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.

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

Front Panel LED Indicators


The front panel LED indicators originate on the resource module(s) and power
supply module(s).
• Status LEDs indicate power supply status, resource module usage, and link
light indicators for Ethernet communications ports.
• Alarm LEDs indicate user-defined alarm conditions.
The LEDs on the front of these two module types shine through a lens in the
front panel door. These LED indicators are shown in Figure 1-8.
These front panel LED indicators reflect the status of subsystems inside the
frame. The indicators for each power supply provide information on each
voltage rail and the power supply’s fan. The indicators from each resource
module provide status information of the frame’s resource module. These
indicators are lit green when the system is functioning properly and red if a
failure condition exists.

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.

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

20 Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual


Preliminary—Contents are proprietary and confidential. Do not photocopy or distribute.

Chapter 1: Introduction

• Hardware, software, and firmware revision(s) for each installed component


• Condition (operational/standby/fault) of each device
Parametric
The control system can report and set, as appropriate, information about
configuration (or can provide the status) of all components involved in signal
switching, processing, or monitoring, such as
• Status of all controllable or readable settings/values on installed
components
These settings and values include all parameters affecting the signal path
(e.g. processing settings such as EQ, gain, reclocker) or otherwise related to
the signal path (e.g., signal presence; reclocker lock; sync signal presence,
type, and lock).

Note
Other than physical frame failure alarms (e.g. fans, power supplies,
etc.), no default alarms are specified.

• “Logical” configuration of the signal components (e.g. partitioning, offsets)


• All parameters may be defined as alarms with user-definable alarm states.
• All alarms support user-settable threshold and hysteresis with local and
remote alarm acknowledgement and disable functionality.

CCS Control System Integration Requirements


The Platinum router is supported by the CCS Navigator architecture with the
router module installed. Also, support for SNMP interface is routed directly to
the frame; no gateway is required.

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
condition of all frame related status information, such as
• Upper-, lower-, and control-fan group alarms
• Power supply operation for all installed power supplies
• Condition of power supply voltage rails
• Internal temperature of frame
• External ambient temperature

Control Subsystem
The control subsystem consists of components such as resource modules and
associated firmware/software programs, coprocessor hardware and associated
firmware/software programs, and the internal (to the product) networks
responsible for their communications.

PM5-CBP/PT-CBP: Communications Back Panel


Module
Operation

Figure 2-1. PM5-CBP/PT-CBP Communications Back Panel

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.

Chapter 2: Frame Modules

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).

PT-RES: Platinum Resource Module


Operation

Figure 2-2. PT-RES Resource Module

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.

Chapter 2: Frame Modules

The PT-RES module, and necessary communications between the crosspoint


and I/O, support line accurate switching per RP-168. Switch setting resolution is
in banks of 8 outputs (e.g., outputs 1-8 switches referenced to sync 1, outputs
9-16 switches referenced to sync 2, outputs 17-512 switches referenced sync 3,
etc.). For customers not using RP-168, the Platinum router supports “advanced”
reference configuration, allowing the customer to set the time from the
incoming sync pulse for switching.
Each PT-RES module contains a card-edge control interface for frame
configuration, and has LED indicators for the following:
• The green LED labelled “POWER” is the power supply indicator. It shows
that power is present on the module and that the +24V power rails are
operational.
• The green LED labelled “ACT RES” is the active resource module indicator
This LED shows which module is active in redundant configurations. It also
blinks to indicate when the inactive module is downloading information
from the active module.
• The green LED labeled “ENET LINK” displays the standard Ethernet link
LED (in addition to the Link LED present on the connector at the rear of the
frame).
• The two yellow and red LEDs labeled “ALARM” indicate user-defined
alarm conditions.

Caution
Both alarm LEDs simultaneously flashing red indicates that the
PT-RES resource module has experienced a failure condition and

PM-ALARM-5: Alarm Module for 5RU Frames


Operation

Figure 2-3. PM-ALARM-5 Module

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.

Controlling Fan Speed


The PM-ALARM-5 module allows you to control the speed of PM-FAN-5 via
RouterMapper configuration utility software. The selectable fan speeds are
OFF, low, medium, and high. To set the fan speed parameters, you must access
the control components (listed on the Detected Matrices tab of the

Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual 35

Chapter 2: Frame Modules

corresponding Platinum frame). Follow the appropriate steps (as described in


the RouterMapper Configuration Utility Reference Guide) to open the Module
Parameters list box, and then change the Fan Speed_x parameter instance to the
desired setting.

Reporting Alarms and Fan Failures


The PM-ALARM-5 monitors the status signal of core components and report
any instance of a critical failure. Reporting is done internally (through controls)
and externally (via relay contact closure and illuminated red LEDs).

Figure 2-4. PM-ALARM-5 LEDs

The PM-ALARM-5 module provides eight alarm outputs:


• Four user-definable internal alarms
On user-defined outputs 1 through 4, the alarm module communicates
directly to the resource module via the PRTI interface.This communication
provides you with access to any status signal reported within the entire
Platinum system.
• Two user-definable remote input failure alarms
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.
• One power supply failure alarm
Each power supply will provide a presence signal and four critical alarm
signals: +24VA, +24VB, +5VL, and PS-FAN. All four components are
critical to power supply and frame operation. If any the components reports
a failure, a red LED will be illuminated to signal the critical fault. An LED
that is not illuminated indicates that no alarm conditions exist.
• One fan failure alarm
The PM-FAN-5 fan module reports an alarm for each of 6 fans. On the
PM-FAN-5 module, there is one LED for each fan. When a fan failure alarm
occurs, you will be able to determine the fan failure by the color of the
corresponding LED.

Chapter 2: Frame Modules

• A green LED indicates that all fans are operational.


• A red LED indicates that at least one fan is not operational.
• An LED that is not illuminated indicates that fans have been turned off.
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:

Table 2-3. Alarm Conditions


Alarm Condition Description
PS fail Alarm asserted in the event of a power supply failure (in
systems with multiple power supplies, the alarm will be
asserted if any power supply fails)
Fan (module) fail Alarm asserted in the event of a failure of the frame
cooling fans
User-defined outputs 1-4 Provide the ability to monitor legacy equipment
alarm/failures and report those failures through control
software
Remote inputs 1-2 Provide access to any status signal reported within the
Platinum system

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.

28RU Frames
Operation

Figure 2-6. PT-ALARM Module

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).

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.

PM5-PD/PT-PD: Power Distribution Module


Operation

Figure 2-9. PM5-PD/PT-PD Power Distribution Module

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.

See “Installing Power Supplies” on page 260 for more information about power distribution
zones.

