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.
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.
Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual Frame Architecture Platinum routing switchers are available in 5RU, 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frame sizes. Each size can accommodate any signal format or combination of signal formats, and has different options available for customizing. (Some aspects of frame customization and matrix size specifics will be discussed in detail in each signal format’s individual section).
Page 35
Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual 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.

This protects your back module from unintended alignment issues Optical Back Module (SFP) with DensiShield (PT-FSDX8O1D-IBG) The PT-FSDX8O1D-IBG Input module is based on the PT-FSDMX-IBG module and it provides 8 input SDI options via SFP connectors.

Chapter 3 Input Modules Distributing Outputs to 2 Frames using PT-FSDX8C1D/ PT-FSDX8O1D The following graphic depicts how the PT-FSDX8C1D-IBG/PT-FSDX8O1D-IBG and the PT-HSR1D-IBG can be used together to distribute the 8 possible SDI inputs to 2 Platinum frames, expanding the available outputs. Using a DensiShield cable to connect the DensiShield output of Frame 1 to the DensiShield input of Frame 2, the eight inputs from Frame 1 can be directly routed (through the DensiShield out of Frame 1) to the inputs in Frame 2.
Chapter 3 Input Modules 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.

Page 208
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.
Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual 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 during the vertical blanking interval (no freeze ) or in the active area (freeze).
Page 210
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).

Chapter 3 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.
Page 221
Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual 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.
Page 222
Chapter 3 Input Modules 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.

Chapter 8 Configuration 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: Configure the switch timing for the sync inputs connected to the frame.
Page 427
Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual 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.

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.
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.
Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual 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.
Appendix B Laser Safety Guidelines 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. Avoid exposing the eye to emissions from unterminated, energized optical connectors at close distances.
Platinum Frames and Modules Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual Labels The Class 1 Laser Products label (see Figure B-1) is applicable to Class 1 laser products. CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT IEC 60825-1:1993 + A1:1997 + A2:2001 CAUTION:INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN. AVOID EXPOSURE TO THE BEAM.
