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.

1 Introduction
The Platinum routing switcher system extends both the matrix size and functionality of our
routing switcher product line. Its flexible modular architecture accommodates both standard
definition and high definition digital video signals while keeping a versatile frame and
control system. This combination allows high performance, multi-format video routing
within a single, flexible frame.
This chapter covers the following topics:
 Control Features on page 17

 Frame-Specific Components on page 10
 Frame Specifications on page 21
 Front Panel LED Indicators on page 15
 Main Features on page 2
 Module-Specific Components on page 11
 Product Description on page 1
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.
2 Chapter 1
Introduction
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 16.)
The frames are designed to be compliant with NEBS certification requirements (for example,
non-removable door option, locking power supplies, etc.).
Platinum frames are compatible with all of Imagine Communications’ 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.

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 3 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 9.
A resource module (PT-RES) is required for system control. A second resource module may
be added for redundancy. See page 27 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 3 shows the
number of total power supplies required for each frame size. See page 39 for detailed
information about the power supply module.
The Platinum router supports several output monitoring modules, which are available as
options. See page 14 for brief descriptions of these options. Detailed information about
these options (such as configuration, installation, block diagrams, and specifications) is
outlined in Chapter 9.
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 8, Figure 1-6 on page 8, and Figure 1-7 on page 9.
 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.

Introduction
Figure 1-5 Platinum 5RU Frame Modular Components
Figure 1-6 Platinum Frame Modular Components (15RU Shown)
 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.)

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.
16 Chapter 1
Introduction
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
Figure 1-8 Front Panel LED Indicators

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 (for example, 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 (for example,
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 (for example, input/output modules, etc.) that may be installed
 Number of components installed (for example, number of crosspoint modules,
processing modules, other signal handling components)
 Type of components installed
 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
18 Chapter 1
Introduction
 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
(for example, signal presence; reclocker lock; sync signal presence, type, and lock).
Note: Other than physical frame failure alarms (fans, power supplies, and so forth), 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 (for
example, wiring fault, etc.).
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
Imagine Communications-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.

PM-MI-5/PM-MI-9/PT-MI-15/PT-MI-28 Module Interconnect
Operation
The PM-MI-5 (for 5RU frames), PM-MI-9 (for 9RU frames), PT-MI-15 (for 15RU frames), or
PT-MI-28 (for 28RU frames) module interconnect is the central signal distribution module for
the Platinum frame. This module provides all of the signal distribution between the input,
output, and crosspoint modules. Along with the signal distribution, this module
interconnects the control infrastructure and distributes the required power to the
appropriate signal modules. There are no active components on the module interconnect.

Configuration
This module requires no specialized configuration procedures.
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.
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 2-3 on page 51 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 (for
example, NTP).
Installation
All communications back panel modules are installed at our manufacturing facility. This
module is not user-replaceable. If you need to upgrade or replace this module, please
contact our Customer Service Department.

PT-RES: Platinum Resource Module
Operation
Figure 2-2 PT-RES 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.
28 Chapter 2
Frame Modules
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.
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 (for example, 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 labeled “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 labeled “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 needs to be rebooted. Reboot the
PT-RES module as soon as possible, and then notify Customer Service.
Along with these LEDs, there are labeled power and ground test points accessible on the
front portion of the board for troubleshooting and verification.
Installation
All PT-RES modules are installed at our manufacturing facility. See page 381 for information
about replacing the PT-RES module. If you need to purchase additional components, please
contact your dealer or our Sales Department.

Using PX-RES in a Platinum Frame

When a Platinum PX-RES module is installed in a Platinum frame, it becomes part of the
Platinum IP3 Control System where the web-based IP3 Controller GUI is used for
configuration, control, and monitoring of the entire system. The IP3 Controller must be
version 1.3.3 or higher and the PX-RES module(s) must be version 1.5 or higher. To
configure & control your Platinum Router using the IP3 Controller, you need to add your
Platinum Frame to the routing system in the IP3 Controller web interface, along with other
setup details. Please refer to the Platinum IP3 Controller User Manual for details.
The following is a module compatibility matrix with details on supported and unsupported

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 (for example, signal presence on output 1 fails).
The module is hot swappable and interconnects between the fan module and the module
interconnect. (See page 379 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 Navigator or
RouterMapper. The selectable fan speeds are OFF, low, medium, and high. To set the fan
speed, you must access the Fan_Speed_x parameter. Follow the appropriate steps (as
described in the Navigator or RouterMapper manual) 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:

32 Chapter 2
Frame Modules
 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.
 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 Provide the ability to monitor legacy equipment alarm/
1-4 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.

Frame Modules
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 -60 VDC require the DC power supply module.

PM5-PD/PT-PD: Power Distribution Module
Operation
Figure 2-9 PM5-PD/PT-PD 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 zone.
Each zone of the bus bar is divided into four groupings (or distribution points) located
evenly between every four I/O modules.
Note: See Installing Power Supplies on page 385 for more information about power
distribution zones.
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 49 for more information about the fan module.
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
Note: External redundancy is not needed on 5RU or 9RU frames. These frame sizes already
support the necessary number of redundant power supplies.
Figure 2-10 PT-EXPS External Power Supply Frame
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.

Note: In case of a fan failure, only individual fans need replacement; the entire fan module
does not need to be replaced.
48 Chapter 2
Frame Modules
Figure 2-15 PM-FAN-5 Module
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 30). Each
fan is accessible from the frame rear and connects to the fan module via a three-pin locking
connector to allow for removal and replacement in the event of a fan failure.
Installation
All fan modules are installed at our manufacturing facility. See Replacing Fans on page
387 for details on individual fan replacement. If you need to purchase additional
components, please contact your dealer or our Sales Department.

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.

Frame Modules
PT-SYNC: Sync Module
Operation
Note: In 5RU Platinum frames with TDM, the sync capability is built into the crosspoint
module. A separate sync module is not required.
Figure 2-17 PT-SYNC Module
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. Card-edge LEDs indicate the presence of sync. 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 AES
reference (on Sync input 1, 2, or 3) is required by I/O modules. Sync 4 is used for internal
synchronization and will be unavailable as an input. The AES reference must come from an
external DARS or any other genlocked AES source. If TDM is present in a 9RU, 15RU, or
28RU Platinum router, a PT-SYNC module is required to distribute synchronizing
information. The 5RU TDM crosspoint integrates all sync functionality, so PT-SYNC modules
are not used in 5RU frames.
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 2-3 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 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.

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 labeled “POWER” is the power supply indicator. It shows that +24V is
present on the module.
 The yellow LED labeled “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.
58 Chapter 3
Input Modules
 The LED labeled “ACTCTRL” is the control system acknowledgment. The LED shows a
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.
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 Imagine
Communications- or SNMP-supported control application.

Operation
The PX-HSR8C-IBG is an 8 channel SD/HD/3G Digital Video Input Module with 8 BNC
connectors.
The PX-HSR8C-IBG Front Module is a hot-swappable, generic Video Input Module that
supports signals up to 3 Gbps. It accepts digital video signals, equalizes and retimes data
streams, detects standards and formats, and distributes signals to the MI backplane to be
switched by the crosspoint matrix.
The Back Module interfaces with the Front module to accept 8 electrical inputs. The
PX-HSR8C-IBG accepts an input data stream for each of the eight channels. Cable losses are
automatically compensated for, if the cable length is within the maximum length limitation.
The maximum cable length is a system specification, not solely dependent on the input
card. It is measured by bit error limitation (not jitter).
Each of the 8 input channels on the Input Module provides signal presence reporting via
card edge LEDs and the control software. Both have the ability to be disabled or enabled
through the control software.
LEDs
There are 8 input LEDs on the PX-HSR8C-IBG module. Under normal working conditions, all
the LEDs are used to indicate signal presence status. See Signal Presence.
Under certain abnormal conditions, for instance if a module is improperly installed or not
recognized by the system, card edge LEDs are used to show diagnostic information. See
Diagnostics.

PT-HSR8C-IBG Digital Multirate Input Module
Figure 3-5 PX-HS-IB+ Front Module
Figure 3-6 PT-HSR8C-IBG Back Module
Operation
The PT-HSR8C-IBG is an 8 channel SD/HD/3G Digital Video Input Module with 8 BNC
connectors.
The PT-HSR8C-IBG Front Module is a hot-swappable, generic Video Input Module that
supports signals up to 3 Gbps. It accepts digital video signals, equalizes and retimes data
streams, detects standards and formats, and distributes signals to the MI backplane to be
switched by the crosspoint matrix.
The Back Module interfaces with the Front module to accept 8 electrical inputs. The
PT-HSR8C-IBG accepts an input data stream for each of the eight channels. Cable losses
are automatically compensated for, if the cable length is within the maximum length
limitation. The maximum cable length is a system specification, not solely dependent on the
input card. It is measured by bit error limitation (not jitter).
Each of the 8 input channels on the Input Module provides signal presence reporting via
card edge LEDs and the control software. Both have the ability to be disabled or enabled
through the control software.
LEDs
There are 8 input LEDs on the PT-HSR8C-IBG module. Under normal working conditions, all
the LEDs are used to indicate signal presence status. See Signal Presence.
Under certain abnormal conditions, for instance if a module is improperly installed or not
recognized by the system, card edge LEDs are used to show diagnostic information. See
Diagnostics.

Signal Presence
There are 8 Input LEDs that report on signal presence
Table 3-9 LED states

State Description
Off No signal detected by the SDI Cable Equalizer.
Flashing Green The following conditions may result in a flashing
green input LED:
 The SDI Cable Equalizer detects a signal, but the

SDI Deserializer is unable to lock it. This could be
due to a false signal detection as the result of
noise or noise due to crosstalk picked up by the
cable equalizer.
 Mute is enabled causing the LED to flash
Solid Green An SDI signal has been detected by the SDI Cable
Equalizer and the SDI Deserializer has successfully
locked to the SDI signal
Diagnostics
The Input LEDs also perform diagnostic functions, as detailed below.

Figure 3-8 PX-HSR80-IBG Back Module
Figure 3-9 PX-HSR80-IBG Back Module
This back module works with the PX-HS-IB+ front module, similar to the one used with
the PX-HSR8C-IBG back module. See PX-HS-IB+ Front Module on page 68.
The parameters for this module are similar to PX-HSR8C-IBG Controllable Parameters on
page 63. Additional parameters specific to PX-HSR8O-IBG are the optical parameters
showing the input optical power and the supported SFP Type.
This module works with both PT-RES and PX-RES as the control module in a Platinum
module.
Note that this back module replaces the PT-HSO-PIN-IB+ back module (see
PT-HSO-IB+: Fiber Optical 3G HD-SDI, 1.5G HD-SDI, and SD-SDI Serial Video
Receiver Modules on page 136), which is now end of life.
PM-HS-IB+/PT-HS-IB+: Digital Multirate Input Modules
Operation
Note: PM- series modules operate in 5RU and 9RU frames only. PT- series modules operate
in 5RU, 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames.
Figure 3-10 PM-HS-IB+/PT-HS-IB+ Module
The PM-HS-IB+/PT-HS-IB+ digital multirate input module receives any AC-coupled digital
signal with amplitude not exceeding 880 mV from 3 Mb/s to 2.97 Gb/s terminated with
75. 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 output of the equalizer
will be muted and no data will be fed to the MI module. The equalizer function may be
bypassed if EQ is not desired.
The PM-HS-IB+/PT-HS-IB+ has the capability to support a variety of optional submodules.

