
those specified in this document may result in hazardous
laser radiation exposure.
3. Since viewing laser emissions directly in excess of Class I/1 limits with an
optical instrument such as an eye loupe greatly increases the risk of eye
damage, appropriate labels must appear in plain view, in close proximity to
the optical port on the protective housing / access panel of the terminal
equipment.
WARNING
Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a
microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to
stare at the energized fiber end.
CAUTION
Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to
do service, maintenance, and restoration.