Chapter 2: Frame Modules

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.

PT-EXPS: External Power Supply Frame


Operation

Figure 2-10. PT-EXPS External Power Supply Frame

Note
External redundancy is not needed on 5RU or 9RU frames. These frame
sizes already support the necessary number of redundant power
supplies.

The optional external power supply frame (PT-EXPS) provides 2N power


redundancy for expansion in high power applications. This frame holds up to
four power supplies. Each of these four supplies connect to the Platinum frame
via individual cables carrying two +24 volt rails, the +5 VL rail, and alarm
signal lines. The 15RU frames support one PT-EXPS, while the 28RU frame
supports two (one connected at the top and the other at the bottom of the 28RU
frame). Call your Customer Service representative for more information.

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

This installation offers the optimal connection scheme. For non-standard


installation, extension cables are also available that allow the PT-EXPS unit to
be located up to 5 feet from the connection point of the Platinum frame. Consult
you Customer Service representative for non-standard installations.
This option is not user-upgradeable. For further assistance regarding PT-EXPS
installation, please contact our Customer Service Department.

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.

PM-FAN-5: Fan Module for 5RU Frames


Operation

Figure 2-11. PM-FAN-5 Fan Module

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.

Operation

Figure 2-12. Platinum Fan Module (PT-FAN-16 Shown)

Note
In case of a fan failure, only individual fans will need replacement; the
entire fan module will not need to be replaced.

The Platinum fan module contains 8, 14 or 16 fans per module.


• A 9RU frame requires one PM-FAN-8 module.
• A 15RU frame requires one PT-FAN-16 module.
• A 28RU frame requires one PT-FAN-14 and one PT-FAN-16 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 PT-ALARM 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.
Fan modules maintain a constant speed and air flow whenever a frame is
powered. The fans are grouped by power zone, so that each group of fans is
responsible for cooling modules within a particular zone. 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.

PT-SYNC: Sync Module


Operation

Figure 2-13. PT-SYNC Module

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

Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual 57


Preliminary—Contents are proprietary and confidential. Do not photocopy or distribute.

Chapter 2: Frame Modules

28RU Platinum router, a PT-SYNC module is required to distribute


synchronizing information. Sync 4 will be unavailable for external inputs and
will be used for internal synchronization. In addition, an AES reference is
required to synchronize the TDM I/O modules. This reference can be a DAR
signal or derived from a video input.
Using both a Slot ID scheme and Inhibit signal, the PT-SYNC module is able to
establish a primary/secondary redundancy with a second module. Upon failure
of the primary module, it tri-states its outputs and passes functionality to the
secondary module.
Additional card-edge LEDs include the following:
• The green LED labelled “POWER” is the power supply indicator. It shows
that power is present on the module and that the +24 V power rails are
operational.
• The LED labelled “ACT CTRL” 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 LED labelled “ACT CARD” indicates that the PT-SYNC module is in
the primary mode and actively distributing the sync signals. (In certain
failure modes, the module will still distribute sync signal even if the
ACT-CARD LED is not lit on either module.
Along with these LEDs, there are power and ground test points accessible on the
front portion of the board for troubleshooting and verification.
All Platinum frames support redundant sync distribution modules. Since the
PT-SYNC can operate in a redundant configuration, it has the capability of
“tristating” the sync outputs when the redundant card is present, and to
seamlessly switch over when the redundant card fails or is removed.
Table 2-10 shows the sync reference types and default switch points supported
by Platinum.

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
Leitch dealer or the Leitch Sales Department.

Figure 3-1. Typical Platinum Input Module

The hot-swappable Platinum input module contains 8 video input or 16 audio


input channels, each of which are recovered and distributed to the crosspoint
matrix module or audio TDM module.
There are three system indicator LEDs on the front edge of the module:
• The green LED labelled “POWER” is the power supply indicator. It shows
that +24V is present on the module.

66 Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual


Preliminary—Contents are proprietary and confidential. Do not photocopy or distribute.

Chapter 3: Input Modules

• 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.

Note
PM- series modules operate in 5RU and 9RU frames only. PT- series
modules operate in PT- series modules operate in 5RU, 9RU, 15RU, and
28RU frames.

The PM-S-IB/PT-S-IB digital multirate input module receives any AC coupled


digital signal with amplitude not exceeding 880 mV from 3 Mb/s to 540 Mb/s
terminated with 75Ω. The module automatically compensates the cable loss if
the cable length is within the assigned limitation. The equalized output is split
into two identical data streams and fed to the MI module via a module edge
connector.
If the amplitude of the input data is smaller than the limitation (i.e., the cable is
longer than the limitation), the EQ output will be muted and no data will be fed
to the MI module.

Chapter 3: Input Modules

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
page 94).

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

Decoder Input Modules
Operation

Figure 3-18. PM-DEC-IB/PT-DEC-IB Analog Video to SDI Decoder Input Module

Note
PM- series modules operate in 5RU and 9RU frames only. PT- series
modules operate in 5RU, 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames.

The PM-DEC-IB/PT-DEC-IB analog video to SDI decoder input module


converts a block of eight composite NTSC or PAL video signals to high quality,
10-bit serial digital signals (SDI) for routing within the Platinum platform. This
module also may be used for “analog to analog” video routing with the optional
PM-ENC-OB or PT-ENC-OB encoder output module.
Hardware Reporting
Each of the eight channels will provide standard reporting of signal presence
using a card-edge mounted LED1 in each channel for on-site troubleshooting
and via the frame control system. These additional system LEDs are available:
• Power supply indicator
• Control system acknowledgment
• Input usage warning

page 66 through page 67 for more information about input module LEDs.