PM-DEC-IB/PT-DEC-IB: Analog Video to SDI Decoder Input Modules
Operation
Figure 3-26 PM-DEC-IB/PT-DEC-IB Module
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
Composite Analog Input Processing

The PM-DEC-IB/PT-DEC-IB accepts eight 1 Vpp analog NTSC or PAL video signals
terminating into 75 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).
1 See
page 57 through page 58 for more information about input module LEDs.
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 trade-off 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

108 Chapter 3
Input Modules
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 3-28 PM-ADC-IB/PT-ADC-IB Module
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 600 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.
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
600 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 57 through page 58 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:.
 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 3-31 PM-ADCT-IB/PT-ADCT-IB Module
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 600 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 Imagine
Communications’ 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.
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
600 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.
 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 57 through page 58 for a
description of the system LEDs.
124 Chapter 3
Input Modules
Operating Modes
The PM-ADCT-IB/PT-ADCT-IB operates in one of three modes: External, internal, and auto
mode:.
 In external mode, all necessary sampling clocks are derived from an external AES
reference (DARS). The resulting AES streams generated from the sampled analog audio
inputs will be locked in both frequency and phase to this external reference.
 In internal mode, all necessary sampling clocks are derived from internal oscillators.
These oscillators have been chosen to provide for many of the most common AES
frame rates (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, and 192 kHz).
Voltage-controlled crystal oscillators, or VCXOs, allow adjustment of these internally
generated sampling clocks within a specified tolerance.
 In auto mode, the PM-ADCT-IB/PT-ADCT-IB detects whether a usable external reference
is present or not. If it is able to lock to the reference, it will operate as described in
External mode; however, if the reference is lost or becomes unusable, the PM-ADCT-IB/
PT-ADCT-IB will automatically switch over to operate as described in Internal Mode. If
the reference is restored, the board will again automatically switch over to operate as
described in External Mode.
Analog Level Detection

Analog input level detection is provided in two forms:
 The first implementation is through the use of rectifier and comparator circuits that are
used to detect a user-defined minimum signal amplitude. This minimum amplitude is
conveyed via a nonvolatile, digitally controlled potentiometer that provides the
reference voltage to the comparators. (The reference voltage can be individually set for
channels A and B on all inputs.) If the amplitude of the input signal exceeds the
comparator reference voltage, the green LED for that channel is illuminated.
If the signal level falls below the minimum threshold for a user-defined time duration,
the sampled data output from the A/D converter will be overwritten by all zeroes within
the FPGA. This greatly reduces idle channel noise in systems using A/D and D/A
converters. Conversely, the detection of a signal above the minimum threshold value
also has an associated time duration before muting is released, providing hysteresis to
this function.
 The 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.

PT-HS1310S-IB: Fiber Optical HD/SD Serial Video Receiver Modules
Operation
Note: PT- series modules operate in 5RU, 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames.
Figure 3-34 PT-HS1310S-IB Module (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.
An FPGA provides control and communication required. Except for common functions (such
as pipe line port, PRTI port, slot ID, power start trigger) this FPGA also control pre-emphasis
amount for each output, normal/diagnosis selecting and data loss reporting, back module
identification.

SD-SDI Serial Video Receiver Modules
Operation
Figure 3-36 PT-HSO-IB+ Module (PT-SFP2X4+BM Back Panel I/O Module Attached)
The PT-HSO-IB+ fiber optical 3G HD-SDI, 1.5G HD-SDI, and SD-SDI serial video receiver
module has 8 SFP-type fiber optical receivers that receive 3 Gb HD, 1.5 Gb HD, and SD serial
digital video data from an LC fiber connector. Four SFP modules, each containing two
channels, are mounted on the metal back panel of the back module. The receivers accept
fiber optical signal within wavelength range of 1260 nm ~ 1610 nm. The SFP module can
be replaced or changed from the back of the frame without removing the front module or
disturbing traffic other than that on the SFP.
The front module receives 8 channel data through the module edge connector. Each
channel is equipped with a reclocker. The reclocker output is split into two identical data
streams by an onboard crosspoint switcher and fed to the MI module via a module edge
connector. The output stage of the switcher also provides a function of pre-emphasis. This
function pre-compensates the transmission line loss for high-speed data, to reduce ISI jitter.
The PT-HSO-IB+ has the capability to support a variety of optional submodules.

The SFP modules provide input data loss report, which is used to drive LEDs on the front
edge of the front module and on the back panel of the back module. The SFP modules also
provide input optical signal power measurement.
Note: Ensure that you upgrade to the latest firmware version (3.5 or later) before installing
an SFP. For details on supported SFPs, see SFP Specifications on page 139.

Figure 3-39 PT-DMX-3G/PT-DMX Submodule
When installed on PM-HS-IB+, PT-HS-IB+, PM-S-IB+ or PT-S-IB+ input modules, the

PT-DMX-3G/PT-DMX submodule operates as an audio de-embedder.1 It demuxes up to 4
groups (16 channels) of audio per SDI path, and transmits up to 128 channels to the
Platinum audio TDM crosspoint.
When operating as an audio de-embedder the PT-DMX-3G/PT-DMX supports an audio TDM

transmitter. In this mode, all 128 channels will be sample rate converted to 48kHz sampling
frequency and locked to the provided reference.

 Embedded audio at 48 kHz sample rate
 Audio Proc (gain, invert, mute)
 Audio Swap with quiet switching
 Audio Sum
 Provides a simple test pattern generator (75% bars, 100% bars, Equalization Test, and
PLL Test)
Note: All video channels need to be either SD, 1.5 G HD-SDI, or 3.0 G HD-SDI. All video
channels must operate at the same frame rate (that is, 29.97 Hz, or 25 Hz, and so on.), and
must be genlocked.
Operation Notes
A Genlock reference must be applied to the PT-DMX-3G/PT-DMX.
All SDI channels applied to the PT-DMX-3G/PT-DMX must be locked to the applied Genlock
Reference.
All signals on an individual input module must have the same format (SD, 1.5G HD, or 3G
HD).
All SDI channels applied to the PT-DMX-3G/PT-DMX must be of the same data rate (SD,
1.5G HD, or 3G HD) and must have the same frame rate.

3G HD-SDI is available as a licensed option.
144 Chapter 3
Input Modules
The module will determine its data rate by the Input Rate parameter. The user can specify it
to be SD, 1.5HD or 3G HD. If set to Auto, the data rate is determined by the first detected
SDI signal (for example, if signals are applied to SDI 1-8, the data rate is determined by
SDI1. If SDI1 is removed, then SDI2 determines the data rate).
The PT-DMX-3G/PT-DMX will automatically bypass a specific SDI channel under the
following conditions:
 No signal is detected and LOV mode is set to Pass Input

 The signal is not locked to the reference and Unlocked SDI Bypass is enabled
 The signal data rate does not match the module’s data rate

Operation
The PT-HSR8C1D-IBG (see PT-HSR8C1D-IBG Input Module) and PT-HSR1D-IBG (see
PT-HSR1D-IBG Input Module) are 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SD-SDI input expansion and receiver
modules intended for use together in two separate Platinum frames, to expand the inputs
of one frame to the second frame (see Input Expansion).
The PT-HSR8C1D-IBG module accepts digital video signals, equalizes and re-clocks data
streams, detects standards and formats, and distributes the signals to the MI backplane to
be switched by the crosspoint matrix and to a high density connector for distribution to a
second frame. Signals up to 3 Gbps are supported.
A DensiShield input port on the PT-HSR1D-IBG module accepts signals from compatible
equipment, providing flexibility and feature support for other applications. This card allows
all inputs from a primary frame to be easily wired to a second frame extending the routing
system to more than 512 outputs.
PT-HSR8C1D-IBG Input Module

The PT-HSR8C1D-IBG is an SD/HD/3G Input module that provides eight electrical inputs via
HD-BNC connectors. These eight inputs can be routed to a second Platinum frame through
the DensiShield Out connector. Looping the output of all inputs extends the routing system
to more than 512 outputs. A single HD-BNC Out connector is also present but not currently
used. Input 9 is also available but currently unused.

HD-BNC Cable Insertion and Extraction Tool

The PT-HSR8C1D-IBG Input Module currently has 8 HD-BNC connectors. HD-BNC
connectors are higher density connectors, much smaller than BNC connectors and can be
hard to reach into. The HD-BNC Cable Insertion and Extraction Tool (Part Number:
SELOPT-TOOL-CABLE) is a separate tool that aids in inserting or extracting cables into the
HD-BNC connectors.

Platinum Multichannel Audio Digital Interface (MADI) Input Module

MADI (Serial Multichannel Audio Digital Interface) is an industry-standard electronic
communications protocol that defines the data format and electrical characteristics of an
interface carrying multiple channels of digital audio. MADI supports multi-channel audio
transmission through copper (coaxial) cable or multi mode fiber cable.
MADI is widely used in the audio industry, especially in the professional sector. Its
advantages over other audio digital interface protocols and standards are support of a
greater number of channels per line.
Platinum now offers MADI support enabling seamless integration of Audio Consoles and
other third party Audio equipment with MADI I/O into the Imagine Communications Audio/
Video routing framework. MADI support is offered through the following standard full
length Platinum boards:
 A four channel MADI input board with electrical or optical back module.
See PT-MADI4X-IBG MADI Input Module on page 159.
 A four channel MADI output board with electrical or optical back module
See PT-MADI4X-OBG - Platinum Multichannel Audio Digital Interface (MADI)

PT-MADI4X-IBG MADI Input Module

The PT-MADI4C-IBG / PT-MADI4O-IBG input module is an AES10-2008 compliant audio
input board that supports three MADI formats: 32 channel (96kHz sample rate) and 56 or
64 channels (48 kHz sample rate).
The PT-MADI4X-IBG is user configurable between one and four inputs, each up to 64 Audio
mono channels (32 AES stereo pairs) of PCM Audio. The four MADI input streams can
comprise up to 256 mono channels, but a maximum of 128 mono channels can be
mapped to the TDM stream. All inputs are converted to a common 48kHz sample rate
prior to merging 128 mono channels into a single TDM stream.

Input Modules
Electrical Back Module

The electrical back module is an active back module attached to the front module with two
brackets and with Cable Equalizers. The back module has four BNC connectors and stays
attached to the front module when pulling the module from the frame. The back module is
fully MADI compliant in terms of its electrical characteristics.
Figure 3-49 PT-MADI4C-IBG electrical back module
Optical Back Module

The optical back module hosts the cages for up to four Dual-Rx Small Form-factor Pluggable
(SFP) Fiber Optic Receivers. In connection with the PT-MADI-IBG front module, only two of
the four ‘cages’ will be used. The back module has to be mounted onto the Platinum frame
and the Front Module detaches from the Back Module when the Front Module is pulled out
from the frame. One Dual-Rx SFP module is pre-installed. The SFP module complies with the
AES10-2008 requirements for optical interfaces. See PT-MADI4O-IBG Specifications for
details.

Figure 3-52 Sync Select Parameter
MADI Presence
MADI Presence on each of the four input streams is automatically detected and reported in
the MADI Present section of the MADI Input category (Navigator parameter interface).
If MADI is present, the following information is reported:
 The number of channels per input stream (32, 56, or 64) along with the sample rate for
each stream.
 Each MADI input is divided into chunks of 16 channels (1-16, 17-32, 33-48, and 49-64)
and these are reported as active or not.
TDM Mapping
Through the PT-MADI4X-IBG parameter interface (Navigator), channels in MADI inputs can
be manually mapped to the TDM stream and you can select if one or all of the MADI inputs
contribute to the stream. A maximum of 128 mono channels can be mapped to the TDM
stream.
The Mapping parameter category provides a MADI to TDM map section in which you can
select the channels in each stream to map to the TDM. For each of the 4 inputs, you can
choose whether or not its channels contribute to the TDM stream. Unused channels in the
TDM stream are muted. Mapping from MADI inputs to the TDM stream has a granularity of
32 channels, aligned at 32-channel boundaries. 56 channel formats are treated as 64
channel formats, with the unused uppermost channels always muted.

PT-HSR8O1D-IBG Fiber Optical Matrix Expansion Input Module
Figure 3-57 PT-HSR8O1D-IBG Front Module
Operation
The PT-HSR8O1D-IBG is a fiber optical input expansion module. It is similar to the
PT-HSR8C1D-IBG Input Module, except that it utilizes an optical back module.
The PT-HSR8O1D-IBG module accepts optical video signals , re-clocks data streams, detects
standards and formats, and distributes the signals to the MI backplane to be switched by
the crosspoint matrix and to a high density connector for distribution to a second frame.
A DensiShield input port on the PT-HSR1D-IBG module accepts signals from compatible
equipment, providing flexibility and feature support for other applications. This card allows
all inputs from a primary frame to be easily wired to a second frame extending the routing
system to more than 512 outputs.
PT-HSR8O1D-IBG Input Module

The PT-HSR8C1D-IBG has four SFP modules mounted on the metal back panel of the back
module, each containing two channels. The receivers accept fiber optical signals within
wavelength range of 1260 nm ~ 1610 nm. The SFP module can be replaced or changed
from the back of the frame without removing the front module or disturbing traffic other
than that on the SFP.
The eight inputs can be routed to a second Platinum frame through the DensiShield Out
connector. Looping the output of all inputs extends the routing system to more than 512
outputs. Input 9 and Output 9 are also available but currently unused.

Frame Synchronizer and Demultiplexing Input Modules

(PT-FSDMX-IBG, PT-FSDMXO-IBG, PT-FSDX8C1D-IBG, PT-FSDX8O1D-IBG)
The 8 Channel Platinum Frame Synchronizer and Demux Input Board adds Video and Audio
processing to input boards in the Platinum Frame. Each SDI path is processed independently,
and supports SD, 1.5Gb/s HD, 3Gb/s HD and Dual Link formats.
Note: The PT-FSDMX-IBG boards can consume substantial power, depending on operating
conditions. Refer the Power Consumption section for details on power consumption per
module. Ensure that the Platinum frame system has a sufficient number of power supplies
to meet the demand resulting from the actual number of boards installed.

