Advanced Line of Routing Switchers for Larger Applications

Platinum Routing SwitchersThe Platinum™ line of routing switchers

combines a highly robust architecture with

the flexibility required to future-proof your

investment, delivering unsurpassed value

for your larger routing needs. Designed to

support high-quality routing for 24/7

operation, Platinum routing switchers are

well-suited to network, local broadcaster,

mobile production, cable, telco, military,

government and corporate applications —

any environment that requires routing of a

large number of signals.

The Platinum™ line provides

high-quality signal routing

up to 256x256 in 15RU and

512x512 in 28RU.

Supporting a mixture of

almost any type of signal

within the same frame (i.e.,

analog stereo audio, AES,

analog video, SDI, ASI, HD-

SDI, etc.), Platinum™

combines wide-bandwidth,

multi-rate routing with built-in

optional conversion of analog signals on

input and/or output modules. The built-in

conversion also enables the user to route

to/from one type of signal to another

without the addition of external processing.

Higher ReliabilityPlatinum routing frames are designed for

harsh operation (including mobile truck

environments), and feature front-loading,

hot-swappable modules for ease of

serviceability. Employing the latest

technology, Platinum™ allows more

functionality at lower power consumption,

and is supported by redundant, load-sharing

power supplies. Airflow is from front to back,

with each fan individually replaceable without

taking the system off-line.

For further reliability, Platinum™ I/O modules

support either eight inputs or eight outputs,

thereby limiting the number of signals

affected by any one module. With Platinum,™

complete signal paths can be made

redundant, and our software allows for

manual or automatic rerouting of signals in

the event of a failure. Each Platinum™ frame

supports redundant control and sync

modules. In addition, Platinum™ supports the

Leitch Command Control System (CCS™),

which is designed such that no external

controller is required, eliminating yet another

single point of failure in your system.

- Power supplies, resource modules, signal paths

Enhanced control and monitoring capabilities with support for

Leitch Command Control System™ (CCS™) - New desk and rack-mount hardware-based control panels

- Enhancements to award-winning CCS Navigator™ application

Secure access rights with restrictions by level, source and

destination CCS™ protocol, SNMP and third-party protocol support

Enhanced Control and MonitoringThe Platinum™ distributed control system is

unique in the industry in that it requires no

separate, centralized controller. Each

Platinum™ frame features redundant control

modules that store configuration information

related to that frame in non-volatile memory

and contain all the information that frame

needs to operate within a system. A

complete failure of both modules —or of the

complete frame — would only affect the

signals in that frame. The rest of the system

would continue to operate. In addition,

communications from control panels and

applications do not have to be brought to a

centralized controller, thereby enhancing the

ability to widely distribute systems and

removing another single point of failure.

Enhancements to traditional routing

control include secure access rights with

level, source and destination restrictions per

user; tie-line management; and timed

events, allowing distributed events to occur

simultaneously. Platinum™ offers native

support for all legacy Leitch router

protocols, CCS PROTOCOL (protocol

common to all Leitch processing product

lines) and SNMP. Drivers are also available

to interface to most common third-party

routers and/or control systems.

Platinum routing switchers are supported

by an extensive line of Leitch applications,

protocol interfaces and control panels,

including several new hardware-based

control panels applicable to control and

monitoring of routing, as well as other

product lines. In addition, the award-

winning CCS Navigator™ application, which

provides user-configurable GUIs applicable

to complete facility-wide control and

monitoring, has been extended with

several router-specific enhancements.

of the router into the matrices required by

the facility. It also offers software that

provides virtual crosspoint mapping for

improved input and output utilization,

crosspoint restrictions such as locks and

protects, uploadable drivers for diagnostics

and control of other vendors’ equipment,

and left/right audio channel reversal and

mixing for audio routing systems. All

configuration settings are stored in non-

volatile Flash Memory. Other options

available include dual outputs, output

monitoring, left/right swapping and

summing, and coax or fiber.

Designed for Control, Reliabilityand RedundancyOur distributed architecture removes single

points of failure and supports installations

across multiple locations. Plus, the Integrator®

offers optional, redundant, hot-swappable

power supplies and logic controller cards

and incorporated alarms for control, fans

and power supplies. These are provided via

contact closures on the rear of each unit, as

well as through our control system software

applications, which can be networked through

serial, coaxial and Ethernet direct to the frame

or through a wide range of control panels.

Key Benefits

Panacea™ Lite 1RU

Panacea Clean Switch provides two

continuous, error-free, clean outputs for HD-

SDI and SDI signals. Our unique data-buffering

scheme eliminates picture roll and encoder

“hiccups” by synchronizing the router sources.

This ensures the switch between sources is

frame-aligned without any disrution in the

output video signal stream.