Chapter 3: Input Modules

Composite Analog Input Processing


The PM-DEC-IB/PT-DEC-IB accepts eight 1 Vpp analog NTSC or PAL video
signals terminating into 75Ω BNC connectors. Using the built-in automatic
(AGC) or manual gain settings, the input signal level can be adjusted ±6 dB in
each channel to compensate for variances in upstream equipment. As well, each
input is “back-porch” clamped to the proper blanking level prior to conversion
in the analog to digital converter (ADC) and offers the ability to handle signals
with a luminance pedestal (+7.5 IRE Setup).
Composite Analog to Digital Conversion
Once the analog clamping and level processing has taken place, each channel of
video is presented to a 10-bit analog to digital converter, which is phase and
frequency locked by an internal PLL. Considering that the desired conversion is
to component digital on this card, the analog to digital converters are 2X
oversampling at 27MHz (4:2:2 data rate of 13.5MHz times 2). As a benefit of
the 2X oversampling, a half-band decimation filter is applied right after the
digital conversion to reduce the data rate to 1X the pixel rate, which effectively
adds up to 3dB to the overall signal to noise ratio (SNR). Although sampled at a
component data rate, the digitized composite signal is band pass filtered into
separate luminance and chrominance channels (Y/C). The chrominance channel
is sent through a quadrature demodulator for further separation into the base
component color difference channels (R - Y / B - Y). As the color demodulation
process is likely to cause artifacts in the video, the R - Y and B - Y signals are
sent through low-pass filters to reduce those artifacts and achieve optimum
bandwidth, and through a five-line adaptive comb filter to compare possible
color phase shift issues from line to line. As the next step in the color
demodulation process, a color space converter is used to convert the red and
blue color components to U and V color difference components (Cr /Cb) as
needed for ITU-R 601i and SMPTE-125M type signals.
The RGB to YUV color space conversion is defined in the following system of
equations:
• Y = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B
• U = -0.172R - 0.339G + 0.511B + 512
• V = 0.511R - 0.428G - 0.083B + 512
In cases where the U/V bandwidth needs to be limited, as to prevent aliasing or
chrominance crosstalk, a set of user-adjustable notch filters is provided.
Although more of an issue in the companion encoder / digital to analog (DAC)
cards, careful attention has to be paid to the implementation of these filters as a
tradeoff between frequency response and out of band noise is often encountered.
In the interest of keeping the luminance or Y signal bandwidth, a peaking filter
is available to the user. There are also controls for the user to set the brightness,
contrast, sharpness, color saturation, and hue of the incoming video signal.
Once the chrominance signals have been processed, they are reunited with the
luminance (Y) channel to complete the 10-bit YUV component digital signal.

Component Digital Packaging


The parallel 10-bit component output of the ADC conversion is presented to the
next process, where it is packaged with the digitized sync information and given
the proper start of active video (SAV) and end of active video (EAV) headers for
a SMPTE-125M compliant parallel output signal. Along with the parallel 10-bit
video signal, a 27 MHz clock signal is provided for latching the data words in
the downstream serializer device.
Parallel to Serial Converter
The parallel 10-bit video and clock signal are presented to the FPGA-based
serializer for conversion to SMPTE-259C serial digital component video at 270
Mb/s. The 10-bit parallel word is latched into the serializer on the rising edge of
the accompanying 27 MHz clock signal and serialized at 10 times the data rate
(270 MB/s). As the serial data is used to clock downstream devices, the serial
signal is scrambled and encoded using a non-return to zero (NRZI) algorithm to
ensure that clock transitions occur during long periods of all 1s or 0s to keep the
receiving PLLs locked.
The NRZI / scramble polynomial is defined as
G1 (X) = X9 + X4 + 1 and G2 (X) = X + 1
The completed NRZI serial signal is buffered into two copies of itself for
distribution to the crosspoint module(s) within the Platinum frame.

PM-ADC-IB/PT-ADC-IB: Audio A/D Input Modules


Operation

Figure 3-20. PM-ADC-IB/PT-ADC-IB Audio A/D Input Module

Note
PM- series modules operate in 5RU and 9RU frames only. PT- series
modules operate in 5RU, 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames.

The PM-ADC-IB/PT-ADC-IB audio A/D input module provides analog audio


to AES digital audio conversion within the Platinum routing system. Two
optional builds (one option with High Z inputs, the other with 600Ω terminated
inputs) provide 8 stereo channels of conversion with standard Platinum I/O
module features.
To reduce idle channel noise in systems using A/D and D/A converters, audio
level sensing circuitry is included that will mute the output (i.e., set all sample
data = 0) when the analog input is lost. The level at which input signal presence
is determined is user adjustable, and includes a minimal level which effectively
disables the function. The duration for which this minimum amplitude is
maintained before muting occurs is also user-defined.
The PM-ADC-IB/PT-ADC-IB can automatically detect an external AES
reference signal (DARS), to derive the required sampling clocks and generate
AES streams that are locked in both frequency and phase to this external
reference signal. When this reference signal is absent, the
PM-ADC-IB/PT-ADC-IB generates the necessary sampling clocks at one of
several of the most common AES frame rates. Users will have the ability to
adjust these internally generated sampling clock frequencies within a specified
tolerance.

Chapter 3: Input Modules

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.
Operating Modes
The PM-ADC-IB/PT-ADC-IB operates in one of three modes: External,
internal, and auto mode:.

Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual 111
Preliminary—Contents are proprietary and confidential. Do not photocopy or distribute.

Chapter 3: Input Modules

• 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-ADC-IB/PT-ADC-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-ADC-IB/PT-ADC-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 second implementation of analog level detection is performed in the
A/D converter. When the analog level exceeds the digital full-scale
capability of the converter, the red Clipping LED for that channel is
illuminated, and the condition is reported to the control system. The user
has the option of defining whether this condition constitutes an alarm.

PM-ADCT-IB/PT-ADCT-IB: Audio A/D Input


Modules with TDM Capability
Operation

Figure 3-23. PM-ADCT-IB/PT-ADCT-IB Audio A/D Input Module

Note
PM- series modules operate in 5RU and 9RU frames only. PT- series
modules operate in 5RU, 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames.

The PM-ADCT-IB/PT-ADCT-IB audio A/D input module provides analog


audio to AES digital audio conversion within the Platinum routing system. Two
optional builds (one option with High Z inputs, the other with 600Ω terminated
inputs) provide 16 stereo channels of conversion with standard Platinum I/O
module features. This option will provide the user higher conversion capacity
(16 stereo channels), made available via Harris’s TDM (Time Division
Multiplexing) architecture.
To reduce idle channel noise in systems using A/D and D/A converters, audio
level sensing circuitry is included that will mute the output (i.e., set all sample
data = 0) when the analog input is lost. The level at which input signal presence
is determined is user adjustable, and includes a minimal level which effectively
disables the function. The duration for which this minimum amplitude is
maintained before muting occurs is also user-defined.

Chapter 3: Input Modules

The PM-ADCT-IB/PT-ADCT-IB can automatically detect an external AES


reference signal (DARS), to derive the required sampling clocks and generate
AES streams that are locked in both frequency and phase to this external
reference signal. When this reference signal is absent, the
PM-ADCT-IB/PT-ADCT-IB generates the necessary sampling clocks at one of
several of the most common AES frame rates. Users will have the ability to
adjust these internally generated sampling clock frequencies within a specified
tolerance.
Analog Inputs
The PM-ADCT-IB/PT-ADCT-IB provides 16 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
the first eight AES signals are provided as AC coupled LVDS for distribution to
the wideband Platinum crosspoints. The FPGA also provides a TDM version of
all sixteen AES signals for distribution to the audio-specific crosspoint
module(s).
Reporting
Each channel will provide standard reporting of signal presence using card-edge
mounted LEDs.
• The green signal presence 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 is detected on its corresponding input.

Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual 121
Preliminary—Contents are proprietary and confidential. Do not photocopy or distribute.

Chapter 3: Input Modules

• 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.

Chapter 3: Input Modules

• The second implementation of analog level detection is performed in the


A/D converter. When the analog level exceeds the digital full-scale
capability of the converter, the red Clipping LED for that channel is
illuminated, and the condition is reported to the control system. The user
has the option of defining whether this condition constitutes an alarm.

Figure 3-26. PT-HS1310S-IB Fiber Optical HD / SD Serial Video Receiver


(PT-FO-BMI Back Panel I/O Module Attached)

The PT-HS1310S-IB is a fiber optical HD/SD serial video receiver module.


These modules have eight fiber optical receiver receptacles mounted on the
metal back panel of the back module. Each receptacle contains an ST connector,
a PIN type photodiode, and a transimpedance amplifier. The receptacle receives
light modulated by digital video data in the range of 1100 nm–1650 nm, and
converts it to an electrical signal via the internal PIN. An internal
transimpedance amplifier amplifies this electrical signal to obtain the required
amplitude for the following processing stage. The following stage consists of a
limiting amplifier, which enlarges the electrical data to an 800 mV differential
signal and feeds it to the front module.
The front module receives eight-channel data through the module edge
connector. Each channel is equipped with a 2×2 CML crosspoint switch, which
is configured to 1×2.The outputs of this CML are sent out to PT-MI AND PT-XP
for switching. If the input of this 1×2 selects a data from system FB (via an
optional 1-8 buffer), the CML outputs to the module interconnect and crosspoint
modules could be used for system test and diagnosis purpose.
The output stage of this switch also provides a function of pre-emphasis.This
function precompensates the transmission line loss for high-speed data, to
reduce ISI jitter. The limiting amplifier in each channel of the back module
provides an input data loss report.It is used to drive LEDs on the front edge of
the front module.

Chapter 4: Output Modules

An output module accepts 32 signals from the crosspoint matrix. A secondary


switching circuit then selects 8 of these 32 signals to be driven out of the output
module. Each output channel also contains an output monitoring path which
feeds the output signal seen on any channel back to the crosspoint matrix for
output monitoring. The output monitoring signal is then fed to an optional
rear-mounted output monitoring card. The output monitoring matrix is
controlled though the system controller. The TDM matrix allows an audio
output module to drive 16 outputs.
There are three system indicator LEDs on the front edge of the module:
• The green LED labelled “POWER” is the power supply indicator. It shows
that +24V is present on the module.
• The yellow LED labelled “ACT OUT” is the active output warning. It
shows that an active input signal is being switched to this output module.
• The LED labelled “ACT CTRL” 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 LEDs located on the front of the card, one for each output, indicate its
associated output has a valid signal present. One small red LED located on top
of the PCB is illuminated briefly during power up (or module insertion into a
powered frame), and indicates that configuration of the control interface FPGA
is in process.
On PM-FO-OB and PT-HSR1310S-OB modules, channel status LEDs are
bicolor (green and red). See Table 4-30 on page 205 for descriptions.
Test points for power and GND are located near the front edge of the card.
There are no user-settable switches or controls on this module. All settings for
this module are set through the system controller.

Chapter 4: Output Modules

The HD-SD digital multirate output module comes in these variations:


• The PM-HSR-OB and PT-HSR-OB are HD-SD output modules with
reclocking.
• The PM-HSR-DOB and PT-HSR-DOB are HD-SD output modules with
reclocking and dual outputs. They are functionally identical to the
PM-HSR-OB and PT-HSR-OB; however, the PM-HSR-DOB and
PT-HSR-DOB have two outputs for each channel and each
PM-HSR-DOB/PT-HSR-DOB module occupies two slots.
The PT-HSR-OB/PT-HSR-DOB digital multirate output module receives 32
digital differential signal pairs (3 Mb/s to 1.5 Gb/s) from the crosspoint matrix,
provides secondary switching, reclocks the SMPTE and ASI signals, and sends
them to the drivers designed to drive 75Ω loads. It supports any digital signal
between 3 Mb/s and 1.5 Gb/s, with reclocking for standard SMPTE data rates in
this range. The reclocker works in one of four modes: automatic, manual,
bypass, and mute. These modes are described in Table 4-2. An 8×1 differential
crosspoint selects the output monitoring signal.

Table 4-2. Reclocker Operating Modes


Mode Name Description Note
Automatic The reclocker attempts to reclock the received data at its data rate if the received Default
data rate is one of 143 Mb/s, 270 Mb/s, 360 Mb/s, 540 Mb/s and 1.485 Gb/s. If this
reclocking is successful, the corresponding signal presence LED is illuminated and
the reclocked rate is reported.
143 Mb/s The reclocker is set to attempt to reclock the input data at 143 Mb/s only. If this Manual mode
reclocking is successful, the corresponding signal presence LED is illuminated.
177 Mb/s The reclocker is set to attempt to reclock the input data at 177 Mb/s only. If this Manual mode
reclocking is successful, the corresponding signal presence LED is illuminated.
270 Mb/s The reclocker is set to attempt to reclock the input data at 270 Mb/s only. If this Manual mode
reclocking is successful, the corresponding signal presence LED is illuminated.
360 Mb/s The reclocker is set to attempt to reclock the input data at 360 Mb/s only. If this Manual mode
reclocking is successful, the corresponding signal presence LED is illuminated.
540 Mb/s The reclocker is set to attempt to reclock the input data at 540 Mb/s only. If this Manual mode
reclocking is successful, the corresponding signal presence LED is illuminated.
1.485 Gb/s The reclocker is set to attempt to reclock the input data at 1.485 Gb/s only. If this Manual mode
reclocking is successful, the corresponding signal presence LED is illuminated.
Automatic bypass If reclocking is not successful, received data appears at the output of the reclocker Default
without any reclock processing. The corresponding signal presence LED is turned off.
Forced bypass The received data bypasses the reclock processing and appears at the output of the —
reclocker, regardless of whether the data is reclockable. The corresponding signal
presence LED is turned off.
Automatic mute No data appears at the output of the reclocker if the signal on the corresponding Default
input is absent, or this output channel is not selected. The corresponding signal
presence LED is turned off. (This mode can be disabled if necessary.)
Forced mute No data appears at the output of the reclocker regardless of the system switch —
setting, data status, or other setting of the reclocker.