 See PT-FSDMX-IBG Licensing for license options
 See Back Module Variants for the various back module options.
 Controllable Parameters (PT-FSDMX-IBG and its variants) apply to all variants.
The PT-FSDMX-IBG input board runs in Demux-only mode (PT-FSDMX-IBG without Frame
Sync Option) and Framesync mode (PT-FSDMX-IBG with Frame Sync Option).
Note: Gennum is the supported SFP for all Platinum Framesync Optical Input modules.
Firmware version v3.2 and higher supports all PT-FSDMX-IBG versions. Due to XML file
changes, when compared to older firmware versions, it is strongly recommended to
upgrade all PT-FSDMX-IBG boards (and variants) in the same frame simultaneously.

Equalization Information for PT-FSDX8C1D-IBG

The cable length is 300 meters, Belden 8281, but the following applies in addition:
Note: The PT-FSDX8C1D-IBG uses an extended 3G-reach equalization. When combined

with Belden 8281 coaxial cable, a pathological pattern, and a non-SPMTE424
(6.1.7)-compliant signal with excessive output amplitude excursions, the source
equalization may be reduced to between 200 and 300 m for SD-SDI signal.
This condition typically only occurs with older SD-SDI equipment having a 1uF capacitor on
the output. All recent and multi-rate SD/HD/3G equipment is compliant with the standard
(has at least a 4.7uF capacitor on the output), and can achieve 300 m with 8281 cable and
pathological pattern.

Video Processing Notes

 VANC/HANC Data other than embedded Audio is not processed. Closed
Captioning data, Teletext data or SMPTE 12M Timecode (LTC, VITC), for instance,
will be dropped or repeated together with the active video content, every time the
Frame Synchronizer drops or repeats a frame.
 VANC/HANC data for Delay mode channels (including embedded Audio), all is
passed through the delay memory unprocessed. Ancillary data remains untouched.
The absolute delay from In to Out can be changed arbitrarily within the predefined
limits.
 SMPTE 372M Dual-Link formats supported, with 16 (mono) channels of Audio
processed. Processed Video/Audio data exits the board as a single 3Gb/s stream.
 Non-PCM Audio data (Dolby-E or Dolby-D) is not processed by the Audio
Synchronizer / Audio Delay / Audio ProcAmp processing blocks. It is passed
alongside the active video content through the Video Frame Synchronizer memory
and a frame's worth of non-PCM data is dropped or repeated - together with the
active video content every time the Video Frame Synchronizer drops or repeats a
frame.
Audio Processing Features

The following audio functionality is supported per SDI channel
 De-embedding 4 groups (16 mono channels) of Audio prior to the Frame/Audio

Synchronizer
 Embedding 4 groups (16 mono channels) of Audio after the Frame/Audio Synchronizer.
 Sample Rate Conversion (with bypass capability on a per stereo-pair basis)
 Audio Synchronizer
 Audio Delay (up to 3000ms / mono channel)
 Audio Proc (Gain, Mute, Invert)
 Audio Sum (on a per mono-channel basis, but based on a pre-defined list of Sums)
 Audio Swap (on a per mono-channel basis, but based on a pre-defined list of Swaps)
 Audio Test Tone Generator (Off, 400Hz, 2kHz, 4kHz)
 Quiet Audio Transitions when two sources of same data- and frame-rate are
switched upstream
Audio Processing Notes and Restrictions

 De-embedding: For De-embedding, audio must be embedded synchronously at a
sample rate of 48kHz.
 Embedded Dolby-E frames must be properly aligned with the Video frame in
order to be transferred from the Frame Synchronizer’s input clock domain into the
output clock domain. Proper alignment (position of guard-band) is important since
Dolby-E frames can be dropped or repeated alongside the active video content.
 Embedded Audio: All embedded Audio is embedded synchronously at a sample
rate of 48kHz
 TDMed Audio data (all 128 mono channels) will have a sample rate of 48kHz and
will be in the same Audio clock domain, locked to the applied Video Reference
 SMPTE 372M (Dual link): Only the 16 audio channels de-embedded from Link A
will be processed, re-embedded into the Link A of the outgoing SDI stream and
sent via TDM to the ATDM Crosspoint for further routing.
 Also see Word Length, ADS Clean, and Group Active Channels
The de-embedded, sample rate converted and processed audio data of all 8 SDI channels is
provided to the audio crosspoint for distribution.

4 Swap/Copy
5 Mute (if enabled)
188 Chapter 3
Input Modules
Note: If an Audio channel conveys non-PCM data, such as Dolby-E/D, and a test tone for
such channel gets enabled, the non-PCM data will be replaced with PCM data (the 'tone').
'Mute' also works on non-PCM data, but all other Audio processing operations (Polarity
Reversal, Level Adjust, Sum, Swap/Copy) will have no effect on non-PCM data.
Sample Rate Conversion

 Non-PCM Audio data (such as Dolby-E/D) cannot be sample rate converted, and is
transferred from the input clock domain to the output clock domain by dropping or
repeating a full frame of non-PCM data, every time the Video Frame Synchronizer
reaches its roll-over point.
 The downstream clock for the SRCs will be locked to the applied Video reference.
 The clock transfer of non-PCM data by dropping or repeating a frame worth of data
works if (1) Framesync option is installed (2) The SDI channel(s) with embedded
non-PCM data qualify for Framesync mode (frame-rate of the ingested signal(s) match
the frame-rate of the Reference signal) (3) ADS Clean is set to ‘No’.
Quiet Audio Transitions

 Quiet audio transitions are “popless” transitions when two sources of the same data
and frame rate are switched upstream in the serial domain (e.g. by an upstream router).
 These transitions work independent of whether the two sources are synchronous or
asynchronous to each other or with respect to the reference signal, and it works
regardless of the switching point.
 There are no user controllable parameters for adjusting the timing of the transition.
 The transition is triggered when the video_present flag gets temporarily de-asserted
because of a discontinuity in the incoming SDI stream, caused by the asynchronous
switch in the serial domain. When this happens, the Audio De-embedder has still 32
good audio samples in its output buffer, amounting to roughly 666us worth of audio
data at a 48kHz sample rate. Those samples are being used for a fast, yet clean
fade-out of the audio data, originating from the old source. The following diagram
illustrates the timing of a transition from source A to B (PCM Audio):
Switch
Video from Source A Video from Source B
Video Source A can be frozen for one frame .

This depends on whether the switch happens

The following conditions must be met:
 The two video sources, that get switched upstream, must be of the same data- and
frame-rate. They can be asynchronous with respect to each other and with respect to
the reference signal, that is applied to the board.
 The channel that is supposed to produce a clean and quiet output must be operated in
Frame Sync mode (Frame Sync license is required).
 ADS Clean must be turned on.
PT-FSDMX-IBG Licensing
PT-FSDMX-IBG without Frame Sync Option

Without Framesync, the module behaves like an advanced version of the PT-DEMUX, with
the following differences over the basic PT-DEMUX:
 SDI data going into the PT-FSDMX-IBG no longer has to be of a common data-rate in
order to be processed (de-embedding audio data from the SDI streams and sending
processed Audio data via TDM to the Audio crosspoint). A mix of SD, HD, and 3G
operation between channels of matching frame rate is supported.
 De-embedded PCM Audio of all SDI channels, regardless of their frame and data rate is
sample-rate-converted into a common downstream Audio clock domain (locked to
Video Reference) and can be processed (Gain, Mute, Invert, Sum, Swap) before the
Audio channels get combined into a single 128 channel TDM stream.
 Processed Audio can be re-embedded into the outgoing SDI stream if the incoming SDI
stream is locked to the Video Reference. Re-embedding of the processed Audio data is
controlled via the Group Embedding Mode parameter. See Group Embedding Mode
(8 x 4) †
190 Chapter 3
Input Modules
 SDI channels conveying Dolby E must be locked to the Video Reference since non-PCM
data cannot be sample-rate-converted (the Framesync option is required for
transferring non-PCM data from input to output clock domain by dropping/repeating
frames).
PT-FSDMX-IBG with Frame Sync Option

Frame sync is a licensable option. To acquire a Frame Sync license, contact your Customer
Service representative. Use the License Key parameter to add a license to the module.
Modules with the optional Frame Sync license have these additional features:
 Video Frame Synchronizer and Delay

 Audio Synchronizer
Modules with the Frame Sync license installed operate in the following modes:
 Framesync mode—SDI channels are genlocked to a common reference source, which

can be either NTSC, PAL or TriLevel. Your video reference has to be the same frame rate
as your input. The input channels can be asynchronous to each other.
 Delay mode—SDI channels will be processed in their recovered input clock domain. In
Delay mode, some restrictions apply to the processing of Audio data. See Table 3-68
for more details.
 Mixed operation—Some channels run in Framesync mode while others run in Delay
mode.
When operating the Frame Sync in Delay mode, the audio embedders are automatically
turned off. Any ancillary data will be passed unprocessed (aside from any video delay). ADS
Clean (wiping out the entire ancillary data space) can still be applied if the user wishes to do
so. If the input video frame rate does not match the genlock frame rate for a channel, that
channel is automatically placed into Delay Mode. This information is reflected in the Frame
Sync Status parameter.
Features based on Licensing

 FS=Framesync Mode with Framesync License
 DLY=Delay Mode with Framesync License
 DMX=Demux-only Operation without Framesync License
 * Low latency Mode is only available when processing 3G SDI (1080p50/59/60 Level A

Upgrading the firmware on PT-FSDMX-IBG module takes approximately 50 minutes.

Multiple (identical) boards can be upgraded at once in batches of up to 16 boards (= one
'zone'). A 'batch' upgrade takes about as long as upgrading a single board.
Always wait for the 'Firmware upgrade successful' message before power-cycling the
system, exchanging boards, or carrying out any other maintenance work that could
interfere with the upgrade process. Do not interrupt the power supply or tamper with a
board while an upgrade is in progress. This could corrupt the firmware, necessitating a
restart of the upgrade process.
Note: If the Software Version shows 0.00, this indicates that the PT-FSDMX-IBG is in failsafe
mode. In this mode, the board will only support upgrade operations and basic control with
the Platinum Resource module. You can perform software upgrades as usual while the
module is in failsafe mode, but after the upgrade is completed, the module will need to be
hot-swapped in order to have the new firmware take effect.

This diagram shows the video and audio data paths for a single channel through the
module. This path is duplicated for each of the module’s eight channels.

Input Modules
Notes:
ADS Clean
In all modes of operation (Framesync/Delay/Demux-only mode), ADS Clean set to Yes
wipes out all HANC data with the exception of EDH (SD only).
When a channel is operated in Framesync mode or if a board without a Framesync

license (Demux-only) has the ingested SDI signal already locked to the reference signal
applied to the board, the Audio Embedder re-populates the HANC space with Audio
data coming from the Audio processor. In order for the Audio Embedder to re-populate
empty HANC space, the group embedding mode has to be set to either ‘Auto’ or
‘Append’. Overwrite only applies if there is ’something’ to overwrite.
When operating a channel in Framesync mode, use ADS Clean with extra caution
because it wipes out any non-PCM Audio data (Dolby E/D) which is lost forever.
Non-PCM Audio data is not re-embedded by the Audio Embedder, since all non-PCM
data bypasses the Audio processor altogether. With ADS Clean set to ‘Yes’, non-PCM
Audio data will no longer appear in the outgoing SDI stream or show up in the TDM
stream going to the Audio crosspoint. To counter this, a new Audio Synchronizer IP is
required where the clock domain transfer of Dolby data (by dropping or repeating a
frame worth of Dolby data) happens in the Audio Synchronizer’s memory rather than in
the Video Frame-synchronizer’s memory.
Word Length
The Word Length (x8) parameter can be set through the Audio section of the GUI to
16, 20, or 24 bits on a per SDI channel basis. 20 bits is the default and is applicable
when the video standard is SD-SDI (525/625).
If the SD-SDI Video has extended Audio packets (which can apply to any of up to four
groups of embedded Audio), Audio data embedded in such group(s) should have a
word length of 24 bits. When the processed audio data word length is 20 bits
(determined by parameter ‘Word Length' parameter), the Audio Embedder cannot
overwrite existing extended Audio packets. There are 2 options in this case:
 Turn on ADS Clean prior to re-embedding new Audio data, to wipe out any
existing Audio packets (regular and extended).
 Set the Word Length (x8) parameter for the SDI channel in question to match the
word length of the Audio data embedded in the incoming SDI stream.
The Word Length bits for processed Audio data are not auto-detected (based on the
detected word length of the embedded Audio data) and set. This is to allow the
flexibility for users to steer the word length of the re-embedded Audio data such that it
matches the word length of Audio data that originates from a different source (for
example, Audio received via TDM).
Group Active Channels

Due to the absence of audio control packets in SD-SDI modes, there is no (easy) way for
the Audio De-embedder to figure out whether channels within any of the present
groups are active or not. This is why in SD-SDI modes, even if audio channels are active,
their presence is reported as 'None/Unknown'. There is not enough room in the control
space to extend the number of choices in order to notify the user that the information
is not available because of the SD format.
Video Frame Synchronization

The frame synchronizer offers two modes of operation: Delay mode and Synchronizer
(Sync) mode. These modes can be chosen using the Frame Sync / Demux Mode (x 8)
†parameter.
 In FS: Delay mode mode, the output video is synchronized to the input video.
 In FS: Sync mode mode, the output video is synchronized to the reference video.
The reference standard you can use depends on the output video standard you
have set.

