Integrator® Routing Switchers 
The Integrator®line of routing switchers allow you to switch multiple signal formats within the same 4RU, 6RU or 8RU frame. With expansion in groups of 32 inputs or 32 outputs, Integrator provides cost effective scalability for analog video and many telco formats up to 64x64 in 4RU or 128x64 in 6RU. Analog audio can be expanded up to 128x128 in 6RU. Data routing (ie. RS-422/232) is supported with up to 64 ports in 4RU and 128 ports in an 8RU frame.

As Integrator routing switchers support “true” analog video and analog routing, they are especially well-suited to the routing of composite signals (including even lower quality analog video signals such as VHS), telco signals such as DS3 or E3 and time-code. The Integrator family of routing switchers are widely used in network, local broadcaster, mobile production, cable, telco, military, government and corporate applications where analog signals are still in use.

Robust Architecture with Proven Reliability
Integrator routing frames are designed for harsh operation (including mobile truck environments), and feature front-loading, hot-swappable modules for ease of serviceability and 24/7 operation. Integrator frames support redundant, load-sharing power supplies. Redundant controllers/logic cards are also supported providing seamless transition in the event of a failure.

Enhanced Control and Monitoring
The distributed control system used in Harris routing switchers is unique in the industry in that it does not require a separate, centralized controller. Each Integrator 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.

Mixed Signal Formats can be Integrated in the Same Frame
Signal formats routed include analog audio and video, Telco related formats such as DS3 (45 Mb/s) and E3 (34 Mb/s) and data routing for machine control.

Integrator offers soft-matrix partitioning of hardware matrices for efficient integration of the router into the matrices required by the facility. It also offers software that provides virtual crosspoint mapping for improved input and output utilization, crosspoint restrictions such as locks and protects, uploadable drivers for diagnostics and control of other vendors’ equipment, and left/right audio channel reversal for audio routing systems. All configuration settings are stored in nonvolatile Flash Memory. Other options available include dual outputs, output monitoring, and left/right swapping.

Designed for Control, Reliability and Redundancy
Integrator’s distributed architecture removes single points of failure and supports installations across multiple locations. Plus, the Integrator offers optional, redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and logic controller cards and incorporated alarms for control, fans and power supplies. These are provided via contact closures on the rear of each unit, as well as through our control system software applications, which can be networked through serial, coaxial and Ethernet direct to the frame or through a wide range of control panels.
