Data Rates
Sync Input Signal
Chapter 1: Introduction
The 3 Gb/HS/S/R is capable of sensing, switching, and reclocking all
SMPTE-defined standard and high definition data rates. (See Table 1-9 for the
data rates supported by each format.) If the module does not recognize the data
rate of the input signal, it will automatically go into Bypass mode and route the
input signal without reclocking. If desired, you may set this module to Bypass
mode where it will route any of the input signals to the output(s) without
reclocking, regardless of the data rate of the input signal.

The 3 Gb/HS/S/R has a sync input on the rear panel. A video reference signal
can be fed to this module so that synchronous switching can be achieved. (It is
possible for the user to set a variable time delay before the switch is made so
that critical switching will occur at the proper interval.) The sync signal can be
NTSC, PAL, or trilevel.
Monitoring and Control
The 3 Gb/HS/S/R can be monitored and controlled through any one of various
means. It can be controlled locally via the front panel control option or remotely
via serial, X-Y, or Ethernet with a variety of software packages, including
RouterWorks®, Navigator, and Pilot. The various monitoring and control
options provide a means to manage the switching of video and/or audio signals
through this product as well as communicate the status of the input and output
signals. The monitoring/alarm capabilities of this product enable you to act
accordingly as the result of an alarm condition, should one arise. See page 63
for alarm configuration details.