In both Sync mode and Delay mode, PT-FSDMX provides several controls to manipulate
the output video signal:
 Horizontal timing
 Vertical timing
202 Chapter 3
Input Modules
 Adjustable frame delay
Manually freeze output video on first or second field (interlaced standards), or on the
whole frame (all standards)
Audio Synchronization
By default, PT-FSDMX-IBG and its variants synchronize de-embedded audio with timing
information from the video frame synchronizer prior to re-embedding the audio.
When operating an SDI channel in Frame Sync mode (FS license must be installed) and
if the ingested signal qualifies for Framesync operation (frame-rate matches the
frame-rate of the selected Reference signal), the de-embedded audio will be
automatically delayed to match the video delay. Additionally, up to three seconds of
delay can be added through the Audio Channel Delay see Audio Channel Delay (8
x 16)) parameter.
Group (1-4) Deembedding Control

The following are options for the Group (1–4) Deembedding Control (Group
Deembed Control (8 x 4)) parameter.

Item Description
Repeat Upon detection of a de-embedding error, the de-embedder
repeats the last good AES sample.
Mute Upon detection of a de-embedding error, the de-embedder

Table 3-72 Audio Test Tones

Test Tone Frequency
Test Tone 1 400 Hz
Test Tone 2 1 kHz
Test Tone 3 2 kHz
Test Tone 4 4 kHz
Fast Video Switch

When input video is switched between two sources while both sources are within
vertical blanking, use the Fast Switch (see Fast Switch (x 8) †) parameter to enable
fast video switching between the sources. In this mode, output video is not frozen
when both sources are within the vertical blanking area when the switch takes place.
Audio Embedding Modes

Each video channel has an audio embedder component composed of several smaller
subcomponent blocks:
 One ancillary data stripper (ADS)
 Four audio embedding subcomponents

The first subcomponent is an ancillary data stripper (ADS). This block removes all
ancillary data packets in the input SDI stream, prior to embedding. Following the ADS
block are four separate audio-embedding subcomponents. Each subcomponent has the
ability to operate on only one audio group, either appending or overwriting a
predetermined group onto the SDI stream.
The audio embedding modes are Audio Group (1–4) Embedding Mode parameters.
Table 3-73 briefly describes the Append, OverWrite, and Auto options available from
each of the embedding modes.
Table 3-73 Embedding Mode Options

Options Description
Append Attempts to insert the audio data and control packets immediately
following the last existing audio data/control packet in the horizontal
ancillary region (See Append Embedding)
OverWrite Attempts to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the same
group number with the new audio data (See Overwrite Embedding)
Auto Attempts first to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the
same audio group number; failing that, it appends the new audio data and
control packets immediately following the last existing audio data/control
packet (refer to the Audio Group (1–4) Exists parameters to determine
what audio groups are already present in the incoming SDI signal)
Off Disables embedding of audio data and control packets on a per group
basis.
Append Embedding
When you select Append embedding, the module attempts to insert the audio data
and control packets immediately following the last existing data/control packet in the
horizontal ancillary data space (ADS). Append embedding is only valid if the audio
group to be embedded does not already exist.
Figure 3-73 shows how append embedding will appear in the ancillary data space
when there is no previous audio or other data.

be embedded, as shown in Figure 3-78.

Overwrite Embedding
When you select Overwrite embedding, the module attempts to overwrite any existing
audio data and control packets of the same group number with the new audio data.
This setting is valid only if the audio group to be embedded already exists. If the new
sample distribution does not exactly match the existing audio data packet sample
distribution, the embedder will mark some audio data packets for deletion (DID word
will be set to 180h).When you attempt Overwrite embedding and there is no previous
audio (as in Figure 3-79), no audio is embedded because there is nothing to overwrite.

Power-Up sequence
Due to the complexity of the board and its parameter list, it takes about 2.5 minutes (for
PT-FSDMX-IBG/PT-FSDMXO-IBG) and 3 minutes (for PT-FSDX8C1D-IBG/PT-FSDX8O1D-IBG)
after power-cycling a board before it is fully operational. About 30 seconds after
power-cycling, a board is ready to detect input signals, but it outputs a 75% color bar test
pattern of the same video standard as the detected input signal until the PT-RES Resource
Card has completed uploading the previously used configuration (parameters). The
readiness of the board is reflected by the read-only Control Status [RO] parameter.
Firmware Upgrade and Backup Image

The PT-FSDMX-IBG board is equipped with a non-volatile Flash Memory, which stores
multiple revisions (at least two) of the FPGA(s) bitfile(s). The Flash Memory, which is
attached to and controlled by the MicroBlaze CPU (Xilinx Spartan6), can be upgraded
entirely or partially through the PIPE interface.
208 Chapter 3
Input Modules
If the upgrade procedure of the currently used revision fails because of unexpected power
failure, brownout or system instability whilst the upgrade was in progress, the CPU will
automatically revert to the ‘known-good-working’ revision, next time the FPGAs get
reloaded. The last ‘known-good-working’ revision becomes the new ‘golden’ revision,
which must not be overwritten next time a firmware upgrade is initiated. This ‘ping-pong’
upgrade scheme guarantees that there is always an uncorrupted and working image of the
FPGA bitfile stored in Flash Memory.
The modules maintain a backup image of the last working firmware at all times. In the
event of an upgrade failure, the module will revert back to its backup image to maintain
operation on the board. You can verify the version that is current running on the module by
looking at the version parameters: Software Version, Control FPGA version and
Processing FPGA version.
If Software Version shows 0.0, this means that the module is in failsafe mode

Figure 4-1 Typical Platinum Output Module
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.

 The yellow LED labeled “ACT OUT” is the active output warning. It shows that an
active input signal is being switched to this output module.
 The LED labeled “ACT CTRL” is the control system acknowledgment. The LED shows a
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 4-38 on page 289 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.

Operation
Figure 4-3 PM-HSR-OBG+/PT-HSR-OBG+ Module
The PM-HSR-OBG+ and PT-HSR-OBG+ are HD-SDI/SD-SDI output modules with reclocking.
These modules receive 32 digital differential signal pairs (3 Mb/s to 2.97 Gb/s) from the
crosspoint matrix, provide secondary switching, reclock SMPTE as well as ASI (270 Mb/s)
signals, and send them to the drivers designed to drive 75 loads. They support any digital
signal between 3 Mb/s and 2.97 Gb/s, with reclocking for the most common 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 on page 216. An 8×1 differential
crosspoint selects the output monitoring signal.
The OBG+ modules provide power saving features not available in previous OB+ modules.
Individual channels are automatically powered down when no signal is present, or when the
output is not terminated. These features can save up to 2.7 Watts on each output module

1.485 Gb/s only. If this reclocking is successful, the corresponding signal mode
presence LED is illuminated.
Automatic If reclocking is not successful, received data appears at the output of the Default
bypass reclocker 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 Default
corresponding 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.

Figure 4-13 PM-SR-OBG+/PT-SR-OBG+ Module
The PM-SR-OB+/PT-SR-OBG+ are digital multi-rate output modules with reclocking. These
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 75 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 a 270 Mb/s data rate (this mode
is the default mode)
 Manual mode: manually sets a 270 Mb/s 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 75 output driver feeding the 75 BNC.
An 8×1 differential crosspoint selects the output monitoring signal.
The OBG+ modules provide power saving features not available in previous OB+ modules.
Individual channels are automatically powered down when no signal is present, or when the
output is not terminated. These features can save up to 2.7 Watts on each output module

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

The 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.

PT-HSR1310S-OB: Fiber Optical HD/SD Serial Video Transmitter

Module
Operation
Figure 4-37 PT-HSR1310S-OB Module (PT-FO-BMO Back Panel I/O Module Attached)
The PT-HSR1310S-OB is a fiber optical HD/SD serial video transmitter module. Each module
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.
On PT-HSR1310S-OB modules, the channel status LEDs are bicolor, as follows:

 Each SDI channel supports the following audio functionality:

 Embedded 4 groups (16 mono channels)
 Embedded audio at 48 kHz sample rate
 Audio Proc (gain, invert, mute)
 Audio Swap with quiet switching
 Audio Sum
 Option available to remove/clean embedded audio
 Each submodule operates in either 3 Gb/s, HD, or SD mode, although not more than 1
format simultaneously on the same module
1 All audio to be embedded must be locked to the reference that is applied to the Mux.
2
All 128 channels of audio from the audio TDM crosspoint already must be locked to this reference.
3 3G HD-SDI is available as a licensed option.
 All SDI inputs are genlocked to the same video reference

 Provides a simple test pattern generator (full field color bars)
Operation Notes
A Genlock reference must be applied to the PT-MX-SB.
All SDI channels applied to the PT-MX-SB must be locked to the applied Genlock Reference.
All SDI channels applied to the PT-MX-SB must be of the same data rate (SD, 1.5G HD, or
3G HD) and must have the same frame rate.
The module will determine its data rate by the Input Rate parameter.
The user can specify it to be SD, 1.5HD or 3G HD. If set to Auto, the data rate is determined
by the first detected SDI signal. (For example, if signals are applied to SDI 1-8, the data rate
is determined by SDI1. If SDI1 is removed, then SDI2 determines the data rate.)
The PT-MX-SB will automatically bypass a specific SDI channel under the following
conditions:
 No signal is detected and LOV mode is set to Pass Input

 The signal is not locked to the reference and Unlocked SDI Bypass is enabled
 The signal data rate does not match the module’s data rate

3 Sum
4 Swap/Copy
5 Mute (if enabled)
Note: All video channels need to be either SD, 1.5 G HD-SDI, or 3.0 G HD-SDI. All video
channels must operate at the same frame rate (for example, 29.97Hz or 25Hz, and so
forth), and must be genlocked.

frame rate is determined by the TSG
Standard 1
For example, if TSG Standard 1 is
720p60, the data rate is 1.5G HD and
the frame rate is 60Hz
This data rate and frame rate apply for
all 8 SDI channels; however, for 1.5G
data rates it is possible to mix 1080i
and 720p standards (for example, some
can be 720p60 and others 1080i60)
You cannot mix SD, 1.5G HD and 3.0G
HD data rates
You cannot mix 50Hz, 59.94Hz and
60Hz modes; all standards need to be
either 1/1 or 1/1.001
This mode should be used with
caution; it is intended for use when the
system is being tested or commissioned

PT-MADI4X-OBG - Platinum Multichannel Audio Digital Interface

(MADI) Output Module
MADI (Serial Multichannel Audio Digital Interface) is an industry-standard electronic
communications protocol that defines the data format and electrical characteristics of an
interface carrying multiple channels of digital audio. MADI supports multi-channel audio
transmission through copper (coaxial) cable or multi mode fiber cable.
MADI is widely used in the audio industry, especially in the professional sector. Its
advantages over other audio digital interface protocols and standards are support of a
greater number of channels per line.
Platinum now offers MADI support enabling seamless integration of Audio Consoles and
other third party Audio equipment with MADI I/O into the Imagine Communications Audio/
Video routing framework. MADI support is offered through the following standard full
length Platinum boards:
 A four channel MADI input board and electrical or optical back module.
See PT-MADI4X-IBG MADI Input Module on page 159.
 A four channel MADI output board and electrical or optical back module
See PT-MADI4X-OBG Output Module on page 302.

