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 convergence
platform.

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.

FEATURES

▪ Combined IP and baseband sub-networks in a single platform
▪ Video processing, advanced audio processing, compression and multiplexing in a single, flexible platform

with intuitive graphical management tools

◦ Dual-channel baseband modules provide 28 channels of high-density baseband video

processing, including up-, down-, and cross-conversion and synchronization

◦ Advanced audio processing capabilities, including integrated Dolby® E, Dolby® Digital,

AAC, AAC-HE, MPEG audio and DTS Neural Surround™ UpMix, DownMix and DTS

Neural Loudness Control
◦ Audio and video multiplexing and demultiplexing for compressed streams
◦ MPEG-2 and H.264 compression standards are supported from SD and HD to 3 Gb/s and

mobile

▪ Support for up to 14 independent, single-slot modules with internal connectivity

◦ 3 Gb/s baseband connections to/from each module
◦ 1 Gb/s data connection to/from each module
◦ Independent control network to/from each module

▪ Integrated, seamless signal redundancy with full redundant configurations across processing, compression

and routing for critical broadcast paths

▪ Inputs/outputs include analog video/audio, SD-SDI, HD-SDI, AES audio (balanced, unbalanced), fiber optics,

Ethernet for control and IP video, ASI and serial data
▪ Hot-swappable front and back modules, and controllers
▪ Standard support for thumbnails, customizable alarms and MPEG-4 streaming
▪ Two external reference genlock loops; high-performance passive loop-through inputs
▪ Support for two hot-swappable, redundant power supplies — each independently able to handle the

complete frame power load (650 W)
▪ Integral fan cooling with front-to-back primary airflow; designed to support full load at 40° C ambient with no

thermal stacking limitations
▪ Direct Ethernet connectivity (1000Base-T for control/monitoring, 1000Base-T for data) to the frame with

optional redundancy
▪ A variety of control methods to suit every operational environment: NUCLEUS™, CCS Navigator™, local

control panel, rich interface application (RIA) HTTP web browser or third-party control systems via published

SNMP MIBs for application modules

• 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
