Avenue 9430 Flexible Matrix Router Installation, Configuration and Operations Guide
9430 Router Module
The control system for the Router resides on this module. The control system, discussed at length in
Chapter 4: Configuration, is accessed through a web browser interface.
The 9430 Router Module provides eight dedicated Input Ports and two dedicated Output Ports.
In addition to these Inputs and Outputs, the 9430 provides video thumbnail capture, Test Signal
Generation, and Genlock/Timing. The smallest possible version of the Flexible Matrix Router consists
only of a 9430 module.
Built-in Signal Diagnostics
Circuitry on the 9430 module detects and measures key parameters associated with each video
source and makes these parameters available for display on both the hardware and software panels.
Parameters include synchronicity and timing, line and frame rate, embedded audio presence/absence,
closed caption information, and timecode data.
Fail-Safe Relay Bypass Mechanism
Input 1 and Output 1 are linked together by a fail-safe relay bypass mechanism. In the event of a
power or system failure, the signal presented to Input 1 is directly connected to Output 1.
9440 I/O Expansion Module Option
One or two 9440 I/O Expansion modules can be added to a 9430 to provide additional digital I/O
Ports. Each 9440 adds ten bi-directional ports, each of which can be independently configured as an
input or an output. These expansion modules attach to either side of the 9430 core module to form a
maximum set of three boards. A Router with two 9440 modules has a total of 30 ports.
9435 Dual Clean Switch Submodule Option
Each of the 9435 submodules provide two independent frame-synchronized SDI clean switches,
resulting in the ability to switch cleanly between asynchronous sources. Audio sample rate conversion
makes the audio output clean and silent. You can use the control system to assign a clean switch to
any SDI input or output. Each clean switch can be assigned to one or more outputs by using the Follow
port configuration. For more information about port configuration choices, please see Configuring the
Router’s Ports on page 54.
A total of two 9435 submodules, providing a total of four independent clean switches, can be installed.
The first 9435 mounts on the 9430 Router Module. The second 9435 installs on the 9440 Input
Expansion Module in expansion position 1.
5830 Router Control Panel
The Router Control Panel communicates with the 9430 Core module by Ethernet to control the Router
and display thumbnail previews of content. An essentially unlimited number of 5830 Router Control
Panels can be used in a Router system. You can also access signal diagnostic information from the LCD
display on the Router Control Panel. The Router Control Panel is only 1.8” (45mm) deep, so it can be
installed in very shallow positions.