Output Modules

The PT-MADI4C-OBG / PT-MADI4O-OBG output module is an AES10-2008 (MADI)
compliant audio output board that supports two MADI formats: 56 and 64 channels. Audio
data is encapsulated into the MADI transport stream at a sample rate of 48kHz and typically
locked to the same Reference as the TDM Receiver.
The PT-MADI4X-OBG output module can encode up to128 TDM audio channels into up to
4 MADI outputs, with each output capable of up to 64 channels each (or 32 AES stereo
pairs) of PCM Audio or non-PCM data, such as Dolby-E or Dolby-D.
Electrical Back Module

The PT-MADI4C-OBG output module has a built-in electrical back module that provides 4
BNC connectors (there are a total of 8 connectors but the last 4 are unused and covered).
Figure 4-43 PT-MADI4C-OBG Output Module
Optical Back Module

The PT-MADI4O-OBG Optical (Multi-mode Fiber) SFP Back Module is same one used for
the MADI Optical Input Module; break away tabs determine if the back module is to be
used as input or output. The Back Module hosts the cages for up to four Dual-Rx Small
Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Fiber Optic Modules (Rx or Tx). Only two of the four ‘cages’ will
be used. The back module has to be mounted onto the Platinum frame and the Front
Module detaches from the Back Module when the Front Module is pulled out from the
frame.
The PT-MADI4O-OBG comes pre-fitted with one MADI compliant, Dual-Tx SFP module. See
Specifications for details.

Controlling the MADI Output Module through Navigator

You can access and control PT-MADI4x-OBG parameters through Navigator. Follow these
steps to discover your module:
304 Chapter 4
Output Modules
Discovery
1 Start Navigator. Ensure you are in Build Mode (File > Operational Mode > Build).
2 Click Tools > Discovery and then click the Options button.
3 Click the Add button and provide the IP address to the (Platinum) frame that contains your
PT-MADI4C-OBG module. Ensure you place a check beside the appropriate checkbox in the
Select Products for Discovery section.
4 Click OK and then OK again. Click the Start button to start the Discovery.
5 Once Discovery is complete, click the Save button.
Using Navigator Control Mode

1 Switch to Control Mode (File > Operational Mode > Control).
Note: If you do not want to use Navigator Control mode (available in the 30 day trial
version and the paid version of Navigator), you can also control your MADI module through
the Build mode (see Using Navigator Build Mode).
2 In the Navigation pane, expand the contents of the Discovery Folder and drill down to your
PT-MADI4X-OBG module under Output Cards in the Platinum frame.
3 Double click the PT-MADI4X-OBG Module to open up the Parameters.
For more details on the parameters, see PT-MADI4X-OBG Parameters on page 308.
Using Navigator Build Mode

Once you discover your PT-MADI4x-OBG module and save the results of your discovery (see
Steps 1-5 in Controlling the MADI Output Module through Navigator), follow these
steps:
1 in the Navigation pane expand the Routing Group<Your Platinum Frame IP> icon, then
double click the Platinum Frame icon.
2 This opens up the Edit Platinum Frame dialog. Go to the Detected Matrices tab.
3 A list of Input and Output modules are displayed on the right of the dialog.Right click the
MADI option under the Output column and select the View Output Module option.
4 The Module Parameters dialog displays a list of all output parameters.
Figure 4-46 Module Parameters for PT-MADI4C-OBG
Read only parameters show their status in Gray, for example, the TDM Reference Present
parameter. All other parameters can be set by double clicking and selecting options from
the popup that is displayed. For example, in the PT-MADI4C-OBG, if you double click the
MADI Reference Source parameter, a popup dialog enables you to select Same as TDM
Ref, Sync1, Sync2, or Sync3.
Figure 4-47 MADI Reference Source Parameter

306 Chapter 4
Output Modules
Reference Locking
Reference locking is controlled by the following parameters:
 TDM Reference Source in the TDM Locking category

(options are Sync1, Sync2, or Sync3)
 MADI Reference source in the MADI Locking category
(options are Sync1, Sync2, Sync3, or Same as TDM Ref.)
By default, audio encapsulated into the MADI transport stream is locked to the same
reference as the TDM receiver.
Using the TDM reference for MADI (default option)
If you select the same reference for MADI as for TDM (“Same as TDM Ref” option),
non-PCM data such as Dolby-E or Dolby-D can also be encapsulated into the MADI
transport stream.
Using a separate (non-TDM) reference for MADI
If the reference signal for MADI is different than the one used for TDM locking, channels
conveying non-PCM data (such as Dolby-E/D) are destroyed. Non-PCM data becomes
unusable because of a sample-rate conversion process that transfers received TDM data into
a new clock domain (MADI). As a workaround - for example, when you need to lock the
TDM data to a video reference - lock the MADI audio data to an unrelated 48kHz DARS
reference.
TDM Input
The TDM Input section reports on audio presence and format for each of the 128 mono
audio channels that can be received by the TDM receiver. Possible Audio formats are PCM,
non-PCM, Dolby-E, and Dolby-D.
TDM Output Mapping

You can map portions of the TDM stream to one or more of the four MADI outputs. The
MADI Output Format section provides mapping options for each of the 4 MADI Outputs.
You can map predefined channel ranges in chunks of 56 or 64 channels. The following
options are available:
 TDM 1-56 (56 channels)

PT-HSRMX8C/PT-HSRMX8O-OBG Frame Synchronizer and Mux Output

Module
The PT-HSRMX8C/8O-OBG is an 8 Channel Frame Synchronizer and Mux Output Board
that provides Video and Audio processing in the Platinum Frame.
Video and Audio Frame Synchronizers are available for each of the 8 SDI channels in
addition to Audio Mux functionality. Each SDI path is processed independently with support
for SD, 1.5 Gb/s HD, 3 Gb/s HD, and 3 Gb/s Dual Link formats. ASI signals are reported and
processing stages are automatically bypassed. Framesync and Delay modes are available. For
more details, see Audio Processing, Video Processing, and Operation Modes.
The PT-HSRMX8C/8O-OBG consists of a front module and different back module options.
The Front Module accommodates all active components, such as CPU, Processing FPGAs,
DDR2 Memory, Clocking and Genlock circuits and POL (Point-of-Load) power supplies.
The PT-HSRMX8C/8O-OBG boards consume up to 65 watts per board, depending on

operating conditions. Ensure that the Platinum frame system has a sufficient number of
power supplies to meet the demand resulting from the actual number of boards installed.
Two Back Module variants (electrical and optical) provide external connectivity through
electrical (BNC) or fiber optic outputs.
PT-HSRMX8C-OBG Electrical Output Module

The PT-HSRMX8C-OBG is a Platinum SD/HD/3G Mux Output module with 8 BNC
connectors. This back module stays affixed to the front module when pulling it out of the
frame.
See Electrical Output (Back Module with 8 BNCs) for specifications.

The PT-HSRMX8O-OBG is a Platinum SD/HD/3G Mux Output module with 8 LC-type Fiber
connectors (4 Dual Tx SFP modules). The fiber back module gets mounted into the rear of
the frame and is secured with screws. The front module detaches from the back module
when the front module is pulled from the frame.
See Optical Output (Fiber Back Modules with 4 SFPs) for specifications.

Power-Up sequence
Due to the complexity of the board and its parameter list, it takes about 2 minutes after
power-cycling a board before it is fully operational.About 10 seconds after power-cycling, a
board is ready to detect input signals, but the outputs will not become active until the
PT-Resource card has completed uploading the previously used configuration (parameters).
The readiness of the board is reflected by the read-only Control Status parameter. See the
Control Status parameter for details.
Firmware Upgrade and Backup Image

The PT-HSRMX8C-OBG and PT-HSRMX8O-OBG modules maintain a backup image of the
last working firmware at all times. In the event of an upgrade failure, the module will revert
back to its backup image to maintain operation on the board. You can verify the version
that is currently running on the module by looking at the version parameter Version
(MK20_App_S6_V6)
Upgrading the firmware on PT-HSRMX8C-OBG and PT-HSRMX8O-OBG modules takes

approximately 30 minutes. Multiple (identical) boards can be upgraded at once in batches
of up to 16 boards (= one 'zone'). A 'batch' upgrade takes about as long as upgrading a
single board.
Always wait for the 'Firmware upgrade successful' message before power-cycling the
system, exchanging boards, or carrying out any other maintenance work that could
interfere with the upgrade process. Do not interrupt the power supply or tamper with a
board while an upgrade is in progress. This could corrupt the firmware, necessitating a
restart of the upgrade process.
After a successful firmware upgrade, the upgraded board(s) will automatically reboot and
will start unpacking the newly installed firmware components. This process can take up to 2
minutes and should not be interrupted. In case the board is removed from the frame or a
power outage happens whilst the board is preparing the newly installed firmware, it will
retry as soon as the board is plugged back into the frame or power is resumed.
Operation Modes
There are different operation modes available, depending on whether or not you have a
Framesync license:
Operation Mode Option

MUX only mode (Without Framesync License) MUX: Auto Detect
MUX: Always On
Bypass Mode
Framesync Mode and Delay Mode (with Framesync License) Frame Sync: Sync Mode
Frame Sync: Delay Mode
Bypass Mode
MUX only mode (Without Framesync License)

For proper audio muxing operation, each SDI channel destined for Audio MUX must be
locked to the Reference signal provided to the board. While SDI channels can be of different
data rates (e.g. SD SDI, HD, HD 3G), their field/frame-rates need to match the those of the
applied Reference.
In the Frame Sync / Mux Mode menu, the following modes of operation can be selected on
a per SDI channel basis:
 MUX: Auto Detect

 MUX: Always On
 Bypass Mode
314 Chapter 4
Output Modules
MUX: Auto Detect

Note: MUX: Auto Detect is the recommended operation mode for boards without a
framesync license.
This mode auto checks if SDI channels are locked to the Reference signal provided to the
board.
 For Locked SDI channels:

 All supported Audio muxing operations are applicable
 Frame Sync / Mux Status menu reports locked channels as Mux: Locked
 CHANNEL STATUS LED associated with the SDI channel at the front card edge
will be lit green
 For Unlocked SDI channels:
 No Audio muxing will be performed and the channel will bypass all processing
stages on the board, including TSG operation
 Frame Sync / Mux Status menu reports unlocked channels as Bypass
 CHANNEL STATUS LED at the front card edge associated with the SDI channel
will be off
MUX: Always On
Note: For channels that are asynchronous to the Reference, re-embedded Audio will suffer
disturbances.
In this mode, SDI channels are processed (audio muxing operations are supported),
regardless of whether the channel is locked to the Reference signal.
 For Locked SDI channels:

 Frame Sync / Mux Status menu reports locked channels as Mux: Locked
will be lit green
 For Unlocked SDI channels:
 Frame Sync / Mux Status menu reports unlocked channels as Mux:
Unlocked
will be lit Red
Bypass Mode
In Bypass mode:
 SDI channels bypass all processing stages including TSG operation
 No Audio muxing takes place when operating a channel in Bypass mode
 Frame Sync / Mux Status menu reports channels operating in Bypass mode as
Bypass
Framesync Mode and Delay Mode (with Framesync License)

Framesync is a licensable option. If you do not have the Framesync license, this feature will
not be available. To acquire a Framesync license, contact your Customer Service
representative. A license can be added for the module using the License Key parameter.
Framesync is required if the incoming SDI data is asynchronous to the reference signal
applied to the board. With Framesync (PT-FSOB-OPT) installed, incoming SDI data does not
need to have a common data rate to be processed (muxing audio back into SDI streams). A
mix of SD, HD, 3G, 3G DL is supported for channels with the same frame rate. If the input
signal and reference signal have different frame rates, inputs are processed in Delay mode
(no audio muxing) See Frame Sync: Delay Mode.
In the Frame Sync / Mux Mode menu, the following operation modes can be selected (on a
per SDI channel basis):
 Frame Sync: Sync Mode

 Frame Sync: Delay Mode
 Bypass Mode
Frame Sync: Sync Mode

An SDI channel qualifies for Frame Sync: Sync Mode if its field or frame rate matches that
of the Reference signal provided to the board.
 If no Reference is present but the operation mode is set to Frame Sync: Sync Mode
 The outgoing signal will be locked to a local and fixed 27MHz high precision
Reference.
 The Frame Sync / Mux Status menu will report channels set to Frame Sync: Sync
Mode as Frame Sync: Local Lock.
 If an external Reference signal is applied to the frame (e.g. 525 or 625 Black, HD
tri-level Sync), if the proper Reference Input has been selected for the board, if the
Reference is being detected as ‘Present’ and ‘Locked’ and if the SDI channel’s field-or
frame-rate matches the rate of the Reference signal
 Video- and embedded Audio-data will be processed and synchronized to the
applied Reference.
Mode as Frame Sync: Ext Lock.
 If a Reference is present and locked, but the SDI channel’s field or frame rate doesn’t
match the rate of the Reference signal
 The channel will be automatically forced into Delay mode.
Mode as Frame Sync: Delay Rate Mismatch.
Frame Sync: Delay Mode

Note: In ‘Delay’ mode, only a restricted set of processing features can be applied to an SDI
channel.
316 Chapter 4
Output Modules
When operating the Frame Sync in Delay mode, the audio embedders are automatically
turned off. Any ancillary data will be passed unprocessed (aside from any video delay).
If the input video frame rate does not match the genlock frame rate for a channel, that
channel is automatically placed into Delay Mode. This information is reflected in the Frame
Sync Status parameter (see Frame Sync / Mux Status (1-8)).
 An SDI channel can be forced into Delay mode operation by setting it to Frame Sync:
Delay Mode.
 Channels set to Frame Sync: Delay Mode will be reported as Frame Sync: Delay Forced
by the Frame Sync / Mux Status menu.
Bypass Mode
In Bypass mode, the SDI channel will bypass all processing stages, including TSG operation.
 No Framesync operation and no Audio muxing takes place when operating a channel in
Bypass mode.
 The Frame Sync / Mux Status menu reports channel forced to operate in Bypass
mode as Bypass.
Features
Key processing features for each channel are:
 Video Frame Synchronizer and Delay

 SMPTE 352M Video Payload: Detection, Insertion
 Simple Test Signal Generator
 Audio De-Embedder: 4 groups, 4 mono channels per group
 Audio Sample Rate Conversion (SRC) after de-embedding (PCM data only)
 Audio Synchronizer and Delay (arbitrary Audio delay for PCM data only)
 Audio Test Tone Generator
 Audio ProcAmp: Gain, Mute, Invert, Sum, Swap
 Audio Embedder with Append/Overwrite mode
 Supports mix of embedded PCM and non-PCM (Dolby-E/D) data
Note: The availability of some features depends on the Framesync license. Refer Table 4-47
for details.

