1 Introduction
The Smart Switch 3G is a HD/SD 2 x 2 intelligent switch that incorporates sophisticated
monitoring of the two video inputs which can include embedded audio. As well as
automatically switching between two sources Smart Switch 3G can also be controlled
manually.
The auto switch function relies on an error priority rating to control the switch function. This
gives the Smart Switch 3G the ability to appraise both sources and make its switching decision
on the error rating attributed to both sources. This means that the Smart Switch 3G will not
switch away from the primary source if it detects that the standby source contains an error
with a higher priority rating than the error detected on the primary source.
Once a switch has occurred the option is then available to either reselect the primary source on
removal of the error, delay before reselecting the primary source or latch in the switched state
until reset manually.
Smart Switch 3G can monitor 20 parameters on both the primary and standby inputs. These 20
parameters are listed in order of priority from input missing to input frozen and channel 3-4
audio silent. Any of these parameters can be selected to create an alarm as well as perform a
switch, although an auto switch can only occur away from the highest priority error.
The Smart Switch 3G card can be controlled by Statesman PC control software, active control
panel such as the REMIND-E, or from its card edge controls. The main features of Smart
Switch 3G are:
