1 Product overview

Nevion’s innovative Sublime X2 is a router that punches above its weight. With its
management, cross point and power redundancy, it features the reliability of large modular
routers. A multicore signal processing farm makes it a hybrid router. Its compact form factor
makes it ideal for applications where size really matters. And its clever design, brings cost
savings to its users.

Figure 1 Block diagram of SLX2-3GHD3232-CP

SLX2-3GHD3232-CP is an ultra thin 32x32 router in 2RU supporting redundant cross-point,
redundant controller and a quad-core processing module. Each processing core supports
clean switching and audio embedding/de-embedding making it well suited for OB and play
out applications. The signal processor also offers future proofing by enabling feature
upgrades through a software based processing platform. The SLX2-3GHD3232-CP features
a routing level for the de-embedded and embedded audio. An optional AES extension,

SLX2-3GHD3232-CP Rev. B

providing 32 AES I/O ports and scaling the routing level to a 64x64 AES router, makes the
router the ideal choice for in-studio routing.

The embedded system controllers provide a powerful web interface for control and
management, SNMP support and support for multiple control panels enabling multi user
control. Support for external router and 3rd party interfaces makes Sublime X2 central to any
routing system.