Audio Processing
The PT-HSRMX8C/8O-OBG output card is equipped with an Audio TDM Receiver that
supports a TDM data rate of 344 Mb/s and 128 channels of TDMed audio.
The following audio functionality is supported per SDI channel
 De-embedding 4 groups (16 mono channels) of Audio prior to the Frame/Audio

Synchronizer
 Sample Rate Conversion (with bypass capability on a per stereo-pair basis) - Embedded
Audio only
 Audio Synchronizer - Embedded Audio only
 Audio Delay (> 3000ms / mono channel)
 Audio Proc (Gain, Mute, Invert)
 Audio Sum (on a per mono-channel basis, but based on a predefined list of Sums)
 Audio Swap (on a per mono-channel basis, but based on a predefined list of Swaps)
 Audio Test Tone Generator (Off, 400Hz, 2kHz, 4kHz)
 Dolby-E Header alignment (for Dolby-E data received via TDM only)
 Embedding 4 groups (16 mono channels) of Audio after the Frame/Audio Synchronizer.
 Automatic Audio selection from video source (embedded audio) or associated 16
channels of Audio received via TDM.
 TDM Audio channels if present (i.e. routed from the Audio crosspoint) take precedence
over channels de-embedded from the video source.
318 Chapter 4
Output Modules
 Fixed mapping of Audio channels received via TDM and the eight SDI streams
(e.g. TDM1-16 -> SDI1, TDM17-32 -> SD).
Notes
 For De-embedding, audio must be embedded synchronously at a sample rate of 48kHz.
 Embedded Dolby-E frames must be properly aligned with the Video frame in order to
be transferred from the Frame Synchronizer’s input clock domain into the output clock
domain. Proper alignment (position of guard-band) is important since Dolby-E frames
can be dropped or repeated alongside the active video content.
 All Audio channels received from the Audio crosspoint via TDM are assumed to have a
48kHz sample rate and locked to the same Video reference applied to the board.
 Automatic Dolby-E header alignment supported for Dolby-E data received via TDM,
where Audio data (PCM or non-PCM) is expected to be already synchronous to the
reference applied to the board. When receiving Dolby-E data via TDM, alignment with
the actual Video data is unknown and it is therefore important to have the Dolby- E
data automatically re-aligned prior to muxing it back into the SDI stream.
 Sample Rate Conversion can only be applied to de-embedded Audio data, but not to
TDM Audio data. The downstream clock for the SRCs will be locked to the applied
Video reference. Non-PCM Audio data (such as Dolby-E/D) cannot be sample rate
converted, and is transferred from the input clock domain to the output clock domain
by dropping or repeating a full frame of non-PCM data, every time the Video Frame
Synchronizer reaches its roll-over point.
Video Processing
 SD-SDI (270Mb/s) standards - 525, 625
 HD-SDI (1.5Gb/s) standards - 720p50, 720p59, 720p60, 1080i50, 1080i59.94,
1080i60, 1080psF24, 1080psF23, 1080psf25, 1080psf29, 1080psf30
 HD-SDI (3Gb/s) standards – SMPTE425 Level A, SMPTE 372M Dual Link
 Framesync mode or Delay mode
 Freeze modes: Frame, Field1, Field2
 High noise immunity (TRS error resilience) and glitchless processing (fast switching
without freeze) of input feeds, that were asynchronously switched on the
recommended switching point (as defined in SMPTE RP168)
 Video Frame Synchronizer with H,V Phase control and fixed frame delay on top of
variable delay
 Video Frame Delay: up to 16 Frames (all standards)
 SMPTE 352M Video Payload: Detection, Insertion (HD and 3G only)
 Simple Test Signal Generator: 75% Color Bars, 100% Color Bars, SDI Pathologicals
Notes
 VANC/HANC data other than embedded Audio is not processed. Closed Captioning
data, Teletext data or SMPTE 12M Timecode (LTC, VITC), for instance, will be dropped
or repeated together with the active video content, every time the Frame Synchronizer
drops or repeats a frame.
 For channels operating in Delay mode, all VANC/HANC data (including embedded
Audio) is passed through the delay memory unprocessed. Ancillary data remains
untouched. The absolute delay from In to Out can be changed arbitrarily within the
predefined limits (e.g. from 3us up to 16 frames + 3us).
 Support for SMPTE 372M Dual-Link formats, with 16 (mono) channels of Audio
processed. Processed Video/Audio data exits the board as a single 3Gb/s stream.
 Non-PCM Audio data (Dolby-E or Dolby-D) is not processed by the Audio Synchronizer /
Audio Delay / Audio ProcAmp processing blocks. It is passed alongside the active video
content through the Video Frame Synchronizer memory and a frame's worth of
non-PCM data is dropped or repeated - together with the active video content every
time the Video Frame Synchronizer drops or repeats a frame.
Support for Quiet Audio Switching

Switching between two sources of the same data- and frame-rate in the serial domain, e.g.
on a router’s crosspoint board, can cause momentary discontinuities in the SDI stream. It
doesn’t matter whether the two sources are asynchronous or not, a temporary glitch in the
resulting SDI stream can cause downstream equipment to generate an erroneous output.
The PT-HSRMXxx-OBG can absorb such glitches and will provide not only a continuous and
uninterrupted stream of video, it will also handle the transitioning of embedded Audio from
one source to another in a ‘quiet’ manner.
In order to accomplish that, the following conditions must be met:
1 The two video sources, that get switched upstream, must be of the same data- and
frame-rate. They can be asynchronous with respect to each other and with respect to the
reference signal, that is applied to the board.
2 The channel that is supposed to produce a clean and quiet output must be operated in
Frame Sync mode (Frame Sync license is required).
3 ADS Clean must be turned on.
Note: ADS Clean ON will wipe out any embedded non-PCM audio data, such as Dolby-E. If
a quiet audio transition between two sources, which contain a mix of PCM and non-PCM
audio data, is desired, it is recommended to bring in the non-PCM data via TDM.

Word Length Parameter

The Word Length parameter can be set through the Audio section of the GUI to 16,
20, or 25 bits on a per SDI channel basis. 20 bits is the default and is applicable when
the video standard is SD SDI (525/625).
If the SD SDI Video has extended Audio packets (which can apply to any of up to four
groups of embedded Audio), Audio data embedded in such group(s) should have a
word length of 24 bits. When the processed audio data word length is 20 bits
(determined by parameter ‘Word Length' parameter), the Audio Embedder cannot
overwrite existing extended Audio packets. There are 2 options in this case:
 Turn on ADS Clean (See ADS Clean (1-8)) prior to re-embedding new Audio data,
to wipe out any existing Audio packets (regular and extended).
 Set the Word Length parameter for the SDI channel in question to match the
word length of the Audio data embedded in the incoming SDI stream.
The Word Length bits for processed Audio data are not auto-detected (based on the
detected word length of the embedded Audio data) and set. This is to allow the
flexibility for users to steer the word length of the re-embedded Audio data such that it
matches the word length of Audio data that originates from a different source (for
example, Audio received via TDM).
Fast Video Switch

When input video is switched between two sources while both sources are within
vertical blanking, use the Fast Switch parameter to enable fast video switching
between the sources. In this mode, output video is not frozen when both sources are
within the vertical blanking area when the switch takes place.
TSG Operation
If the boards boots up with no active (and valid) SDI signal(s) presented to its input(s)
(i.e. nothing is routed from the wide-band crosspoint), enabling the TSG will not
produce an output when the TSG Standard parameter it set to Follow Rx, which is
the default setting. This is the expected behavior. Under such operating conditions, the
user has to manually select the desired Video Output Standard for the TSG (e.g.
1080i59).
Once an active and valid SDI signal has been applied, the TSG will automatically follow
the detected input standard. The SDI signal can now be removed, the TSG however will
continue working in the same standard that was detected before, provided that the
TSG Standard parameter remains set to Follow Rx.
Group DeEmbed Control (1-8)

The following are options for the Group (1–8) Deembedding Control parameter.
Table 4-48 Deembedding Control Options

Item Description
Repeat Upon detection of a de-embedding error, the de-embedder
repeats the last good AES sample.
Mute Upon detection of a de-embedding error, the de-embedder
mutes the current outgoing AES sample.
Audio Embedding Modes

Each video channel has an audio embedder component composed of several smaller
subcomponent blocks:
 One ancillary data stripper (ADS)
 Four audio embedding subcomponents
The first subcomponent is an ancillary data stripper (ADS). This block removes all
ancillary data packets in the input SDI stream, prior to embedding. Following the ADS
block are four separate audio-embedding subcomponents. Each subcomponent has the
ability to operate on only one audio group, either appending or overwriting a
predetermined group onto the SDI stream.
The audio embedding modes are Audio Group (1–4) Embedding Mode parameters.
Table 4-49 briefly describes the Append, OverWrite, and Auto options available from
each of the embedding modes.
Table 4-49 Embedding Mode Options

Options Description
Append Attempts to insert the audio data and control packets immediately
following the last existing audio data/control packet in the horizontal
ancillary region (Append Embedding on page 331)
OverWrite Attempts to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of the
same group number with the new audio data (see Overwrite
Embedding on page 333)
Auto Attempts first to overwrite existing audio data and control packets of
the same audio group number; failing that, it appends the new audio
data and control packets immediately following the last existing audio
data/control packet (refer to the Audio Group (1–4) Exists parameters
to determine what audio groups are already present in the incoming SDI
signal)
Append Embedding
When you select Append embedding, the module attempts to insert the audio data
and control packets immediately following the last existing data/control packet in the
horizontal ancillary data space (ADS). Append embedding is only valid if the audio
group to be embedded does not already exist.
Figure 4-52 shows how append embedding will appear in the ancillary data space
when there is no previous audio or other data.

Overwrite Embedding
When you select Overwrite embedding, the module attempts to overwrite any existing
audio data and control packets of the same group number with the new audio data.
This setting is valid only if the audio group to be embedded already exists. If the new
sample distribution does not exactly match the existing audio data packet sample
distribution, the embedder will mark some audio data packets for deletion (DID word
will be set to 180h).When you attempt Overwrite embedding and there is no previous
audio (as in Figure 4-58), no audio is embedded because there is nothing to overwrite.

Audio Synchronization
By default, PT-HSRMX8C-OBG and PT-HSRMX8O-OBG synchronize de-embedded audio
with timing information from the video frame synchronizer prior to re-embedding
audio. When Audio Ch Pair Delay Track (1-8) is set to sync tracking, the audio will be
automatically delayed to match the video delay. Additionally, up to three seconds of
delay can be added through the Audio Channel Delay (1-8) parameter.
Video Frame Synchronization

The Frame synchronizer offers two modes: Delay mode and Synchronizer (Sync)
mode. These modes can be chosen using the Frame Sync / Mux Mode (1-8)
parameter.
 In Delay mode, the output video is synchronized to the input video.

 In Sync mode, the output video is synchronized to the reference video. The
reference standard you can use depends on the output video standard set.

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.
 The green LED labelled “POWER” is the power supply indicator. It shows that +24V is
 The LED labelled “ACT CTRL” is the control system acknowledgment. The LED shows a
 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.

