1. Getting Started
The Rainier Summit series is Avitech’s newest addition of multiviewers designed to meet 4K
monitoring demands. The 2RU Rainier Summit with modular design accommodates up to 24 multiple-
rate SDI/CVBS video sources on six hot-swappable multiviewer cards. Each card features both HDMI
and SDI outputs that can be independently configured to meet various display and production
requirements. Rainier Summit offers high-resolution multiview video and on-screen graphics up to 4K30
Ultra HD (UHD) clarity while managing with complete layout flexibility.
Utilizing a high-speed built-in router, Rainier Summit enables flexible routing and unlimited signal
repetition across image windows of different multiviewer cards. Through internal and external
cascading, it allows user to combine multiple cards for multiview monitoring of up to 100 sources; ideal
for building fully dynamic multiviewing systems for video production and master control.
This chapter introduces the features and specifications as well as the external components of Rainier
Summit.

2. Hardware Configuration
This chapter discusses the process of installing a card into the Rainier Summit chassis.
1. To prevent any damage to hardware components as well as avoid any injury, make sure to turn off
power coming from the power strip to Rainier Summit before making any changes to the hardware
configuration.
2. Not applicable for Rainier Summit-S.
2.1 Installing aNew Card on aBlank Slot
The Rainier Summit chassis accepts the following card:
Rainier Summit
– (SDI card)
Step 1. Remove the two screws securing the back plate.

computer’s hard drive. This chapter introduces the Phoenix-Q software for setting up the Rainier
Summit.
1. Make sure the Rainier Summit is powered on and connected properly to the computer via Ethernet
before launching the Phoenix-Q software.
2. DO NOT use the serial cable to connect the Rainier Summit to the computer. The serial port is for
connecting to a TSL controller/interface.
3.1 Connection Method
Connect the Rainier Summit to the controlling computer via an Ethernet cable.
Before connecting the computer to the Rainier Summit, the computer will need to be changed to a static
IP, and its subnet mask must be set to a similar range as the Rainier Summit (“192.168.0.5” – factory-
default IP address). Or, the IP address of the Rainier Summit can be changed to a similar range as the
controlling computer. See Appendix C for details.
3.2 Pinging the Rainier Summit
Make sure to be able to ping the chassis at “192.168.0.5” (factory-default IP address).
Step 1. Run the Phoenix-Q software by double-clicking Phoenix-Q.exe.
Step 2. Enter the factory-default IP address 192.168.0.5. Then click Ping.
