Xenon brings many advanced new capabilities to the world of routing switchers, building on a new generation design that starts with a solid, multi-format router core

In today's broadcast environment, a router must be reliable, resilient and cost effective. The Xenon excels in all of these areas while offering the flexibility of multiformat operation, and the ability to add Signal Processing Technology.

Great care has been taken in the design of the Xenon to avoid single points of failure. Active assemblies are all hot swappable from the front of the frame. Power, control, cooling and reference generation are available in redundant configurations.

Features & Benefits

Configuration • The Xenon allows any mix of formats within a frame in independent blocks of 32 inputs or outputs. Any of the supported formats, 3G/HD/SD/AES/Analog, can be expanded to fill an entire 128x128 frame. Additionally the Xenon supports optical routing from 3Mb/s to 3Gb/s in blocks of 32 inputs or outputs.

The Xenon is housed in a 4RU frame, switching up to 64 sources to 64 destinations, or in an 8RU frame switching up to 128 sources to 128 destinations. Additional input and output modules can be installed into the router at anytime.

Control • The Xenon router includes, as standard, an internal Frame Controller module which supports four Q-Link ports, two Ethernet ports and two Serial ports mounted on the rear of the router.

The Xenon has a number of control options, they are:

Remote Control Panel: Any panel(s) from the entire range of Quartz remote control panels can be used with the Xenon router connected via Q-Link.

External third party control: The Xenon router can be remotely controlled via an external third party control device, such as an automation system, when connected to the router's serial port.

Expansion • The input and output stages of the Xenon can be expanded in steps of 32 at any time by adding additional I/O modules. The Xenon can not be expanded beyond its frame size.

Power Supply • The power supplies for the Xenon are internal. The 4RU & 8RU frame can be fitted with an optional redundant power supply with separate AC power inlet & alarm output.

Designed for Performance Ultra Wide Band Routing • By offering a format independent data path, the Xenon supports signals from 3Mb/s all the way up to 3Gb/s including SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI,, DVB-ASI, SMPTE ST 310 digital video formats as well as optical formats and other high data rate signals.

Video • Xenon supports 3G, HD, SD and ASI video routing. It is available as 3G/HD/SD or HD/SD or SD only, offering cost savings for those who do not require 3G and or HD capability. For those applications requiring the signal to be reclocked, reclocking modules can be added in blocks of 8 outputs.

Audio • Xenon supports AES Audio routing. 平衡 AES or unbalanced AES on BNCs are supported in any mixture in blocks of 32 inputs or outputs. AES routing within the Xenon is performed as mono channels so signals can be shuffled amongst AES pairs. Xenon also supports Analog audio I/O. the audio is converted and routed as digital so that analog sources can route to AES destinations and AES sources can route to analog destinations. Analog blocks are in groups of 32 stereo pairs.

The Xenon audio router also offers an optional unique MADI conversion option. In this mode any audio input card loops all of its input signals OUT via a MADI signal. Output cards can be operated in standard outuput card mode where they route signals from input cards as normal, or in MADI mode where they act as a MADI input to AES or AA output converter. This allows a user to take signals (such as Analog audio or AES audio) and convert them to a single MADI signal for ease of transmission, bulk processing or relocating to an audio console. The xenon is an affordable option for converting signals to and from MADI. When used in MADI mode the output cards do not operate as standard output cards (they simple convert audio) however they can be mixed with other format cards (ie. video cards, or standard audio router input and output cards) so that unused slots in a xenon router can be put to work. Should MADI based routing (including routing to and from analog, AES and MADI) be desired Evertz offers our EMR audio router.

Signal and System Monitoring • Xenon supports SNMP signal monitoring and comprehensive system monitoring, including power supply voltages, interior temperatures and fan speeds. System status may also be monitored remotely by a network based remote connection over TCP/IP or a direct serial connection to a PC. User-configurable closing contacts are also provided for connection to an external alarm system.

X-LINK • X-LINK outputs are an additional set of outputs from Evertz® standard router platforms. They are for the purpose of providing connectivity to monitoring devices. X-LINK outputs do not reduce the number of outputs on the router, X-LINK outputs are in addition to the standard video router outputs.
