World’s Only True Embedded Audio Processing Router
Platinum MX combines the best of both high bandwidth video signal routing and an internal TDM architecture to provide the world's first embedded audio infrastructure router. The combination of these technologies into a single frame enables Platinum MX to provide processing functionality todemux incoming embedded audio signals route them independently and discretely, and thenmultiplex any audio signal within the router on any digital video output. Additionally, utilizing the TDM M•A•X crosspoint Platinum MX can perform phase reversal, swap, sum and "quiet" break-away switching of the audio between any discrete or embedded input, provide gain/level adjustments on a per-channel basis.

This combined capability provides significant savings in space, power, cost and complexity. System designs can now include a reduction of the number of modules, frames, wiring and system integration while providing enhanced functionality.

Enhanced Control and Monitoring
Harris router control systems make even the most complex router configuration simple and intuitive to implement and maintain. Low-level discovery of available hardware allowing database creation and maintenance to be accomplished from the engineer's desk and automatic wizard based creation of logical source assignments for demultiplexed audio levels are among the powerful tools available for administering systems. The database editor interface provides access to the Platinum MX's distributed control architecture which drives router frames and control surfaces without reliance on a centralized controller. Each Platinum MX frame features redundant control modules that store configuration information related to that frame in non-volatile memory protecting your crucial configuration information and current routing status. This topology also allows control panel communication to be distributed throughout the facility eliminating single points of failure.

Integrated Multi-Viewer Support
Platinum MX is the only routing system in the marketplace to offer an integrated, internal multi-viewer system. Centrio modules reside in the Platinum MX frame seamlessly providing multi-viewer support for all inputs coming into the router. Combining superior graphics, industry-proven architecture and integrated test and measurement tools, CENTRIO is a landmark development in multiviewer design and value. With multi-image processing, routing, superior graphics, and an unrivaled monitoring toolkit all in one chassis, CENTRIO delivers a lower cost solution, simpler system design and a more efficient use of space for broadcast video and audio monitoring, master control rooms, broadcast trucks, and events. Each multi-viewer output provides up to 32 discrete Pip (picture in picture) images that are controlled from the router control system in the same way as dedicated outputs creating user-friendly experience that is easily understood by operators.

Higher Reliability
Platinum MX routing frames are designed for harsh operation (including mobile truck environments) and feature front-loading, hot-swappable modules for ease of serviceability. Employing the latest technology, Platinum MX allows more functionality at lower power consumption, and is supported by redundant, load sharing power supplies. Airflow is from front to back, with each fan individually replaceable without taking the system offline. For further reliability, Platinum MX I/O modules support either eight inputs or eight outputs, thereby limiting the number of signals affected by any one module. Each Platinum MX frame supports redundant control, and redundant cross-points are available in most configurations.