Note
PM- series modules operate in 5RU and 9RU frames only. PT- series
modules operate in 5RU, 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames.

The SD digital multi-rate output module comes in these variations:


• The PM-SR-OB/PT-SR-OB are SD output modules with reclocking.
• The PM-SR-DOB/PT-SR-DOB are SD output modules with reclocking and
dual outputs.
The PM-SR-OB/PM-SR-DOB and PT-SR-OB/PT-SR-DOB digital multi-rate
output modules receive 32 digital differential signal pairs (3 Mb/s to 540 Mb/s)
from the crosspoint matrix, provide secondary switching, reclock the SMPTE
and ASI signals, and send them to the drivers designed to drive 75Ω loads. They
support any digital signal between 3 Mb/s and 540 Mb/s with no reclocking. The
reclocker works in one of four modes: automatic, manual, bypass, and mute.
• Automatic mode: automatically detects and reclocks at an input SMPTE
data rate (this mode is the default mode)
• Manual mode: manually sets a SMPTE rate for reclocking
• Bypass mode: data bypasses the PLL
• Mute mode: no output at the output pins of the reclocker
Output data from the reclocker is fed to a 75Ω output driver feeding the 75Ω
BNC.
An 8×1 differential crosspoint selects the output monitoring signal.

Chapter 4: Output Modules

Note
PM- series modules operate in 5RU and 9RU frames only. PT- series
modules operate in 5RU, 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames.

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.

Back Panel I/O Module


The PT-AEB-OBP back panel I/O module corresponds to the PM-AEB-OB and
the PT-AEB-OB output modules. The PT-AEC-OBP back panel I/O module
corresponds to the PM-AEC-OB and PT-AEC-OB output modules. DB-25
connectors are used on the PT-AEB-OBP and PT-AEC-OBP back panel I/O
modules. To provide the required BNC interface, the PT-AEC-BOC must be
used in conjunction with the PT-AEC-OBP for connection to coaxial cables.

Chapter 4: Output Modules

Note
PM- series modules operate in 5RU and 9RU frames only. PT- series
modules operate in 5RU, 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames.

The SD to analog video encoder module comes in these variations:


• The PM-ENC-OB and PT-ENC-OB are SD-to-analog video encoder output
modules.
• The PM-ENC-DOB and PT-ENC-DOB are SD-to-analog video encoder
output modules with dual outputs.
The PM-ENC-OB/PT-ENC-OB SD-to-analog video encoder modules convert a
block of eight serial SD digital signals to composite NTSC or PAL video
signals.
The PM-ENC-OB/PT-ENC-OB modules accept 32 serial digital (SD) video
signals from the crosspoint module, which are presented to four FPGA-based
deserializer chips. Within each of the deserializer chips are two 4×1
multiplexers that switch the signals to the receiver blocks.
The two receiver blocks within each of the deserializer chips perform the
functions of extracting and locking all conversion functions to the bit-serial
clock. To do this they
• Use the internal and external PLL circuitry to descramble the SMPTE
non-return to zero (NRZI) SDI stream
• Find the “x3FF” start of active video/end of active video (EAV / SAV)
frame boundaries
• Load the decoded data stream into a “serial in/parallel out” (SIPO) shift
register for exporting the data in 10-bit parallel form
The 10-bit parallel data is loaded into the encoder chip on the rising edge of a 27
MHz pipeline clock, where it is processed for digital noise reduction (DNR) to
reduce low-amplitude, high-frequency noise. Gamma correction, sub-alias
filtering (SAF), and user-based color adjustments are performed in the “parallel
CCIR-601” domain. The signal is then separated into its chrominance and
luminance components, sent through the low-pass filters (LPF) to reduce
aliasing effects incurred as a process of encoding the signal, and resampled at
2X to further reduce aliasing. The oversampled parallel signal is finally
converted to analog composite video within the 10-bit DAC stage, sent through
a 4-pole low pass filter, and buffered for presentation to the output BNC
connector.
Through the control system, you can control the low-pass and notch filter
selection, NTSC or PAL video standard, video pedestal, internal test signal
generator, chrominance level and hue (NTSC only), brightness, sharpness, and
digital noise reduction.
You must be careful when implementing the notch and low pass filters, as a
“tradeoff” between frequency response and out of band noise often takes place.

Each of the eight channels provide standard reporting of signal presence via
card-edge mounted LEDs (Output 1 – Output 8) and via the control system.
Additional system LEDs indicate the following:
• The power supply indicator (POWER) shows that +24V is present on the
module.
• The control system acknowledgment indicator (ACT CTRL) shows that the
control system is communicating with the module.
• The Output Active warning indicator (ACT OUT) indicates that a valid
input signal has been switched to an output on this module.

Module Operation

Figure 4-30. PT-HSR1310S-OB Fiber Optical HD / SD Serial Video Transmitter


(PT-FO-BMO Back Panel I/O Module Attached)

The PT-HSR1310S-OB is a fiber optical HD/SD serial video transmitter


module. It has eight fiber optical transmitter receptacles mounted on the metal
back panel of the back module. A switched video data stream by the crosspoint
module enters the front module. A 4×1 mux in the reclocker integrated circuit
serves as a secondary switcher for the entire switching matrix. The selected data
is processed by the reclocker. The reclocker provides three processing modes:
Reclocking (automatic, manual); Bypass (automatic, enforced); and Mute.
The processed data stream then enters a 1×2 buffer. One of the outputs is fed to
the back module for E/O conversion. The second output is used for system
monitoring.
An E-O converter is installed in each channel on the back module. It converts
electrical data processed by the reclocker to optical data. This conversion stage
also provides alarm and auto-protection functions.
The control circuit consists of an FPGA and serial-to-parallel shift registers. In
addition to common functions (PIPE port, PRTI port, slot ID, and power start
trigger), this FPGA and associated circuits also control video monitoring and
data loss of the reclockers, laser failure, and back module identification.

Overview
This chapter contains both a general description and additional detailed
descriptions of the crosspoint modules available for the Platinum router. A
General Description section provides a generic view of how a Platinum
crosspoint module operates. Each crosspoint module is further described in
terms of its individual operation, controllable parameters, installation,
configuration, and functional block diagram.