PT-ATDM64-X28 Module
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. With the exception
of PM-ATDM9-X5, all TDM crosspoints require the PT-SYNC module to function correctly.
Platinum routers support all types of audio including Dolby E and AC3. Since processing
functionality such as quiet switching and gain controls can cause data corruption with
non-PCM audio, Platinum routers support a pass-through mode for these non-PCM
sources.
When incoming audio is embedded within a video source, that audio is passed through the
wideband crosspoint without any processing. The embedded audio, and all ancillary data, is
presented at the output exactly as it entered the router.
When using the Mux/Demux technology within the router, the audio package is analyzed as
it is demultiplexed. When the system identifies a non-PCM audio source, all processing
functionality is disabled. This allows the non-PCM audio data to pass through the router
without being corrupted.
The quiet switch capability of the TDM Crosspoint within Platinum routers is active as a
default. Since the quiet switch capability can cause corruption for non-PCM audio at the
switchpoint, the capability can be turned off for each output of the router. This setting is
accomplished through the database editor within Navigator.
See page 50 for a description of the sync module operation.
The advanced TDM crosspoint module is available in the following sizes:
 PM-ATDM9-X5
The PM-ATDM9-X5 crosspoint 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.

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
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.
Installation All crosspoint modules are installed at our manufacturing facility. See Installing Crosspoint
Modules on page 371 for the procedure for field expansion of crosspoint modules. If you
need to purchase additional components, please contact your dealer or our Sales
Department.
This module has no controllable parameters.

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

364 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 457 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.
Special Pre-Installation Information for Upgrading 3 Gb Input,

Output, and Crosspoint Module Firmware
If your 3 Gb modules were installed at the manufacturing facility you do not need to
perform this step.

Installing Crosspoint Modules
Module Placement
On 5RU, 9RU, and 15RU frames with one crosspoint module (no redundant module) the
crosspoint module can be inserted into either slot 1 or slot 2.
See Figure 1-2 on page 4 for the location of slots 1 and 2 for 9RU frames. See Figure 1-3
on page 5 for the location of slots 1 and 2 for 15RU frames.
On 5RU, 9RU, and 15RU frames with one crosspoint module and one redundant module,
the primary module should be inserted into slot 1 and the redundant module should be
inserted into slot 2.
On 15RU frames with two crosspoint modules and two redundant modules, the first
primary module should be inserted into slot 1, the first redundant module should be
inserted into slot 2, the second primary module should be inserted into slot 3, and the
second redundant module should be inserted into slot 4. See Table 7-1 for information on
which inputs and outspeaks are controlled by which crosspoint module location/slot. See
Figure 1-3 on page 5 for an illustration of the location of slots 1 through 4 for 15RU
frames.
Table 7-1 Crosspoint Input/Output Control for 15RU Frames

Installation procedures are the same for all Platinum crosspoint modules.
To install a Platinum module, follow these steps:

1 Make sure that the I/O Guide doors are fastened shut.
2 From the front of the frame, insert the module into the desired vertical slot; be very careful
to align the module in the guide notches on the frame.
 If you insert a crosspoint module into the right vertical slot (that is, slots 1, 3, 5, and 7),
make sure the top of the module faces toward the frame’s input modules (see
Figure 7-7).
Figure 7-7 Crosspoint Module Orientation for Right Vertical Slot
 If you insert a crosspoint module into the left vertical slot (that is, slots 2, 4, 6, and 8),
make sure the top of the module faces toward the frame’s output modules
3 Slide the module into the frame until it is flush with the module guide edge and the
extractor lever closes.
You may have some resistance from the module’s inserter/extractor lever bumping up
against the frame. If so, fully extend the extractor lever and guide the module into place.
Specialized Installation and Removal Procedures for PT-HS1310S-IB,

PT-HSRO-OBG+, and PT-HSR1310S-OB Fiber Optical Modules
Installing Modules
PT-HS1310S-IB modules are inserted into the slots on the right side of the frame only.
PT-HSRO-OBG+ and PT-HSR1310S-OB modules are inserted into the slots on the left side of
the frame only.
PT-HS1310S-IB, PT-HSRO-OBG+, and PT-HSR1310S-OB fiber optical modules have plastic

caps that protect the fragile laser connections from damage. You must remove these
protective covers before you install the back and front modules (see Figure 7-8 on
page 373).
Figure 7-8 on page 373 shows a typical fiber optical module. Your module’s appearance
may differ slightly from the one shown; however, the protective covers are positioned
identically and must be removed according to the instructions provided. The installation
instructions that follow will prompt you as to when you should remove the protective
covers.
In addition, all fiber optic connections must be inspected and cleaned before they are
assembled. Carefully follow the inspection and cleaning steps described in the next pages.
Additional safety information begins on Laser Safety Guidelines on page 465.
CAUTION: Ensure that you remove the fiber optic protective covers from the front
and back modules before installation. Take care to avoid touching the fiber optic

Inspecting and Cleaning Fibers

1 Ensure the fiber is not “live.”
WARNING: Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope,

magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at an energized fiber end.
2 Inspect the fiber endface with a fiberscope.

3 If the fiber endface is clean, return to the installation instructions on page 374 for back
modules or page 374 for front modules.
If the connector is dirty, proceed to the dry cleaning instructions below.
Dry Cleaning
If you are using cartridge or pocket-style dry cleaning tools, follow the
manufacturer’s directions. If you are using lint-free wipes, follow these steps:
1 Fold the lint-free wipe four to eight times into a square, taking care to avoid touching the
cleaning surface of the wipe.
2 Lightly wipe the fiber tip in the central portion of the lint-free wipe.
CAUTION: Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
3 Repeat the wiping action on another clean section of the wipe or a new wipe.
4 Inspect the connector again with the fiberscope.
5 If the connection is clean, return to the installation steps on page 374 for back modules, or
page 374 for front modules.
If the connector is still dirty, proceed to the wet cleaning instructions.
Wet Cleaning
Using 99% isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes, follow these steps to wet clean
the fiber:
1 Fold the wipe into a square, about 4 to 8 layers thick.
2 Moisten one section of the lint-free wipe with one drop of 99% alcohol, ensuring that a
portion of the wipe remains dry.
3 Lightly wipe the fiber end in the alcohol-moistened portion of the lint-free wipe.
4 Immediately repeat the wiping action on the dry section of the wipe, removing any residual
alcohol.
5 Inspect the fiber endface again, and if necessary, repeat the wet cleaning with another
clean section of the lint-free wipe.
CAUTION: Do not scrub the fiber. Excessive rubbing will leave scratches.
6 Dry clean any remaining residue, and then inspect the connector again.
7 If the contamination persists, repeat the dry and wet cleaning procedure until the endface is
clean.
If the fiber end still remains dirty after repeated cleaning attempts, call Customer Service for
further instructions.

careful to align the module in the guide notches on the frame (Figure 7-5) and on the
guide door (Figure 7-6).
3 Make sure that the module is fully seated, and the inserter/extractor lever is fully seated.
Replacing Resource Module Firmware

Periodically you may need to replace or update the resource module firmware versions
available for PT-RES modules. You will need RouterMapper, RouterWorks, and a terminal
emulation package such as HyperTerminal to successfully perform these tasks.
Use Cases The following use cases describe different scenarios that require different procedures for
completion of firmware and module replacements. Review the scenarios that appear at the
beginning of each procedure to see what steps you need to take to perform module
replacement properly and completely.
The following sections presuppose that you have a working knowledge of Navigator or
RouterMapper, and RouterWorks, and have used their other capabilities. If not, please refer
to the appropriate software application user manual to familiarize yourself with their
functions before you continue the firmware replacement process.
Scenario 1: Platinum router contains one resource module; two modules (one
PFM64 flash module and one MRAM module) received.
1 Back up the Navigator or RouterMapper database, and then back up current crosspoints to
a RouterWorks salvo.
2 Using the Platinum Firmware tab in Navigator or RouterMapper, upgrade the existing
resource module to the same resource module version1 as the new flash and MRAM
modules.
3 After the upgrade is complete, execute the salvo via a serial cable (or open Navigator or
RouterWorks, and then verify that the salvo is active).
4 Remove the existing resource module from the Platinum frame.
Insert the PFM64 flash module (with its module identifier facing down) into the SU2 slot on
the resource module.

Installing Power Supplies

One power supply module is included as standard equipment in the PM-FR-5 and PM-FR-9
Platinum frames; two power supply modules are included as standard equipment in the
PT-FR-15 Platinum frames; four power supply modules are included as standard equipment
in the PT-FR-28 Platinum frames. Adding more power supply modules provides redundancy.
No configuration settings are needed for the power supply module(s). See Installing a
Platinum Frame on page 390 for information concerning the appropriate power cords to
use for AC and DC power supplies.
To install a power supply, follow these steps:

1 Slide the power supply into the appropriate opening in the frame. (You may feel some
resistance as the module engages the mating connector; this is normal.) Ensure that the
module is fully seated in the slot.
2 Push the ON/OFF button to the ON position. The power supply voltage and fan display
lights will illuminate.
3 If you want to lock the power supply in place, push the lock screw to the left, then tighten
the lock screw.

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.
To replace a fan, follow these steps:

1 Remove the fan cover panel to allow clear access to the fan unit requiring replacement.
2 Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the four fan mounting screws of fan requiring
replacement. Put the mounting screws aside, as you will need them to properly install the
replacement fan.

the old fan.
Figure 7-17 Reattaching Fan Mounting Screws
9 Replace the fan cover panel.

10 If desired, adjust the fan noise settings. On PM-FAN-5 modules, fan noise settings are
adjusted via the PM-ALARM-5 module. (See Controlling Fan Speed on page 31 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.)

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 -60 VDC should be connected using
cables no smaller than 12 gauge with ring terminals attached to the terminal blocks.
DC Platinum frames should be grounded using eight-gauge stranded copper wire

crimped to the dual lug compression terminal provided on the frame.
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 (75) 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
 No switching possible while PT-RES is removed, unless you have a redundant PT-RES
installed
 Flash Module Upgrade Procedure
 Attach anti-static strap
 Remove PT-RES module
 Remove flash module from PT-RES and replace with new flash
 Reinstall PT-RES

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 Navigator or RouterMapper configuration utility software. The following topics are
covered in this chapter:
 Card-Edge Controls on page 394

 Frame Controllable Parameters on page 396
 Configuring via Navigator or RouterMapper on page 400
 Configuring Sync Reference Switch Points on page 406
 Configuring TDM Audio Matrices on page 413
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.
394 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.
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 396.

 Platinum application parameters are listed on page 397.
 Platinum fail-safe parameters are listed on page 397.
 Parameters lists for each individual module are listed with the module’s detailed
description.
Navigating the Parameters List

Note: If you do not want to make changes to your settings, return to the previously
selected item in the list, and then press Escape to move up a level.
To navigate, and then view or change a parameter, follow these steps:

1 Open the front panel of the frame.
2 Press any card-edge control button or the toggle switch to turn on the VFD display. The
module name will appear as the banner on the card-edge display screen.
396 Chapter 8
Configuration
3 Press Select.
The first two items in the Level One list appear.
4 Click Nav- (down) on the Nav-/Nav+ switch to view more items in the list.
5 Choose the desired item in the list, then press Select.
The Level Two list will appear.
6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 to view more items in Levels Two, Three, and Four.
7 If the parameter is numeric, slide the bar to the desired parameter using the Nav+/Nav-
switch; or, choose the desired item in the Level Four list, and then press Select.
8 Once you have set or viewed the parameter, you can leave it in its current state or return to
the card-edge display banner.
To return to the card-edge display banner, repeatedly press Escape.
9 Close the front panel of the frame to ensure the cooling system continues to operate
properly.
Frame Controllable Parameters

The card-edge controllable parameters listed below are specific to a Platinum frame. Frame

Configuring via Navigator or RouterMapper

Note: This section presupposes that you have a working knowledge of Navigator or
RouterMapper configuration utility and have used the software’s other capabilities. If not,
please refer to the pertinent software application user manual 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 configuration utility 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, please refer to the pertinent configuration utility software application user manual.
You can download a copy of the most current edition from our website.
To add a Platinum router, you must use Navigator version 4.5 or higher, or RouterMapper
v.6.01 or higher (v.6.03 or higher to add Platinum with CENTRIO).
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.
Adding Platinum Frames by Discovering

The Discovery option is a quick way to allow the configuration utility software 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.
Adding Platinum Frames using the Create or Add Command

An alternative to polling the system for, or discovering, devices is to create the device
definitions via Navigator’s Create or 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.
Frame Application Parameters Available Through Navigator or RouterMapper

Whenever a system poll is initiated, Navigator or 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.

