Saving rack space, weight and power

NVISION routers offer excellent space and power efficiency, and especially the NVISION 8500 Hybrid routers with integrated embedded audio processing. By integrating 16 channel audio de-embedding, shuffling, re-embedding and breakaway within a router frame, a facility’s signal management can be radically more space and power efficient. Indeed, a single router can now replace multiple racks of earlier generation routing and audio processing devices.

Minimising costs with Dynamic Hybrid Pathfinding

By combining routing and audio processing functions within a single router frame, there are also considerable savings in capital costs. These savings are maximized by the use of Dynamic Hybrid Pathfinding, which allows a router to perform audio processing across all video inputs, with just a small portion of its matrix equipped with input, crosspoint and output cards capable of audio processing. The Dynamic Hybrid Pathfinding process automatically routes signals via the audio processing modules whenever required, either by manual or automated control.

Reducing the complexity of infrastructures

By integrating routing and audio processing functions, NVISION routers can simplify signal management with a unified control system and fewer control panels. This promotes more effective workflows, and reduces the potential for operator errors.

NVISION router infrastructures are also simplified with elegant cable management, using high density cable connectors and audio concentrators to minimize cabling and associated labor.

Ultimate resilience

Exceptional robustness is at the heart of all NVISION routers. For the most mission critical applications, the NVISION Enterprise Class routers offer the ultimate level of resilience with full power supply, controller, and crosspoint redundancy. Additionally, all the frame modules are hot-swappable and feature small failure blocks, creating ‘bullet-proof’ reliability and serviceability.

Outstanding signal quality and fiber integration

NVISION routers feature unique, clean designs for unparalleled signal integrity. This provides lower return losses, and allows the use of longer coaxial cables than the industry norm. For long distance runs, the NVISION range offers direct fiber connectivity, using either SFP modules for 1310 nm or CWDM wavelengths.

Unprecedented, facility wide integration

NVISION routing systems provide exceptional integration across a facility, including with multi-viewers, signal processors, master control switchers and production switchers. This streamlines facility hardware and lowers costs, and can also deliver enhanced operator productivity from improved control systems.

Easier transition to 3Gbps from legacy routing

NVISION router control systems offer highly effective bridging with legacy third party routers and their control systems for an easier transition to 3Gbps/HD. A phased move to 3Gbps/HD can be made, with minimal disruption and cost, by first controlling a NVISION 3Gbps/HD router with an existing third party controller. Subsequently, the facility can move to a more advanced NVISION control system.
