With the growing need in broadcast environments to support content from many new
sources — and deliver it over many new mediums — there is an increasing demand to
apply some of the networking efficiencies inherent in the IP domain.
Today’s customers recognize that IP infrastructure will eventually become the norm in the
broadcast facility as compression gets better, networks get larger and products get less
expensive. While this shift will ultimately drive cost savings, the transition period will
undoubtedly present challenges.
Selenio™is a next-generation, modular solution that presents an all-new approach to
networking and signal processing in this converging baseband/broadband arena. With
Selenio, Harris has introduced the industry’s first integrated media convergenceplatform.
An evolution in platform — a revolution in what you can do.
Selenio combines traditional baseband video and audio processing, compression and IP
networking features — all in a single, space-saving 3RU frame. This combination of
technologies enables full-featured multichannel video and audio processing, distribution
and compression applications at a size and density scale that is unprecedented in the
marketplace.
To manage all that functionality? A built-in, highly intuitive, graphically rich, web-based
interface using Microsoft® Silverlight® technology, which enables operators to get the
most functionality from the new platform — without being buried under an avalanche of
manuals and bespoke commands.
Now you can manage baseband and IP intelligently and efficiently. Reduce cabling and
simplify your broadcast infrastructure. Deftly juggle multiple compression standards,
video/audio signals, encoding formats. Get all the functionality you need to run your
business today — and a clear, cost-effective growth path to whatever is on your horizon.

• Two genlock reference looping inputs utilizing standard BNC connectors
• Built-in, browser-based management system (no software required) that incorporates support for rich
interactive features through Microsoft® Silverlight®
• A General Purpose Interface (GPI) — Two GPI inputs and outputs are provided on a multi-pin type
connector
• Power Supply — Each frame includes one energy-efficient, 80 Plus Gold-certified power supply that
will power a fully loaded frame
Selenio options include a second power supply and a second controller for redundancy, as well as a
local control panel.
N+1 Redundancy
N+1 redundancy is supported in the Selenio frame. Redundancy is accomplished by using an external
router or a crosspoint on the Selenio controller module.
Redundancy is implemented through software provisioning (controller module, application module and
control system).
Without Selenio: Complex broadcast infrastructure and workflow
With Selenio: Significantly streamlined infrastructure and workflow
PRODUCT DETAILS
Every shipment of the Selenio frame includes the following:
• A controller for interface to control networks (with an option for data networks)

Genlock Reference
There are three means of utilizing the external reference:
1. Main and back-up color black (blackburst)
or TLS (Tri-Level Sync) references
2. Color black (blackburst) or TLS and DARS
(Digital Audio Reference Signal) for AES-11
compliance configurations
3. Two different reference signals – e.g., color
black NTSC and (black burst) PAL – can be
applied to the frame, and each module capable
of locking to an external reference can be
chosen to lock to either reference
Application modules with a frame synchronizer function have an analog reference connection to the two
external reference inputs. Neither of these analog reference connections is broken if the controller
module must be removed for servicing.
Application modules that require a digital reference — such as the encoder, decoder or
multiplexer/demultplexer — have a digital reference connection to each of the two controller modules.
Intuitive Web-based GUI
Featuring a built-in, browser-based management system (no software required) that incorporates support
for rich interactive features through Microsoft® Silverlight®, Selenio provides a graphically rich interface
that enables operators to get the most functionality from the new platform — without being buried under
an avalanche of manuals and bespoke commands.
Operators can access the platform from their web browser and, using graphical block diagrams for each
particular module, can easily step through the configuration process — significantly reducing the chance
of error.
HD-BNC Connectors
Selenio application modules utilize high-density HD-BNC connectors for video and audio connectivity.
The HD-BNC offers the same strength and is the same bayonet-locking connector as standard BNC
connectors.
HD-BNC connectors meet all SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 424M return loss specifications — and exceeds
them at 3 Gb/s. For high-density applications, a cable insertion/extraction tool is available, which is as
simple to use as the standard BNC tool

Back modules are easily connected to the frame utilizing alignment pins and captive machine screws.
Controller Modules
The Selenio system redundant controller module provides control and management for the entire
system. Functions include provisioning, status, fault management and supervisory control. Integral
SDI/ASI and Ethernet switching with external routing provides N+1 redundancy.
Each controller includes two 1000Base-T Ethernet interfaces. One interface provides an IP connection
for system control and firmware upgrades, as well as for monitoring purposes. The second 1000Base-T
Ethernet interface is enabled for video and audio data applications with an optional plug-in sub-module,
and may be provided with an RJ-45 or optional SFP fiber transceiver.
One controller is included with every frame and features two RJ-45 connections: one for control and one
for video networking applications (utilizing the optional video IP sub module). For optical connectivity in
video networking applications, an SFP transceiver option is available for the controller module. A
secondary controller can be provided with the appropriate connectivity at the time of order or easily
added in the field.
Expansion Modules
Inputs, outputs and functionality can be easily increased in Selenio application modules by simply adding
video and audio expansion modules.
Video and audio signals are connected internally over bidirectional high-speed busses — eliminating
external cabling. When an expansion module is installed beside an application module, an automatic
connection takes place. The corresponding block diagram in the graphical user interface is updated,
giving the user setup, control and monitoring functions.
One video expansion module can be placed beside a frame sync or video conversion application
module. Five back-module options provide interfaces for electrical and optical inputs and outputs and
relay bypass for critical signals upon power loss.
For audio expansion, up to two analog audio expansion modules and/or digital audio expansion modules
can be placed beside a frame sync or video conversion application module. Audio expansion modules
can enable additional audio processing such as Dolby® codecs and DTS Neural Loudness Control.
When viewing the front of the frame, video expansion modules are added to the left of the application
module (lower slot numbers). Audio expansion modules are added to the right of the application module
(higher slot numbers).
