The Avenue Flexible Matrix Router is a digital Router that can be configured in a variety of matrix sizes
and with a variety of options. Highlights of its functionality include ease of expansion, configurable
input/output ports, exclusive video thumbnails, configurable control panels, built-in test signal
generator and sync pulse generator, and assignable resources such as optional clean and quiet
switching on multiple outputs.
The exclusive live thumbnail display in the Router Control Panel and web user interface lets you look at
your source before you perform a take.
Highly flexible matrix sizing lets you decide on your own configuration. The basic size is 8 inputs by
2 outputs. You can add user configurable input/output ports up to 28x2 (or 8x22) and any size in
between.
The assignable clean switch option gives you full frame synchronization that locks to your house
reference so it can switch cleanly between asynchronous sources. VITC captured from the reference
input can drive time-scheduled switching.
The Avenue modular digital video router is a flexible, technologically advanced small router. Its
flexibility makes it possible to tailor the input/output dimensions to a wide range of applications,
including mobile and portable systems, ENG trucks, QC monitoring stations, graphics and post-
production islands, edit suites, ingest, production switcher pre-select, master control bypass switching,
driving on-set monitors, general utility switching, and numerous other applications.
