Configuration

The EMR allows any mix of formats within a frame. The inputs and outputs are scalable in blocks of 32. A system consists of the input stage, the crosspoint, and the output stage. Each input and output device is connected to the crosspoint through a proprietary X-Link connection. The use of this connection is what provides the flexibility for the system to scale and evolve with changing needs.

Scalability
The EMR can be scaled well beyond a single frame. A single crosspoint module can support up to nine input modules and nine output modules, allowing a system to scale to 288 x 288 video signals.

Redundancy

Each input and output card in the EMR contains multiple X-Link interfaces that allow connections to multiple crosspoints. Each input card provides two X-Link outputs that can be used for redundant connections, and each output card provides two X-Link inputs that can be setup to automatically failover if the primary connection fails. The redundancy structure of the EMR minimizes the chances of any failure to the system.

Control
Control of the EMR is via the SC-2000 system controller. The SC-2000 provides a unified interface for the EMR so that it can function as a standalone system and be controlled using a wide range of control panels and interfaces. When combined with MAGNUM, the EMR can utilize further enhancements in configuration and control. The EMR also provides a SNMP interface to control various configuration options.

Comprehensive Monitoring
When combined with MVPX and VIPX multi-viewers, the EMR provides an abundant of options to monitor the integrity of video signals. Each crosspoint module contains nine X-Link outputs that are available to feed video signals.
