2 About AXON Axon Digital Design is one of a rare breed of technology pioneering companies. Over 25 years, from its base in the Netherlands, it has grown to become a global leader in broadcast network infrastructure products and solutions. Axon is active and growing on every continent. It has regional offices in Brazil, China (Beijing and Shanghai), Germany, Russia, UAE (Dubai), Singapore, UK and USA. Also, it has an extensive network of specialist systems integrators that work with many of the world s leading broadcasters on every continent. For a quarter century, Axon has invested in a global distributor network that supports its operations with value added services and enterprise operations. An almost obsessive focus on customer support and a very consistent product strategy over this time has generated a list of very loyal customers that would be the envy of any technology vendor. What sets Axon apart from other technology vendors? The 25 years of Axon s history have witnessed seismic changes in the broadcast industry: from analogue to digital, 4:3 to widescreen, standard definition to high definition, 2D to 3D, linear passive to fully interactive and now the growing trend towards multiplatform distribution, second screen applications and connected TV. Throughout all these changes, Axon has pioneered new enabling technologies in order to empower its customers. In each of its three core product areas Synapse modular AV processing (including multiview and routing), Cortex monitoring & control system and TRACS compliance recording Axon has delivered new levels of performance by harnessing the latest technical innovations and maintained a crystal clear focus on its customers and their needs.

3 SynView 3Gb/s, HD, low latency modular multiview system Screen overlays: UMD and Tally The SynView system can handle multiple individual selectable UMD and Tally overlays. Modular Multiview Modular multiimage processor scalable up to 72 inputs Axon s multi image viewer system is part of the powerful and versatile Synapse range. SynView can be combined with over 350+ modular Synapse products, making it the most flexible solution in the broadcast market. Output resolutions up to 1920x1200 pixels on and 1080p 3Gb/s on SDI are supported. Other features include integrated Tally and UMD functions with up to three regions per input, metadata and error reporting. SynView can be configured in two housings, 2RU and 4RU. Existing Synapse installations can be expanded with a SynView multiview solution as well. The SynView multiview system is fully compatible with the popular G/H/SQW220 quadsplit cards. And now enhanced with the powerful GMW100 monitoring card. If you are looking for a highly flexible, reliable, short powerup cycle multiviewer with the industry s lowest processing latency, then SynView is the answer.

4 Screen overlays: audio metering and metadata The SynView system is designed to handle multiple individual audio metering and metadata overlays. Audio metering and metadata features Individual meter adjustment per input Different meter scales AES/EBU BBC Nordic User definable transition of color (green>yellow>red) Meters over picture Meters next to picture Meters with or without scale Metadata and input signaling Static input name Video format Time code (ATC, VITC) Aspect ratio of source (WSS/VI/S2016) Audio signaling Audio format reporting (OSD): PCM Null AC3 TimeStamp MPEG1 MPEG2 SMPTEKLV Dolby E Caption data Show ANC mode (blanking in picture) H blanking only V blanking only H+V blanking Screen overlays: clocks The SynView system can handle multiple individual clocks in different styles. Clock source embedded ATC Up counting (GPI/Cortex trigger) Analog Clock 1 Clock source embedded VITC Down counting (GPI/Cortex trigger) Analog Clock 2 Clock source external LTC Clock source external NTP 6 7

5 Display configurations SynView sets new standards in its configuration options. The amount of inputs displayed on an output (head) can easily be expanded. This is achieved by adding cards to this system. With every extra multiview card you will add 4 extra inputs. The flexible building blocks (GQW220, HQW220, GQW200, HQW200, GIQ200 and HIQ200) allow for ultimate scaling of the most demanding systems. Example 2: 5 heads in one 4RU frame This example shows a SynView SVH/SVG (16 x G/HQW x G/HIQ200) configured as a five screen setup with /2 inputs. All screen sources need to be connected individually. Example 1: 72 inputs on one head This example shows a SynView SVH/SVG (18 x G/HQW220) configured as a single screen with 72 SDI inputs. The GIQ200 or HIQ200 adds input functionality. Also, this module accepts NTP timecode on RJ45, LTC input (balanced on subd15) and still 3 3Gb/s, HD or SD inputs. 8 9

