1. Getting Started

The Rainier Summit series is Avitech’s newest addition of multiviewers designed to meet 4K monitoring demands. The 2RU Rainier Summit with modular design accommodates up to 24 multiplerate SDI/CVBS video sources on six hot-swappable multiviewer cards. Each card features both HDMI and SDI outputs that can be independently configured to meet various display and production requirements. Rainier Summit offers high-resolution multiview video and on-screen graphics up to 4K30 Ultra HD (UHD) clarity while managing with complete layout flexibility.

Utilizing a high-speed built-in router, Rainier Summit enables flexible routing and unlimited signal repetition across image windows of different multiviewer cards. Through internal and external cascading, it allows user to combine multiple cards for multiview monitoring of up to 100 sources; ideal for building fully dynamic multiviewing systems for video production and master control.

1. Make sure the Rainier Summit is powered on and connected properly to the computer via Ethernet before launching the Phoenix-Q software.

2. DO NOT

use the serial cable to connect the Rainier Summit to the computer. The serial port is for

connecting to a TSL controller/interface.

3.1 Connection Method

Connect the Rainier Summit to the controlling computer via an Ethernet cable.

Before connecting the computer to the Rainier Summit, the computer will need to be changed to a static IP, and its subnet mask must be set to a similar range as the Rainier Summit (“192.168.0.5” – factorydefault IP address). Or, the IP address of the Rainier Summit can be changed to a similar range as the controlling computer. See Appendix C for details.

3.2 Pinging the Rainier Summit

Make sure to be able to ping the chassis at “192.168.0.5” (factory-default IP address).

Step 1. Run the Phoenix-Q software by double-clicking Phoenix-Q.exe.

Step 2. Enter the factory-default IP address 192.168.0.5. Then click Ping.

Figure 3-1 Phoenix-Q Software: Enter the IP Address to Ping

Step 3. The following window will appear to signify a successful communication. Click OK to exit.

Figure 3-2 Phoenix-Q Software: IP Address Pinged Successfully

3.3 Starting Up the Phoenix-Q Software

Step 1. Run the Phoenix-Q software by double-clicking Phoenix-Q.exe.

Step 2. Make sure to set the correct IP address (see Appendix C for details).

Step 3. Select the only type of connection allowed by clicking the IP Port checkbox. Then click

Connect.

Figure 3-3 Phoenix-Q Software: Select the Ethernet Connection Method

If Windows detects and pops up the security alert window as shown below, just click Unblock to proceed

Phoenix-Q will start to search for the Rainier Summit.

Figure 3-4 Phoenix-Q Software: Connection Progress

1. When cascading the Rainier Summit, make sure each chassis has been assigned a different IP address.

2. Make sure the IP address of the computer running the Phoenix-Q software is in the same network as that of the Rainier Summit.

The Group Setup window will list all the card(s) of the Rainier Summit with the default IP under Idle Device.

Figure 3-5 Phoenix-Q Software: Group Setup

Step 4. To assign the grouping, drag an Idle Device listed on the left panel to the desired Group/

Display # on the right panel (i.e. Group/Display 001).

Figure 3-6 Phoenix-Q Software: Assign Idle Device to Group/Display #

Or, click the One Device Per Group button to assign a card of the Rainier Summit to each display or click All Devices in Group 1 to assign all cards to belong to Group/Device 1.

After being assigned, each card will be displayed under its respective assigned group/display.

Figure 3-7 Phoenix-Q Software: Idle Device Assigned to Group/Display 001

Step 5. Next, click OK to exit the Group Setup window. Phoenix-Q will save the configuration file

“System.json” to the device’s flash memory.

Figure 3-8 Phoenix-Q Software: Update the Configuration Progress

After completing the group/display setup, and any time afterwards when the IP address(s) of the Rainier Summit is changed (see Appendix C), perform the simple step of entering the Group Setup window and then clicking OK to exit (there is no need to re-assign the grouping as this has been done by the system). This step is just to maintain system integrity when running the “HTTP” command.

The next figure shows the sample devices assigned to “Group/Display 001.” On the Phoenix-Q software interface shown below, “[5.1]” signifies the IP number of the chassis and card ID number of the module assigned to the group/display. Hence “[5.2]” would signify a chassis IP with number 192.168.0.5 and card ID number 2. The “(O:H/S/E)” appearing after the Rainier Summit-SDI signifies audio “O”utput that is “H”DMI / “S”DI / “E”arphone OUT.

Loudness



This item only applies for the main board bundled with a loudness card.

Time Range

Set the horizontal time scale of the loudness monitor to the desired duration.

Size

X Y

Specify the location of the loudness monitor appearing on screen by setting the X and Y coordinates.

Width Height

User Defined

Loudness Range

(On / Off)

Allow the display of the loudness range. Loudness Range (LRA) is a measure of the variation of loudness on a macroscopic time-scale. Loudness Range or LRA describes the overall program material range: from the softest to the loudest portion. The range is quantified in LU, and to avoid extreme events from affecting the overall result, the top 5% and the lowest 10% of

the total loudness range is being excluded from the LRA measurement.

Target

(–60 to –10)

Set the user-defined Target level. This parameter will change the target value in the loudness monitor. Target levels are specified in various broadcast standards, but only varies slightly. For instance, the ATSC A/85 standard recommends a target of –24 and uses the LKFS term, whereas the EBU R128 standard sets the target level at –23 and uses the LUFS term.

Relative Gate

(–8 or –10)

Set the user defines Relative Gate. A gating scheme that pauses measurement when the audio level drops below a threshold of –10 or –8 LU relative to an un-gated measurement of the same program material has been developed.

Short Term

(1 to 15)

Set the user-defined Short Term value. Changing this parameter affects the short term calculation. Short-term loudness (S) corresponds to loudness using a three second sliding window with no gating. It is basically equivalent to momentary loudness but with a long measurement period.
