IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
in tend ed to aler t t he us er t o the p res enc e of u n-in sul ated , dan ger ous vol tag e
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to c ons t i t u t e
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of important operating and maintenance (i.e.: servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
• Read these instructions.
• Keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Don ’t us e th is apparat us n ear water .
• Clean only with a dry cloth.
• Don ’t block an y v entilati on openings.
• Install in ac cordance with the manufac tu rer’s in struc tions.
• Don’t install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatuses (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Don ’t def eat t he s afet y p ur pos e of t he p ola ri zed or g r ound in g-typ e plug. A polarized plug has
two blades with one wider than other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the plug provided
do es not f it i nto your outlet , con sult an elect rician to r epl ace th e obsolete out l et .
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinch ed, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles , an d t he poi nt wh ere th ey exit fr om the apparat us.
• On ly use attachments/accessories s pecified by th e manufac ture r
• Unplug this apparatus during light ni ng storms, or when unused for long periods of time.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. S ervici ng is required when the apparatus has
been d amaged in any w ay, such as damag e to the power-supply cord or plug, contact with
liquid (or any obj ect sm al l en ou gh to en te r t he app ar at us ), exp osu r e t o r ai n or m oi st ur e, dr op
damage, or upon ex periencin g any abnormal operati on.

High Density Modular Video Router
1. OVERVIEW
The EMR is a multi-format modular rout er that pr ovides a high density solution w ithout compromising
functionality. The EMR provides a unified platform for r out in g vi d eo as w ell as ot her f orm at s. Th e EM R
uses a propr ietary X-L in k inter face to produce a video rout er that i s both cos t effecti ve and pow erf ul .
A single 6RU frame can accomm odat e 128x128 video signals, and expansion beyond this is as easy as
adding another frame. With two 6RU frames, the EMR can ac commodate 288x288 video signals with full
redundancy.
The m odular desi gn o f th e EMR m eans t hat ther e are no li mitati ons to the signal form ats t hat c an be
add ed to th e r ou t er, or l i m i t ati on s t o th e size at whic h it can be expanded to. Ot her products that can be
combined with t he EMR are audio routing, master cont rol lers, multi -viewers and more.
Configuration:
The EM R al lows any mix of formats w ithin a fr ame. Th e inputs and out puts are scalabl e i n blocks of 32. A
system consists of the input stage, the cr osspoint, and the output st age. Each input and output device is
con nec t ed t o th e c ros sp oin t th roug h a p ropr i et ary X-Link c onnec tion. It is the use of this connec tion that
provides the flexibility for the system to scale and evolve with changi ng needs.
Scalability:
The EMR can be scaled well beyond a single frame. A single crosspoint module can support up to 9 input
modules and 9 out put m odules, allowing a system to scale to 288x288 video signals .
Redundancy:
Each input and output card in the EMR contains multiple X-Link interfaces that allow connections to
multiple crosspoints. Each input card provides two X-Link outputs that can be used for redundant
connections, and eac h output card provid es t wo X-Lin k inputs that can be s etup to automatically fail over if
the primary connect ion fails. Th e redundancy struc ture of the E MR mi nimizes the chances of any failur e
to th e sys tem.
Control:
Con trol of th e EMR is via two redundant f rame cont rol lers. W hen combin ed with t he E QX s erver, the EMR
can be c ont r oll ed us in g a w id e r ang e o f c ont rol p anel s and in ter f ace s. The E MR al so p rov id es a S NMP
int erf ace to control var ious config uration options.
System Integration:
W hen combined with MVPX and VIPX multi-viewers, the EMR provides an abundant of options t o m onitor
the integrity of video signals. E ach c rosspoint module contains 9 X -Link outputs t hat are avail able to feed

front of the chassis. W hen a SC-2000 is ordered, a single c ontroller card and a ch assis are supplied. In
addition, a SC-2000-R can be ordered to add a redundant controller card to the system. In a fully
