Exclusive Live Thumbnail Display

Now you can look at your source before you do a take. The exclusive real time thumbnail display in the Router Control Panel shows you the source before you take it to air.  In addition to video monitoring on the LCD, indicators for synchronicity and timing, audio and AFD provide confidence that a source is ready to use. Use the panel at your facility or use it remotely, thousands of
miles away.

Built-in Signal Diagnostics

Circuitry on the 9430 module detects and measures key parameters associated with each video source and makes these parameters available for display on both the hardware and software panels. Parameters include synchronicity and timing, line and frame rate, embedded audio presence/absence, closed caption information, and timecode data.

Clean and Quiet Switching – Done Right

The Clean Switch provides full frame synchronization so it can even switch cleanly between asynchronous sources. Use the control system to designate any SDI input or output to the clean switch. Each clean switch can be assigned to one or more output BNCs. Flawless audio sample rate conversion makes the output truly Clean and Silent.

Highly Flexible Matrix

Highly flexible matrix sizing lets you decide on your own configuration. The basic size is 8×2. You can add user-configurable input or output ports all the way up to 28×2 or 8×22 – and any sizes in between. The designs is future-proof, allowing the router to be easily reconfigured to a different matrix size.

Future-Proof Architecture

The Avenue router occupies from one to three slots in any Avenue 3RU frame. The router is comprised of three different modules: the 9430 8×2 router module, the 9435 clean switch sub module, and the 9440 ten port expansion module. Power, video reference, and an interface to the Avenue Control System is provided by the frame. Built-in black, bars and tone save router real-estate.

Unparalleled Flexibility

Most small routers have a fixed number of input and output ports. Often, they are not expandable, and if they are, a fixed block of inputs and outputs have to be added. This makes it very difficult to match the size of the router to the application at hand.

The unique architecture of the Avenue router makes it possible to custom tailor the input/output dimensions of the router to more closely match the requirements of a particular application. Symmetrical (square) as well as asymmetrical (rectangular) configurations are supported.

While the dimensions of the base 9430 router module are fixed at 8 inputs by 2 outputs, the 9440 module provides ten additional ports, all of which are individually user configurable as either inputs or outputs. Up to two 9440 expansion modules may be added to the base 9430 module. A 9430 plus a single 9440 supports a total of 11 different configurations ranging in size from 18×2 to 8×12. A 9430 plus two 9440 modules supports a total of 21 different configurations from 28×2 to 8×22.

This multi-format router supports any mix of HD, SD, 3G, ASI and 310M signals.