Panacea Discrete Quiet Switch can be

combined in the same frame with Panacea

Clean Switch to provide two synchronous

and quiet digital audio streams. Again, a

data-buffering scheme is used to eliminate

pops, clicks and speaker “thud.” By frame-

aligning the switch and providing audio-level

ramping with a cross-fade mix, Panacea

Discrete Quiet Switch guarantees noise-free

switching between loud and soft audio

content. In addition, Panacea Discrete Quiet

Switch can be ordered in a standalone frame

to provide four synchronous and quiet digital

audio streams with the same ramping and

cross-fade features.

Panacea™ Clean and Quiet Switch

Two Clean and Quiet OutputsThe Panacea Clean/Quiet Switch provides two

clean and quiet outputs for SDI and HD-SDI

signals with embedded audio, along with

additional auxiliary buses to be used for utility

routing. This unique feature permits routing

of SDI and HD-SDI signals simultaneously in

an HD-SDI wideband version of the clean

switch, allowing full use of your clean switch

investment while transitioning from SDI to

HD-SDI. The two copies of both clean outputs

can be combined with flexible partitioning

options of the 16 inputs to fit any multi-

format application.

Auxiliary Output Busses Six auxiliary outputs are available for preview of

both clean outputs, as well as additional

outputs for secondary destinations.

Full, Embedded Audio Control In addition, embedded audio quiet

switching has been added to provide clean

and quiet switching. Full control of the

audio levels, audio fade options and

channel assignment is provided for

complete management of your embedded

audio content.

Transitions for Video and Embedded AudioA variety of video transitions with variable

transition rates are available including

dissolve, “V” fade, cut-fade, fade-cut and

cut. The fade rate of the transitions can be

configured for full customization (as either

fast or slow) and control panel access to

transition speed.

Panacea Clean and Quiet Switch is the industry’s most powerful dual-channel clean video with embedded audio

routing switcher — providing more features, functions and signal outputs than any similar product available today.

Distributed control maximizes reliability by avoidingthe single point of failure inherent to centralized controllers. Our unique, distributed control architecture requires no separate, centralized controller, as control resides within each Harris/Leitch router. With systems becoming more distributed, this approach not only eliminates the

Software Applications

Matrix Panel

Multi-Bus Panel

Single-Bus Panel

Suited to a wide variety of PC-based

control applications, the Windows®-based

RouterWorks® provides simple control and

monitoring of any size routing switcher.

RouterWorks® offers single-bus, multi-bus

and matrix views to combine the flexibility

of the most powerful hardware control

panel with the simplicity of a graphical user

interface. Wild database mapping allows

you to logically reassign crosspoints, freeing

you from the physical restraints of hardware

crosspoint matrices and levels.

Web Access — Browser ControlProvides secure access to router control and

status via any Internet-enabled device

through standard Web browsers (Internet

Explorer,™ Netscape™ and Mozilla™). Web

Access frees users from being “in the

office,” while freeing facilities from the need

to add external devices for remote control.

In addition to the single-bus or multi-bus GUI-

based control panel views, Web Access offers

panel configuration settings and terminal access

to status, configuration and alarm verification,

and secures user access control with defined

user and administrator access levels.

All switch commands are logged with time,

date and initiator notes, for offering cost-

effective system monitoring and cataloging.

Logging can be downloaded as a file or

viewed online.

RouterMapper® — FreeConfiguration SoftwareThe free RouterMapper® software provides

a graphical configuration utility for

configuring your routing system. Its easy-

to-use, drag-n-drop interface allows you to

partition your matrices, assign source and

destination names, and assign specific

functionality to buttons on your control

panels. RouterMapper® can also be used to

easily configure tie-lines between multiple

frames in a distributed routing environment.

CCS Navigator™ is an innovative software

application that provides advanced tools for

creating customizable GUIs (Graphical User

Interfaces) that simplify your operations. Whether

you are creating GUIs for use with Routing, Master

Control, Quality Assurance (QA) Stations, Control

and Monitoring, Network Management or other

applications, CCS Navigator™ reduces the

complexity of everyday actions to simple point-

and-click operations. It also provides graphical

feedback of status and monitoring tailored to your

requirements. CCS Navigator™ is the most

advanced CCS™ application available today.

Seamless Integration

Many system opportunities today require

interoperability between different

manufacturers’ router systems within

existing facility designs. End users very often

favor one manufacturer’s control system

over another. Also, end users often have

another manufacturer’s routing system in

place and are simply looking to expand

current routing capabilities.

Edge is a 1RU device that acts as a bridge

between Leitch XY router protocols and

other third-party router control/monitoring

protocols. Edge is distinguished from existing

Leitch SPTs (Serial Protocol Translators) in that

it can support third-party TCP/IP protocols as

well as serial protocols. Many system designs

require Harris router control panels to

manage third-party routers. Other system

designs require Harris routers to be controlled

by third-party router control panels. The Edge

provides support for the Thomson/Grass

Valley Group SMS-7000 protocol and the

Utah routing protocol. Please check our

website for information on future protocol

support releases.
