Applications
Platinum Frames and Modules
Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual
SDTV/HDTV/AES core routing: The Platinum wideband digital multirate routing
switcher can be used as an on-air router for up to 512x512 applications; for example,
core facility routing, master control distribution, transmission solutions, etc.
SD to HD migration: The Platinum wideband digital multirate routing switcher will
pass and reclock both standard SD (including 143, 177, 270, 360, and 540 Mb/s) and
HD (1.485 Gb/s) signals, which allows you to route both SD and HD signals in the same
router. Consequently, it provides you with a high degree of investment protection, in
that an SD facility could easily migrate to HD without the need to replace the router.
AES/EBU digital audio, SD, and HD in the same platform: The Platinum wideband
digital multirate routing switcher can switch signals from 3 Mb/s to 1.5Gb/s, thereby
providing a truly digital signal diagnostic solution. The Platinum I/O boards will route
digital audio, SD and HD. Now you can route nearly any digital audio or video signal
within the same router platform.

Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Compliance
Directive 2002/95/EC — commonly known as the European Union (EU) Restriction on
Hazardous Substances (RoHS) — sets limits on the use of certain substances found in
electrical and electronic equipment. The intent of this legislation is to reduce the amount of
hazardous chemicals that may leach out of landfill sites or otherwise contaminate the
environment during end-of-life recycling. The Directive, which took effect on July 1, 2006,
refers to the following hazardous substances:
Lead (Pb)
Mercury (Hg)
Cadmium (Cd)
Hexavalent Chromium (Cr-V1)
Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB)
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
1
A total of 8 PT-PS power supplies can be used in the Platinum chassis. TUV will test for chassis leakage
currents using all 8 power supplies operating simultaneously to determine the total chassis leakage
current. This total chassis leakage current value must meet EN60950 and CSA 22.2.

In accordance with this EU Directive, all products sold in the European Union will be fully
RoHS-compliant and “lead-free.” Spare parts supplied for the repair and upgrade of
equipment sold before July 1, 2006 are exempt from the legislation. Equipment that
complies with the EU directive will be marked with a RoHS-compliant emblem, as shown in
Figure P-1.

Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Compliance
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection, treatment, recovery, and recycling of electrical
and electronic waste products. The objective of the WEEE Directive is to assign the
responsibility for the disposal of associated hazardous waste to either the producers or users
of these products. As of August 13, 2005, producers or users are required to recycle
electrical and electronic equipment at end of its useful life, and may not dispose of the
equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some EU member states
may have different deadlines.)
xxv
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or electronic devices in the
EU will affix labels indicating that such products must be properly recycled. Contact your
Sales representative for information on returning these products for recycling. Equipment
that complies with the EU directive will be marked with a WEEE-compliant emblem, as
shown in Figure P-2.

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.
This chapter covers the following topics:
Control Features on page 17
Frame-Specific Components on page 10
Frame Specifications on page 21
Front Panel LED Indicators on page 15
Main Features on page 2
Module-Specific Components on page 11
Product Description on page 1
Product Description
The Platinum routing switcher system provides matrix expandability beyond 8×8, to
512×512 in a single frame. The 8×8 building block provides ideal growth and flexibility for
mixed applications such as high definition and serial digital interface, and other integrated
processing opportunities such as analog and/or digital conversion. With its ability to route
signals ranging from 3.0 Mb/s to 2.97 Gb/s, the Platinum router offers a clear growth path
from lower bit rate signals to high bandwidth, high definition format signals. This router will
also handle both AES and polarity sensitive ASI/SSI signal formats.
The Platinum router is available in these frame sizes:
The 5RU (PM-FR-5) frame supports matrices up to 72×64.
The 9RU (PM-FR-9) frame supports matrices up to 128×128.
The 15RU (PT-FR-15) frame supports matrices up to 256×256.
The 28RU (PT-FR-28) frame supports matrices up to 512×512.
All of these frames use common, front-loadable, and hot-swappable input and output
modules. The 9RU, 15RU, and 28RU frames use common crosspoint modules. (The 5RU
frame uses a different crosspoint module). Each frame has a passive module interconnect
(MI) signal distribution module interconnecting the routing system.

Chapter 1
Introduction
The frames support user-friendly, self guiding insertion and extraction: No module can be
inserted into the wrong area where damage (electrical or physical) may occur. The frames
are designed so that, during module insertion or extraction, damage to other modules is
prevented. All modules ground before any active components are energized. This includes
standard make-before-break power connectors and grounding tabs, where necessary, on
modules.
Each frame is accessible from the front via sectioned, removable doors. Status LEDs can be
viewed through these doors; these LEDs indicate power supply presence (and status),
resource module usage, and link light indicators for Ethernet communications ports. Two
tri-color LEDs that indicate user-defined alarm conditions are also viewable through the
door. (See Figure 1-8 on page 16.)
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. This function, a common concern of professional broadcast
customers, is not offered by many current competitive products. By using redundant
crosspoint modules, a fully redundant path through the system is available. While the 5RU,
9RU, and 15RU Platinum frames provide complete hardware crosspoint redundancy, all
frames offer redundant path operation based on advanced rule sets integrated into the
control system, thus providing a more robust operation than typically found in competitive
offerings.