Configuring Sync Reference Switch Points

Platinum frame switch point configuration is one of the easiest and most flexible found in
the industry. It can be plug-and-play or provide granular adjustments to meet the most
complex requirements.
In most configurations, the default settings do not require any additional setup. For more
complex systems, there are two main steps to configure the correct switch point for the
signals being routed:
1 Configure the switch timing for the sync inputs connected to the frame. Platinum supports
up to four sync inputs.
By default, the inputs are configured for Auto mode and base switch timing on the
reference inputs per SMPTE RP-168. See page 406 for more information on switch modes.
2 Assign output modules to one of the four switch configurations (Platinum automatically
defaults all outputs to use Sync Input 1).
The explanation below is for informational purposes. It does not provide details of the steps
involved in setting up sync references. You can configure the Platinum sync via Navigator or
RouterMapper.
Sync Reference Switch Modes

Three modes are available for configuring each sync reference switch point (up to four
supported in Platinum: Auto Mode (default), Standard Mode, and Advanced Mode.
Auto Mode
Auto Mode is the default setting for all switch point configurations within Platinum (up to
four, associated with the four reference inputs). When in Auto Mode, the outputs assigned
to that Sync will switch relative to what reference is detected on the Sync Input.
For example, if NTSC ‘House Black’ is detected on Sync Input 1, the switch point will be line
10 relative to the reference (per SMPTE RP-168).
Auto Mode is the desired mode for all configurations where the signals being routed are
based on the same timing as the reference signal and the user wants to switch per SMPTE
RP-168 (this is the majority of use cases).
Standard Mode
Standard Mode allows you to use a different sync reference than the signals being routed
and still switch in the correct place relative to the routed signals (as long as the reference
and signals are based on the same timing).
This selection requires you to configure the switch point for one of the sync reference inputs
by choosing an I/O type from the drop-down list box (see Figure 8-2). The system then
calculates the proper timing for the switch point by using a look-up between the detected
reference signal on the selected sync reference input and the signal type selected from the
drop-down list box.
Figure 8-2 Standard Mode Signal Type Selection
Standard Mode is mostly used when using a single reference for switching different signals
within the frame. A common example is when switching both standard SD and HD formats
based on the same sync input. This feature allows Platinum not to require a Tri-Level HD
reference to switch at the correct place within the signal even when using a standard
‘House Black’ reference.
Example Configuration
House Black NTSC Reference when switching both SD (NTSC) and HD (1080i 59.9) signals.
1 Attach House Black sync reference to both sync 1 and sync 2 inputs on the back of the
frame.
2 In Navigator or RouterMapper, navigate to the Platinum Control Settings tab, and then click
the Change Sync Settings Sync... button.
The Configure I/O Sync dialog box opens.
3 Set Sync 1 switch configuration to Auto (should be configured already by default).
408 Chapter 8
Configuration
Figure 8-3 Step 3: Sync 1 Switch Configuration to Auto Mode
4 Set Sync 2 switch configuration to Standard, and then select 1920x1080/59.94I from the
I/O Type drop-down list box.
Figure 8-4 Step 4: Sync 2 Switch Configuration to Standard Mode
5 Switch to the Platinum Configured Matrices tab, and then configure each HD output
module to use Sync 2 for proper switch point timing.
Figure 8-5 Step 5: Configure HD Output Module

Advanced Mode
Advanced Mode allows you to configure a Platinum router to switch at any point relative to
the detected reference signal’s sync pulse in microsecond delay increments. Use this
configuration primarily with a non-standard reference, or when you choose not to follow
SMPTE RP-168 switching guidelines.
On Platinum systems with resource module version 3.9 or lower, the use of Advanced mode
is required to meet the SMPTE RP-168 specifications for switch points in which the sync
reference is not the same standard as the signal type.
Some formats (for example, 1080i/50) do not switch at the correct line using Auto Mode.
Using the Advanced Mode setup can address these issues as well.
Resolution
Note: Navigator version 4.5 or RouterMapper version 6.12 is required for proper Advanced
Mode operation.
Advanced Mode allows you to configure the Platinum to switch at the right line within the
video signal.
For delay values for standard video timing, refer to the values provided in Table 8-5,
Table 8-6, and Table 8-7. The bright green blocks indicate the reference type connected to
the sync input and the light green blocks indicate the signal type. Gray blocks are not

Configuring TDM Audio Matrices

Adding a TDM matrix to a Platinum or Platinum MX router provides you with an incredibly
powerful way to switch audio. Because there are several different implementations of audio
routing within facilities, configuring an audio matrix will depend on several factors.
Therefore, this section highlights the different use cases that a customer may have and gives
step by step instruction on how to configure a TDM matrix for a Platinum or Platinum MX
routing system.
Routing Configuration (Analog Stereo/AES/Multiplex)
 Adding a TDM Matrix to the Database

 Configuring Outputs for Audio Partitions
 Editing the Logical Database
Adding a TDM Matrix to the Database

1 To determine the total number of (Stereo/AES/Multiplex) inputs required in your router, add
up the total number of (Stereo/AES/Multiplex) outputs on all devices and equipment you
will have feeding signals into the router.
Note: If you have devices or equipment with other types of audio signals, please add them
to your system separately.
2 To determine the total number of (Stereo/AES/Multiplex) outputs required in your router

add up the total number of (Stereo/AES/Multiplex) inputs on all devices and equipment the
router will be feeding signals to.

9 If you have configured another matrix in the frame already (such as video), decide whether
you would like to leave built-in expansion slots for that matrix before starting the audio
matrix in the next available slot (default selection; see step 10 for an explanation for Auto).
If you would like to leave room for expansion, edit the starting slot number for your audio
matrix to leave the appropriate room for expansion (see step 10 for an explanation for
Manual).

Once you click OK at the Add TDM Matrix window, if your system has devices that have
more than one stereo pair, you will need to configure the size of the outputs for each of the
audio partitions.
To do this, follow these steps.

1 Determine the number of audio inputs for each device that is being fed with a router
output, and then group the devices based on number of audio inputs. (Example: You have
30 devices with (2) stereo pairs of audio, 80 devices with 1 stereo pair, and 18 devices with
a single mono input.
2 Highlight the desired matrix, then click the Advanced button on the Configured Matrix
window.

3 Select the Physical Output View tab. You will see that the system by default has divided
your outputs into four equal partitions. Each colored circle represents a single mono
channel of audio. In this example, the maximum number of AES streams / stereo audio
channels in any device being fed from the router was two).

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 9-1 on page 434 through Figure 9-4 on page 437 are block diagrams of the overall
output monitoring architecture for the different frame sizes.

Figure 9-5 Basic Signal Flow for the Platinum Output Monitoring Module
PT-HSR-OM: HD/SD Output Monitoring Module
Operation
Figure 9-6 PT-HSR-OM 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).
If you are monitoring an output of a power-saving output module and there is no

termination on that output, the output will not be displayed on the output of the
PT-HSR-OM. You must either terminate the output on the output module or turn off its
Green Mode parameter.
440 Chapter 9
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-HS-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.
The PT-HSR-OM does not monitor output from TDM modules.

Operation
Side View Front View
Figure 9-7 PT-HSRAEC-OM Module
The PT-HSRAEC-OM is a 3G-SDI/HD-SDI/SD-SDI output monitoring module for the Platinum

Frame. The module is designed to provide an output interface to monitor an output stream
or preview an input stream as selected by the control system.
The PT-HSRAEC-OM occupies control slots 6 through 9 at the rear of the Platinum Frame
(when PX-RES is used in Platinum) and control slots 8 through11 (when PT-RES is used in
Platinum). You can have up to 4 output monitoring modules.
The PT-HSRAEC-OM provides one SMPTE-SDI video input for cascade monitoring. (Its main
use is to monitor channels from another router, but it is equipped with cable EQ so it can
accept SMPTE-SDI compliant inputs from other devices as well for fan-out or monitoring.)
The PT-HSRAEC-OM has BNC ports for external interconnect, video in, and video out. Using
the VIDEO IN BNC connector, the PT-HSRAEC-OM selects between the internal and
external video sources.
The video streams connect to this module through a board edge connector at the MI
module. Internal video sources include the following:
444 Chapter 9
 Video selected from input 1-128, or output 1-128

(Applies to PT-RES in 5/9/15/28 RU Platinum frames and PX-RES in a 9/15 RU Platinum
frames)
(Applies to PT-RES in 5/9/15/28 RU Platinum frames and PX-RES in 9/15 RU Platinum
frames)
(Applies to PT-RES in 28 RU Platinum frames)
(Applies to PT-RES in 28 RU Platinum frames)
External video sources include video from another frame.The external input is coupled to
this module through a rear BNC connector. It allows for monitoring of other SDI signals.
Using the VIDEO OUT BNC connector, the selected signal is sent to the re-clocking section.
The reclocking circuit retimes the data stream and removes jitter from the stream. Some
signal stream parameters (such as data bit rate, re-lockability, 3G/HD/SD, bypassing, etc) are
checked and reported. The signal from the reclocking stage is coupled to the output driver.
The output is in-polarity with the input data.
Various LEDs report status on the PT-HSRAEC-OM as follows
Table 9-4 PT-HSRAEC-OM LEDs and Descriptions

LED Color Meaning
CTRL Green/Red Control system acknowledgment
EXT IN Green External video input presence
LOCK Green Reclocked
PWR Green Power supply input
Notes
 PT-HSRAEC-OM modules have 1 monitoring port per slot
 Each PT-HSRAEC-OM module can only monitor one output at a time from an
output card on the same router
Monitoring
The PT-HSRAEC-OM uses these two classification categories: real output monitoring and
virtual output monitoring.
Real Output Monitoring

With real output monitoring, the output is routed after the final active stage of the video
channel. This type of monitoring provides the highest level of confidence possible that the
signal seen at the monitoring point is the same signal that will be seen “on-air.”
Note: If you are monitoring an output of a power-saving output module and there is no
termination on that output, the output will not be displayed on the output of the
PT-HSRAEC-OM. You must either terminate the output on the output module or turn off its
Green Mode parameter.
Virtual Output Monitoring

Not all types of output modules are able to provide a digital output signal for monitoring
use at its final stage. For example, some types of output modules have analog outputs
which can not be handled directly by the main crosspoint. In this situation, the Platinum
control system checks which input signal has been switched to the output destination
needed for monitoring. Then, this input is sent to the PT-HSRAEC-OM module for
monitoring purposes. Physically, this input signal is routed out two paths of the main
crosspoint.
Note: PT-HSRAEC-OM does not monitor output from TDM modules. Non TDM audio
modules can be monitored, for example, PM-AEB-OB/PT-AEB-OB, PM-AEC-OB/ PT-AEC-OB,
PM-DAC-OB/PT-DAC-O output modules. This applies in a PT-RES system. PX-RES does not
support these modules.
Installation All output monitoring modules are installed at our manufacturing facility. See Installing
Configuration This section applies if the Platinum Frame (that your PT-HSRAEC-OM module is in) is
controlled by a PX-RES Resource Module. In which case, you can configure the module
using the IP3 Controller web interface invoked from within Magellan CCS Navigator.
Note: If your Platinum frame is controlled by a PT-RES Resource Module, you will need to
configure output monitoring using Magellan CCS Navigator. Refer to the Magellan CCS
Navigator user manual, Volume 6 Routing Components, Select Matrix Monitoring.
The following is an example that describes how to:
1 Configure Output Monitoring Destinations

10 Terminal Operation
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 453.
Establishing Terminal Operations 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

Terminal Operation Sessions for Serial Control Interface Products on page 452.
 For a standalone or network system with Ethernet connections, see Establishing
Telnet Sessions for Ethernet Control Interface Products on page 452.
452 Chapter 10
Terminal Operation

 1
 No flow-control
2 Connect a null modem serial cable from a PC serial port to the serial port on the back of the
Platinum frame.
3 Connect the X-Y to the router network.
CAUTION: Make sure the X-Y network is terminated appropriately.
4 Start up both PC and terminal emulation application.

5 Apply power to the Platinum frame.
6 At the host machine keyboard, enter the letter “Q.” The Command Summary screen should
appear on the PC screen.
Establishing Telnet Sessions for Ethernet Control Interface Products

Follow these steps to establish a Telnet session to the Platinum frame if the Telnet
application is resident on a PC:
1 Connect an Ethernet crossover cable between the 10Base-T connector on a PC to the
10Base-T connector on the Platinum frame.
2 Change the IP address of your PC to a static IP address compatible with the Platinum IP
address.
Invoking Telnet commands requires a valid username and password. The default username
is leitch and the default password is leitchadmin.
3 At a DOS prompt, enter the word “telnet” and the IP address of the Platinum frame (for
example, telnet 100.200.50.10).
4 Press <Enter>.
The Telnet screen will appear.
5 Enter your login, and then press <Enter>.
6 Enter your password, and then press <Enter>.

B 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.
466 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.
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.
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.
468 Appendix B
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 Lasers in the U.S. or
outside the U.S., IEC-60825, Part 2.
