Safe Switch-L 3G is the way to guarantee a clean switch. This fail-safe switch provides clean and intelligent 2 x 2 switching between two 3Gb/s, HD or SD sources, with the full framestore synchroniser on each input allowing it to correct for any timing difference between the two inputs - resulting in a disruption-free output. |
| MAIN FEATURES |
 |
Clean and intelligent 2 x 2 switch |
|
Switch any source: works with 3Gb/s, HD and SD |
|
Switch it manually: ideal for planned maintenance switches to manually re-route good signal around broken equipment |
|
Switch it automatically: can be used as intelligent emergency transmission switch |
|
Get no disruption to the output picture when a switch takes place: a full framestore synchroniser on each input means it can correct for any timing difference between the two inputs |
|
Delay the earliest arriving input by up to 25 frames in one frame steps - ideal if the backup signal has gone through less processing equipment and arrives several frames earlier than the main input (NEW FEATURE) |
|
Get the functionality of three products on one board: replaces a switch and two synchronisers (saving you money and rack space) |
|
Use any existing timing signals with cross-locking: 3Gb/s, HD or SD inputs can be referenced to either HD tri-level syncs or SD Black and Burst analogue reference |
|
No problem if you lose your reference: will changes its timing smoothly between the reference and the inputs, keeping the output valid at all times |
|
Compensate for mistimed sources elsewhere in the system: with full vertical and horizontal timing adjustment (0-1 frame) |
|
Select from 18 fault conditions to automatically trigger a switch, and monitor any number of parameters in any combination - will work to most significant fault when deciding which input to select |
|
Fault conditions are input missing, input video standard incorrect, EDH missing, EDH full field error, EDH active picture error, line CRC error, audio group 1 missing, audio group 2 missing, audio group 3 missing, audio group 4 missing, active video black, Ancillary Timecode missing (NEW), Ancillary Timecode frozen (NEW), active video frozen (including processed frozen picture detection) and audio silence on any channel in a selected group |
|
Avoid false alarming: set a time period of between two and 120 seconds before the video black, video frozen and audio silence parameters trigger a switch |
|
Choose how to switch back: either reselect the main feed automatically (after your chosen time period) or by user intervention |
|
Discover faults that need fixing: set up two fault indications with their own list of chosen parameters and get very flexible monitoring |
|
Choose your preferred input using a 2 x 2 routing grid – symmetrical switch with no pre-assigned main and secondary feeds |
|
Decide what constitutes a fault separately for each input, allowing selection between signals with different characteristics: so you can
have a deliberately frozen apology caption on your backup but
still set your main signal to switch on video frozen (NEW FEATURE) |
|
Two slot high RM63 rear module provides two inputs, two feeds of output A, two feeds of output B, input and reference loop-throughs, and an analogue reference connection |
|
Prevent signal loss: relay bypass protection on power failure or board removal for extra peace of mind |
|
Space-saving: 'double decker' 100mm x 266mm module allows six Safe Switch-L 3G in 2U (12 in 4U, three in 1U, one in desk top box) |
|
Flexible control and monitoring options, including board edge, front and remote panels, SNMP, GPIs and Statesman PC software |
|
Exceptional GPIs functionality - 12 bi-directional GPIs can be configured as either GPI inputs or GPI outputs |
