Glossary
3Gig Video at 2.97 or 2.967 Gbps. In Grass Valley routers, 3Gig cards support HD and SD signals as well.
Video at 3Gig conforms to SMPTE standard 424M.
Asynchro-
nous mode As it applies to the compact AES routers, “asynchronous” means switched without a video refer-
ence signal. In asynchronous mode, the AES router passes the input to the output unmodified.
In asynchronous mode, AES ‘takes’ occur in “stereo” pairs only.
Breakaway A breakaway takes multiple sources, on different levels, to a destination.
CE Conformité Européenne. European health and safety product label.
Captive Panel A “captive” panel is one that is mounted on a router and not on a remote panel module.
CRSC can detect, but not configure, captive panels.
CR Compact Router.
CR6400 A family of 2RU routers with the CR Series that have a 64×64 switching matrix and modular
construction. The family includes a 2RU control panel.
CQX CQX represents the “clean and quiet” compact routers and panels.
DC Direct Current.
DHCP DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is an IP standard for simplifying the management
of host IP configuration. A DHCP server assigns a device an IP address using an IP address data-
base on a local network. Such assignments are made dynamically and the devices do not have
fixed IP addresses.
EIA Electronic Industries Alliance. A trade organization for electronics manufacturers in the United
States. The organization helps develop standards on electronic components, consumer elec-
tronics, electronic information, telecommunications, and Internet security.
HD High definition (HD-SDI). In Grass Valley routers, HD cards support SD signals as well. HD video
conforms to SMPTE standard 292M.
IEC International Electrotechnical Commission. An international standards organization dealing
with electrical, electronic and related technologies.
IEEE Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers. An international non-profit, professional organiza-
tion for the advancement of technology related to electricity.
I/O Input/Output.
LAN Local Area Network.
Remote Panel A remote panel is a control panel that is mounted on a remote panel module. Remote panels are
different from “captive” panels.
Remote Panel
Module A remote panel module is a a CR Series device, resembling a router without I/O connectors, that
issues commands to routers when a control panel is mounted on it. The remote panel module
also returns router status to the control panel mounted on it.
RU Rack Unit. A standard measure or size for frames (1.75 inches).