6 Example 3: 22+2 inputs in one 2RU frame This example shows a SynView SVH/SVG (4x G/HQW x G/HIQ200) configured as a single screen with 22 SDI inputs and 2 /VGA inputs. All screen sources need to be connected individually. Two expansion slots are still available for extra screen inputs or generic Synapse modules. Example 4: 2 displays in one 2RU frame This example shows a SynView SVH/SVG (6x G/HQW220) configured as a dual screen with 8 and 16 grouped inputs. All screen sources need to be connected individually

7 Multihead applications Other frame layout examples For true multihead applications, a 3rd party router needs to be used. In most cases this router is already part of the system. Cortex router control is the ideal software solution for comprehensive multiviewer management. Using Cortex, with the optional router plugin, enables you to control, monitor and setup every aspect of your multiviewer, from screen layout to source management. This example shows a SynView SVH/SVG (6x G/HQW220) configured as a dual head with 8 and 16 grouped inputs. An external existing router (Brand X) will make this system act as a true multihead system. The GQW220 and HQW220 outputs will work as a set in this setup, not stand alone. The Synview system is based on single slot Synapse cards. Depending on the frame you can have multiple layout configurations: RESET BOOT RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 SynView SVH (32 SDI inputs) REF. 1 REF. 1 LOOP REF. 2RESET REF. 2 BOOT LOOP REF. 1 REF. 1 LOOP REF. 2 REF. 2 LOOP RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 SynView SVH (12 SDI inputs and 5 free expansion slots) RESET BOOT REF. 1 REF. 1 LOOP REF. 2RESET REF. 2 BOOT LOOP REF. 1 REF. 1 LOOP REF. 2 REF. 2 LOOP RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 SynView SVH (15 SDI inputs, 1 /VGA input and 4 free expansion slots) RESET BOOT REF. 1 REF. 1 LOOP REF. 2RESET REF. 2 BOOT LOOP REF. 1 REF. 1 LOOP REF. 2 REF. 2 LOOP RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 RRC/S08 SynView SVH (22 SDI inputs, 2 /VGA inputs and 2 free expansion slots) 12 13

10 Comes with Cortex: configuration, monitoring & control software Synapse comes with a configuration, control and monitoring software package. The AXON Cortex software application provides comprehensive configuration, monitoring and maintenance tools for Synapse. This Windows based application includes functionality that enables the user to remotely: Configure a complex system in a short time frame View, record and archive system events and report to the user with a hierarchical system status display Control devices using an intuitive graphical user interface Maintain the system over its lifetime The standard version of Cortex is available free of charge from the company website (downloadable from Ordering information The ordering information below consists of combining the two building blocks that are part of the SynView system. You combine modules with 4 SDI inputs together with modules that have 3 SDI and 1 input. A great number of configurations are available. Below you find some possible examples. Please contact AXON for specific requirements. The Cortex multiview controls allows complete GUI of resultant output, allows control of multiple cards from one dialog, allows local presets/ screen layouts to be saved and recalled from local files on the PC, allows standard mouse movement to control the size shape and position of the windows. It also has options to hold aspect ratio, snap to grid and stop overlapping windows on movement. 12 Input multiviewers SVG DS: 12 3Gb/s SDI input multiviewer in an SFR08 with outputs and SNMP SVG SS: 11 3Gb/s SDI + 1 /VGA input multiviewer in an SFR18 with outputs and SDI outputs 24 Input multiviewers SVH S: 22 HD SDI + 2 /VGA input multiviewer in an SFR08 with with outputs SVG M: 20 3Gb/s SDI + 4 /VGA input multiviewer in an SFR18 with both SDI and outputs 32 Input multiviewers SVG MS: 32 3Gb/s SDI input multiviewer in an SFR08 with both SDI and outputs and SNMP SVG D: 31 3Gb/s SDI + 1 /VGA input multiviewer in an SFR18 with outputs 72 Input multiviewers SVH S: 70 3Gb/s SDI + 2 /VGA input multiviewer in an SFR18 with SDI outputs SVG M: 51 3Gb/s SDI + 17 /VGA input multiviewer in an SFR18 with both SDI and outputs For general specifications visit
