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 multi-platform distribution, second screen applications and connected TV. Visit www.axon.tv for all our other products and brochures. If you require a printed copy of one of our brochures, please contact us at marketing@axon.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. As a result, Axon continues to provide its customers with the capability to differentiate their products and services. For many, Axon is the difference. It understands what makes its customers businesses tick and it can provide solutions that are not just fit for purpose but which are uniquely adapted to the application from live production to play-out and master control. 2 3

Features Flexible I/O SynCross is a Synapse based modular video routing system capable of switching 3Gb/s, HD and SD SDI signals, as well as compressed domain signals such as ASI/DVB and SSI/SMPTE-310. The SynCross routing system is housed in standard Synapse frames occupying a single slot for an 8 input, 8 output system (with the SCG0808) and up to 5 slots for a 40x40 routing solution. Existing SynCross systems can be easily expanded up to 40 in and outputs, with electrical, fiber-optical or a mix between optical and electrical connections. The system can be controlled over the Ethernet, by Cortex or using Cortex Control Panels. ACP (Axon Control Protocol) and a dedicated Ethernet port are available for control from automation systems. With the SynCross compact router range there is flexibility not only with respect to the type of signals but also in the way the signals are physically connected. SynCross supports SDI, ASI/DVB, composite (SD) and SSI/SMPTE-310 signals. All the physical connections are provided by user configurable sfp modules. These modules are well known as fiber I/O, Axon has utilized the sfp form factor to also provide SDI and composite physical connectivity using DIN1.0/2.3 connectors. This means that SynCross is a SDI capable router, a fiber router, a composite router and can also be a mixed I/O router. The GXP880 is the center part of the SynCross system and can be used as a standalone 8x8 router. This board contains the cross-point module capable of routing between 40 inputs and outputs. Expansion I/O modules are connected to the central cross-point via special back panel interconnections allowing all boards to remain hot swappable. Mixed I/O Supports SDI, ASI/DVB, composite (SD) and SSI/SMPTE-310 DIN1.0/2.3 and/or LC fiber connections High density, 8 inputs and 8 outputs in one slot, up to 18 times 8x8 in 4 RU SynCRoss can be configured as a square or non square router depending on the number of sfp modules installed - configurable by the customer The System can operate with two reference signals. Allowing simultaneous SD and HD operation Option to bypass the reclocker function for SMPTE-310 (19.4Mb/s) purposes Possible to integrate with other Synapse applications Expandable system starting from 8x8 up to a 40x40 router Control protocols SW-P-08 protocol over Ethernet ACP (Axon Command Protocol) commands i.e. Cortex or third party software Assignable hardware panels Re-legendable buttons through Cortex and Cortex Control Panels e.g. CCP1601 Crosspoint module Sfp populated back panel with several I/O options (Fiber, CWDM, Composite, SDI) Input and output module 4 5

The Cross-point board has local sfp slots providing the connectivity for a 8x8 router, the system is expandable by adding up to 4 I/O boards. As a user you are able to start with an 8x8 router and expand to 16x16 by adding one I/O board. By adding further I/O modules it is possible to grow with your system up to 40 inputs and 40 outputs. When an I/O module is added to your system the cross-point board will automatically recognize this and will route to/from the I/O s accordingly. SynCross can be installed in every size of Synapse frame. In a SFR04 it is possible to install two 16x16 routers, two 32x32 routers can be accommodated in a SFR08 frame and an SFR18 will hold multiple 40x40 routers. Because of this the compact router can take advantage of the Synapse frames; for example advanced control, double reference distribution and redundant power supplies.

These modules are also hot swappable. 6 7

Control With the SynCross modular router there is not only highly flexible I/O types and video standards but also multiple ways of controlling the system. Physically there are two types of connectors to control the SynCross router. The Cross-point board s back panel is equipped with an Ethernet connection. When the system is expanded with one or multiple I/O boards there are two more types of control possible; this expansion enables control through a serial connection and/or GPI control both physically available on a connector. Physical control connections: on BPH25 (Crosspoint) on BPH26 (I/O boards) SynCross can be controlled in four ways: Axon Control Protocol (ACP) Serial SW-P-08 Serial SW-P-08 over Ethernet GPI As a widely recognized brand in the industry our products are easy to control not only by our own control software, Cortex, but also by third party automation software. Cortex control panels can be used to control our routers through Cortex which enables the user to control multiple products within the Synapse range. Advantages We can supply several types of panels: In some situations a direct connection between control panel and router is preferable; to accommodate this method of operation the same Cortex Control Panels can be directly connected to a SynCross system SynCross routers have many advantages compared to the many compact routers already available on the broadcast market. Why is SynCross the best choice?