Chapter 5: Crosspoint Modules

Crosspoint Module General Description


The crosspoint module plugs into the module interconnect backplane via a
high-density, high-speed connector. Switching is performed in a three-stage
“make before break” process that eliminates unnecessary signals on the MI,
while continually providing the output module reclocker IC a valid source so
that the reclocker remains locked:
1. The crosspoint module is switched so that the previous and next sources are
both active on the output module reclocker input.
2. The output module reclocker is switched to the next source.
3. The crosspoint module switches off the previous source.
All settings for the crosspoint circuitry are reset on module insertion within one
frame (per sync present) of when the resource module detects card presence.
There are three system indicator LEDs on the front edge of the module:
• The green LED labelled “POWER” is the power supply indicator. It shows
that +24V is present on the module.
• The LED labelled “ACT CTRL” 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 LED labelled “ACT XPT” is the active crosspoint indicator. It indicates
which crosspoint card is active in redundant configurations.
Along with these LEDs, there are power and ground test points accessible on the
front portion of the board for troubleshooting and verification.
Temperature sensing circuits are present on the crosspoint module, so that the
internal frame temperature can be monitored.

Chapter 5: Crosspoint Modules

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
switches auxiliary signals. The PM-ATDM9-X5crosspoint matrix contains
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
auxiliary signals. The PM-ATDM16-X9 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 9RU frames only.
PT-ATDM16-X15
The PT-ATDM16-X15 crosspoint module switches signals accepted from input
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
The PT-ATDM32-X15 crosspoint module switches signals accepted from input
modules and distributes these signals to output modules. It also switches
auxiliary signals. The PT-ATDM32-X15 crosspoint matrix contains a 32×32 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-X28
The PT-ATDM32-X28 crosspoint module switches signals accepted from input
modules and distributes these signals to output modules. It also switches
auxiliary signals. The PT-ATDM32-X28 crosspoint matrix contains a 32×32 I/O
signal switch fabric as well as additional auxiliary crosspoint switch capability.
This crosspoint module can be used in 28RU, 15RU, or 9RU frames.

Feature Description
Audio processing Processes on 16-bit, 20-bit or 24-bit audio samples; the
number of bits per sample can be detected automatically
by the module
Mono/stereo switching Allows switching of mono inputs, stereo pairs, and
“breakaway” of stereo inputs
Synchronous switching Performs switching of AES streams synchronously with
a reference signal such that switching occurs at an AES
frame boundary
Transitions Supports audio transitions with variable duration when
switching between two audio signals; transitions
supported include
• V Fade
• Fade Cut
• Cut Fade
• Cut (fast transition)
Transition type and duration are assigned on a
per-output basis
Quiet switching Supports quiet switching between two audio signals as a
predefined transition type (quiet switching is
implemented as a V-fade or crossfade of two signals
with minimum duration)

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

Chapter 5: Crosspoint Modules

module’s output is tri-stated, the output of the secondary module that is


connected to the same output line may be activated through a control setting. In
this state, both modules may be active. This capability allows a partial
switchover to the secondary module in the event of a partial failure of the active
module. It also allows a staged switchover between modules to permit
switchover to be scheduled in a way that reduces potential for disruption of
on-air signals. When all of the outputs of a module are in the high-impedance
mode, it is defined as being in the secondary state.

Chapter 6: Output Monitoring Modules

Output Monitoring Module General Description


The output monitoring module allows output monitoring of any output in the
Platinum frame. The signal can be either a copy of the signal that is currently
being sent to a particular output (virtual output monitoring), or a signal taken
directly from the output itself (real output monitoring). The monitoring output
signal is distributed to the output BNCs on the module, eliminating the need for
external distribution. The output monitoring module automatically passes all
data types, and no format selection or configuration is required. An additional
input connector is provided on the output monitoring module for remote
monitoring capabilities.
Figure 6-1 on page 230 through Figure 6-4 on page 233 are block diagrams of
the overall output monitoring architecture for the different frame sizes.

Controllable Parameters List


The Controllable Parameters List is a multilevel structure that includes all of the
available parameters, arranged into groupings. These parameters are enabled
and/or changed via the RouterMapper configuration utility. To set the
parameters, you must access the control components (listed on the Detected
Matrices tab of the corresponding Platinum frame). Follow the appropriate steps
(as described in the RouterMapper Configuration Utility Reference Guide) to
open the Module Parameters list box, and then change the parameter instance to
the desired setting. Parameters marked with the [RO] designator are
“read-only.” Output monitoring module parameters lists are provided on the
following pages:

Operation
Module Operation

Figure 6-6. PT-HSR-OM HD/SD Output Monitoring Module

The PT-HSR-OM HD/SD output monitoring module is designed to provide HD


and SD serial video outputs for monitoring purposes, as well as other types of
signals handled by Platinum (such as AES audio). This rear-loading module fits
into any one of four output monitoring module slots (two slots in 5RU frames).
Output monitoring is classified into two categories: real output monitoring and
virtual output monitoring.
Real Output Monitoring
Real output monitoring provides the output signal from the final stage of the
output. For example, the secondary output from each output amplifier in a
PT-HSR-OB module is used for monitoring. The eight monitoring output
signals in a PT-HSR-OB module are applied to an 8×1 switch. The selected
monitoring output is then fed to a crosspoint module. Each crosspoint module
receives up to 16 output monitoring signals from PT-HSR-OB modules, and
switches the selected signal to be monitored to the output monitoring module(s).

Chapter 6: Output Monitoring Modules

Virtual Output Monitoring


The output monitoring signal can also be a copy of the input signal being sent to
a particular output. Since this type of monitoring signal comes directly from the
crosspoint rather than from the output module itself, it is referred to as a virtual
output monitoring signal.

Corresponding Output Module


The PT-HSR-OM monitors the output from the PM-HSR-OB/PT-HSR-OB,
PM-SR-OB/PT-SR-OB, PM-AEB-OB/PT-AEB-OB, PM-AEC-OB/
PT-AEC-OB, PM-DAC-OB/PT-DAC-OB, or PM-ENC-OB/PT-ENC-OB output
modules.

Installation
All output monitoring modules are installed at our manufacturing facility. See
“Installing Output Monitoring Modules” on page 256 for the procedure for field
expansion of output monitoring modules. If you need to purchase additional
components, please contact your dealer or our Sales Department.

Configuration
This module requires no additional configuration procedures besides those
described for frame configuration.

Installation

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.

