•
Allows relay bypass
•
Includes synchronous or asynchronous switching
•
Accepts NTSC/PAL/AES references for switching
•
Allows “mix and match” of signal types in the same frame
•
Provides BOS/CCS Pilot™ integrated control capabilities:
•
System discovery / diagnostics – SNMP
•
Remote control – Ethernet
•
Remote monitoring and configuration
•
Provides control via local panel, RS-232/RS-422, X-Y, or
IP/Ethernet
•
Allows signal processing (A/D, D/A, frame synchronizers,
distribution amplifiers, etc.) functions and matrix routing can be
mixed in the same frame
Backup Switching
During the course of everyday events in a television facility, unexpected
circumstances will occur. Although undesirable, these circumstances do
not have to be catastrophic. With the new NEO series of professional
audio and video routers, the occurrence of such an event will be
manageable. While they cannot protect against every undesirable
condition, the NEO series of routers are designed to provide a backup
for some of the more common situations. Two such conditions are loss
of signal and loss of power. In the event of a signal loss to an individual
input or the disruption of power to a single card or an entire frame, NEO
routers can automatically switch to a predetermined source, thereby
allowing you time to evaluate and correct the fault condition.
By use of the front-edge control or remote communications you can
configure the NSM-8×1AES to either automatically switch upon
detection of signal failure, or manually switch to the desired source.
The switching can be controlled locally by using front edge control or
remotely by using our Command and Control System (CCS).