This chapter provides information specific to the installation of the Platinum


router. All modules and power supplies ordered will be installed in the Platinum
frame before it is shipped. For field expansion and/or replacement installation
information, see the following topics covered in this chapter:

Chapter 7: Installation

Before You Begin


Review these general rules of thumb before you begin performing any
installations or field upgrades of your Platinum routing system:
• A Platinum router is heavy. Do not attempt to lift a populated frame
yourself.
• The Platinum module and connector layout was designed to make sense
from the BACK — numbering is from left to right, etc.
• Use a static strap or heel strap when handling modules. See “Preventing
Electrostatic Discharge” on page 290 for instructions.
• Do not stack modules directly on top of one another; solder joints and
components on the edges of modules can be damaged this way. Use a
slotted card carrier to stack a quantity of modules.
• Modules need to be properly and completely seated for correct operations.
• Edge connectors on the modules have tight tolerances. Avoid bending or
forcing modules when installing them.
• Take care not to let upper modules drop onto lower modules when inserting
or removing them from the frame. Use the module guides to prevent this.
• The Output Monitoring module slots face alternate directions
(up/down/up/down)
• Verify termination on all video, sync, or X-Y lines.
• Verify that the frame is well grounded. KEEP THE FRAME GROUND IN
PLACE when servicing the frame.
• Platinum’s power supply architecture is configurable, allowing from one to
four power supplies per zone on the router. Depending on configuration and
module population of each zone, two power supplies may be required for
normal operation of the zone.
• Platinum’s internal power supply may be reconfigured or reallocated to
other zones.

RouterMapper’s Platinum Firmware tab allows you to quickly upgrade to the


most current Platinum firmware versions for detected, selected modules; or for
all detected, installed modules. To upgrade the firmware for a Platinum module,
follow these steps.
1. Download the firmware upgrade to the PC where the upgrade procedure
will be performed. You can check for the most current firmware upgrades at
the Harris Broadcast Communications Division Premier Customer Support
website.
We recommend that you download the upgrade to <drive>\Leitch\RtrWrks\
bin32\Firmware (or if you have NAV installed, to C:\Program Files\ Harris\
RtrWrks\ bin32\ Firmware), as this is the location where RouterMapper first
looks for firmware upgrade files.
2. Perform a Poll on the selected Platinum frame to obtain the latest detected
modules and firmware versions. (For information on how to perform a poll,
see the RouterMapper Configuration Utility Reference Guide).
3. At the RouterMapper main menu window, double-click the name of the
frame that contains the modules you want to upgrade, and then select the
Firmware tab.
4. From the selected matrix list, click on the modules you want to upgrade.
Multiple modules may be selected using standard Windows selection
techniques (hold down the <Shift> or <Ctrl> keys to select multiple
modules). A quick way to determine the installed firmware version is to
“hover” the mouse over the module icon to the right of the module name.

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.

Figure 7-11. Installing Fans

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.

Installing a Platinum Frame


Each Platinum frame is shipped fully populated (based on customer’s
configuration) and pre-configured from our manufacturing facility.
The Platinum system can be installed anywhere within a routing system and can
be controlled in a variety of ways. Because the flexibility of the Platinum setup
allows for many possible configurations, the installation procedures will depend
on the desired configuration and system design. General installation procedures
are outlined below.
1. Install the Platinum frame in a restricted access area, so that only qualified
personnel have access to it.
2. An optional Platinum support tray may be purchased to make installation
easier.
3. Lift the Platinum frame into place and install rack screws.
4. Use power cords of adequate wire gauge when connecting the Platinum
frame to the facility’s electrical power source.
• Platinum frames labeled to operate on 100 to 240 VAC should be
connected using AC power cords that are no smaller than 14 gauge.
• Platinum frames labeled to operate from -40 to -65 VDC should be
connected using cables no smaller than 12 gauge with ring terminals
attached to the terminal blocks.

Common Issues and Things to Check


• Verify serial port settings from card edge control (defaults are 38400, n, 8,1)
• Verify IP address settings (double-check subnet mask)
• Verify that all modules are properly seated
• Reseat modules when in doubt! Confirm that the card-edge LED for
ACT-CTL eventually turns green
• Verify that a valid X-Y signal is attached to X-Y ports on the router (not
Sync), and that a valid Sync is connected to the Sync connectors
• Verify correct termination (75Ω) on Sync and X-Y lines
• Verify state of Safe Hub mode on X-Y bus (this may be disabling second
port)
• Confirm that all power supplies are cabled, turned on, and functional
• Confirm version of Platinum firmware on the resource module

Commonly Performed Procedures


• Firmware Upgrade Procedure
• Via FTP or via flash card replacement
• May be done with router powered up

Configuration

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

Figure 8-1. Card-Edge Control Display

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 and Adjustable Parameters


The Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) screens on Platinum modules show
two types of controllable parameters:
• Read-only parameters provide status information, but cannot be changed.
• Adjustable parameters can be modified using card-edge controls.

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.

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.

Card-Edge Screen Saver


After 20 minutes of inactivity, the VFD on a Platinum module automatically
shuts off. To reactivate the VFD, press any button or toggle switch on the
module. The screen saver mode is a step; therefore, no parameter changes will
take effect when you “awaken” the VFD using one of the card-edge controls.
However, the parameter changes will take effect if you press the Enter button
twice while the display is being awakened.

Controllable Parameters List Appearance


The Controllable Parameters list is a multilevel structure that includes all of the
available parameters, arranged into groupings. Parameters with the abbreviation
[RO] are “read-only.”
• Platinum frame default settings are listed on page 271.
• Platinum application parameters are listed on page 271.
• Platinum fail-safe parameters are listed on page 273.
• Parameters lists for each individual module are listed with the module’s
detailed description.

Configuration via RouterMapper


Note
This section presupposes that you have a working knowledge of
RouterMapper and have used its other capabilities. If not, please refer to
the RouterMapper Configuration Utility Reference Guide to familiarize
yourself with its functions before you continue the Add process.

The information below provides you the different methods by which you can
add the Platinum router to a RouterMapper database. It does not go into detail
about any of these methods or about other aspects of editing a router. For more
information on editing routers in RouterMapper, please refer to the
RouterMapper Configuration Utility Reference Guide, edition N or higher. You
can download a copy of the most current edition from our website. At the
Documentation page, select RouterMapper from the Product Name drop-down
list box, and then click on the appropriate file link. Follow the on-screen
directions to either open the file or download it to your desktop.
To add a Platinum router, you must use RouterMapper v.6.01 or higher (v.6.03
or higher to add Platinum with CENTRIO). You can download a copy of the
most current version of RouterMapper configuration utility software from our
website. At the Download page, select RouterMapper from the Request Files
For drop-down list box, and then click on the appropriate EXE file to start the
download.

Adding Platinum Frames by Polling


The Poll option is used to query the control system for any programmable
devices that may be present in the system. Polling will obtain information about
the current configuration of each physical device, and will compare it to the
information found in the database to determine if the database information
matches the actual configuration. For more information about this process, see
“Adding a Frame by Polling” on page 88 of the RouterMapper Configuration
Utility Reference Guide.

Adding Platinum Frames by Discovering


The Discovery option is a quick way to allow RouterMapper to search the
control system for any programmable devices that may be present in the system.
Unlike the Polling option, the Discovery option will not obtain information
about current configurations; however, it will allow you to select discovered
devices to add to the device list. You can then use RouterMapper’s Edit
capabilities to configure the device. For more information about this process,
see “Adding a Frame by Discovery” on page 88 of the RouterMapper
Configuration Utility Reference Guide.

Chapter 8: Configuration

Adding Platinum Frames using the Add Command


An alternative to polling the system for, or discovering, devices is to create the
device definitions via RouterMapper’s Add function. Adding a Platinum frame
to the RouterMapper database is a multi-step process that requires you to select
a frame size, set up a matrix, select monitoring (if you have optional monitoring
modules as part of your system), and set up controls. For more information
about this process, see “Adding Platinum Frames” on page 90 of the
RouterMapper Configuration Utility Reference Guide.

Frame Application Parameters Available Through RouterMapper


Whenever a system poll is initiated, RouterMapper will query all devices
attached to the system to determine the configuration of each. The properties of
the detected frame will be displayed on the Detected Matrices tab. This
information is read-only (it cannot be edited). However, certain application
parameters can be edited via the Module Parameters list box for frames. To
access this list box, at the Detected Matrices tab, position the screen cursor
above the resource module entry in the Control Components section, right-click
the mouse button, and then select View Frame Settings. The Module Parameters
list box will appear.
The parameters listed in the Module Parameters list box are user-controllable.
Selections that are greyed out are read-only and cannot be changed. Table 8-4
lists frame parameters, descriptions, and user ranges.

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.

Establishing a Terminal Operation Session


Before you configure your Platinum product, you will need to initiate a terminal
operation session. You need to determine which type of setup you will use:
• For a standalone or network system with serial connections, see
“Establishing a Terminal Operation Session for Serial Control Interface
Products” on page 282.
• For a standalone or network system with Ethernet connections, see
“Establishing a Telnet Session for Ethernet Control Interface Products” on
page 283.

Laser Safety Guidelines

General Laser Information


WARNING
Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than
those specified in this document may result in hazardous
laser radiation exposure.

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.

Appendix B: Laser Safety Guidelines

Lasers and Eye Damage


The optical energy emitted by laser and high-radiance LEDs in the 400-1400
nm range may cause eye damage. When a beam of light enters the eye, the eye
magnifies and focuses the energy on the retina magnifying the irradiance. The
irradiance of the energy that reaches the retina is approximately 105 or 100,000
times more than at the cornea and, if sufficiently intense, may burn the retina.
The damage mechanism at the wavelengths used in an optical fiber
telecommunications is thermal in origin, i.e., damage caused by heating. A
specific amount of energy is required for a definite time to heat an area of retinal
tissue. Damage to the retina occurs only when you look at the light sufficiently
long that the product of the retinal irradiance and the viewing time exceeds the
damage threshold. Optical energies above 1400 nm cause corneal and skin
burns but do not affect the retina. The thresholds for injury at wavelengths
greater than 1400 nm are significantly higher than for wavelengths in the retinal
hazard region

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.

Appendix B: Laser Safety Guidelines

Laser Safety Precautions for Optical Fiber


Communication Systems
In its normal operating mode, an optical fiber communication system is totally
enclosed and presents no risk of eye injury. It is a Class I/1 system under the
FDA and IEC classifications. The fiber optic cables that interconnect various
components of an optical fiber can disconnect or break, and may expose people
to laser emissions. Also, certain measures and maintenance procedures may
expose the technician to emission from the semiconductor laser during
installation and servicing.
Unlike more familiar laser devices, such as solid-state and gas lasers, the
emission pattern of a semiconductor laser results in a highly divergent beam. In
a divergent beam, the irradiance (power density) decreases rapidly with
distance. The greater the distance, the less energy will enter the eye, and the less
potential risk for eye injury.
Inadvertently viewing an unterminated fiber or damaged fiber with the unaided
eye at distances greater than 5 to 6 in. (127 to 152 mm) normally will not cause
eye injury, provided that the power in the fiber is less than a few milliwatts at
the near IR wavelengths and a few tens of milliwatts at the far IR wavelengths.

Laser Safety
WARNING
Use of controls, adjustments, and procedures other than
those specified in this document may result in hazardous
laser radiation exposure.

Optical fiber telecommunication systems use semiconductor laser transmitters


that emit infrared light that is normally not visible to the human eye. Although a
conventional laser produces a small beam of light, the power density is very
high, and it can damage your eyes.
If a beam of laser light enters the eye, the eye magnifies and focuses the energy
on the retina. The energy that reaches the retina can be as much as 100,000
times more than at the cornea and, as a result, it can burn the retina.
Laser transmission products are classified in four major groups (Class 1, 2, 3,
and 4), according to their emissions and potential for causing injury. Fiber optic
transmitter modules in this series are designated Class 1.

Precautions for Enclosed Systems


Under normal operating conditions, optical fiber telecommunication systems
are completely enclosed; nonetheless, observe the following precautions:
1. Because of the potential for eye damage, technicians should not stare into
optical connectors or broken fibers.
2. Under no circumstance shall laser/fiber optic operations be performed by a
technician before satisfactorily completing an approved training course.
Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual 301
Preliminary—Contents are proprietary and confidential. Do not photocopy or distribute.

Appendix B: Laser Safety Guidelines

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.

Precautions for Unenclosed Systems


During service, maintenance, or restoration, an optical fiber telecommunication
system is considered unenclosed. Under these conditions, follow these
practices:

CAUTION
Only authorized, trained personnel shall be permitted to
do service, maintenance, and restoration.

1. Avoid exposing the eye to emissions from unterminated, energized optical


connectors at close distances.
Laser modules associated with the optical ports of laser circuit packs are
typically recessed, which limits the exposure distance. Optical port shutters,
Automatic Power Reduction (APR), and Automatic Power Shut Down
(APSD) are engineering controls that are also used to limit the emissions.
However, technicians removing or replacing laser modules should not stare
or look directly into the optical port with optical instruments or magnifying
lenses. (Normal eyewear or indirect viewing instruments such as
Find-R-Scopes are not considered magnifying lenses or optical
instruments).
2. Ensure that only authorized, trained personnel use optical test equipment
during installation or servicing.
3. Turn off all laser sources before scanning a fiber with an optical test set.
4. Keep all unauthorized personnel away from the immediate area of the
optical fiber systems during installation and service.
For guidance on the safe use of optical fiber communication systems in the
workplace, consult ANSI Z136.2, American National Standard for Safe Use of
