Crystal Vision Introduction
Smart Switch 3G User Manual R1.10 301/09/2016
1 Introduction
The Smart Switch 3G is a HD/SD 2 x 2 intelligent switch that incorporates sophisticated
monitoring of the two video inputs which can include embedded audio. As well as
automatically switching between two sources Smart Switch 3G can also be controlled
manually.
The auto switch function relies on an error priority rating to control the switch function. This
gives the Smart Switch 3G the ability to appraise both sources and make its switching decision
on the error rating attributed to both sources. This means that the Smart Switch 3G will not
switch away from the primary source if it detects that the standby source contains an error
with ahigher priorityrating than the error detected on theprimary source.
Once a switch has occurred the option is then available to either reselect the primary source on
removal of the error, delay before reselecting the primary source or latch in the switched state
until reset manually.
Smart Switch 3G can monitor 20 parameters on both the primary and standby inputs. These 20
parameters are listed in order of priority from input missing to input frozen and channel 3-4
audio silent. Any of these parameters can be selected to create an alarm as well as perform a
switch, although an auto switch can only occur away from the highest priority error.
The Smart Switch 3G card can be controlled by Statesman PC control software, active control
panel such as the REMIND-E, or from its card edge controls. The main features of Smart
Switch 3G are:
Intelligent 2 x 2 switch which works with 3Gb/s, HD and SD
Three reclocked outputs, two output 1s and one output 2. Output 1 with relay bypass
Numerous switching options: input present, video black, video frozen, audio group
present, audio silence and various EDH errors
Board-edge, Statesman and GPI alarm indication
Space-saving: 100mm x 266mm module allowing 12 Smart Switch 3G in 2U
SNMP agent giving status and trap generation with suitable frame

Crystal Vision Introduction
Smart Switch 3G User Manual R1.10 401/09/2016
Smart Switch 3G will take its timing information from the best of both inputs to determine the
correct time to do a switch. If an input is absent the ability to manually control the input
routing is disabled (unless the input missing test is overridden). How clean the switch is will
depend on several factors such as if the standbysignal is synchronous with the main
programme or if the detected fault does not cause a disruption to the timing information such
as audio silence or video black. Loss of input will cause a complete loss of timing information
and will result in an immediate crash switch and will be likely to result in a brief picture
disturbance.
The Smart Switch 3G fits in Crystal Vision’s four standard frames and can be integrated with
any boards from the company’s full product range. The RM53 and RM54 are the frame rear
modules which in addition to the two SDI inputs main and standby, give a switched output, a
fixed output and a user-selectable output that can show either inputs or a further main output.
The RM54 also has relay bypass between its input 1 and output 1 which will automatically
connect the programme on input 1 to the output in the unlikely event of a frame failure or
should the Smart Switch 3G be removed for service.
Applications include immediate reaction to and indication of signal or transmission problems
in large systems, especially in unmanned automatic playout facilities or as a simple signal
probe.

2Hardware installation
The Smart Switch 3G single height module is used with the RM53 and RM54 rear connectors,
which will fit into all Crystal Vision rack frames. All modules can be connected or removed
while the frame is powered, without damaging the board.
2.1 Module configuration
Smart Switch 3G
Link configuration and LEDs
There are 13 jumper links and three surface-mounted LEDs on the Smart Switch 3G. The
surface-mounted LEDs are not visible from the front of the frame and are included for
diagnostic purposes only.

2.2 Rear modules and signal I/O
The 4U Indigo 4 frame will house up to 24 single height modules with up to three power
supplies. The 2U Indigo 2 frame will house up to 12 single height modules and dual power
supplies. The 1U Indigo 1 frame will house six single height modules with either single or
dual power supplies. The Indigo DT desk top box has a built-in power supply and will house
up to two single height modules.
The two appropriate rear modules for the Smart Switch 3G are the RM53 and RM54. Both
rear modules share the same connections. The RM54 has the added benefit of relay bypass
between input 1 and output 1.
Note:
For details of fitting rear connectors please refer to the appropriate frame manual.

2.3 General Purpose Interface (GPI)
Each frame slot has up to six connections 'a-f' for GPI control and monitoring. These
connections are available at the rear of the frame on the 26-way D-Type remote connectors.
GPI Low (<1V) High (+5V) Notes
1 ‘a’ See configuration table Held low for tally
2 ‘b’ Held low for tally
3 ‘c’ See configuration table Held low for tally
4 ‘d’ Held low for tally
5 ‘e’ Alarm condition Non-alarm See alarm table
6 ‘f’ See alarm table
As supplied, each GPI output has a 270Ω resistor in series with its output. This allows for an
external LED to be driven, connected to a DC voltage of +5V.
The GPI inputs can be used to control input selection/routing and are configurable for either
pulse or level trigged. They can also be used to give a tally of the selection/routing. When GPI
control is selected to ‘level’ GPI = High (floating) selects Input 1 and GPI = Low (pulled to
ground) selects Input 2.
The following GPI modes can be selected using Statesman, active front panel or board edge
control:

"force" mode so that GPI 'a' & 'b' switch to other input, even if a
fault condition exists. No GPI control or Tally for Output 2
Unless "force" mode is enabled, a GPI input switch will not occur if the input being switched
to contains more significant error conditions than the current input. GPI 5 and 6 can be
configured to show an alarm condition for anyindividual or group of error conditions. Certain
reportable errors such as input missing will result in an immediate indication, whereas other
lesser conditions must be present continuously for a period of time set by the user before an
alarm is asserted. Where a group alarm has more than one preset time delay, an alarm will be
asserted after the longest delay setting.

Switch controls
Both outputs 1 and 2 can be routed individually to connect to either input 1 or input 2. Should
an error occur on one of the outputs associated input, the output can be selected to route away
from the faultyinput to theremaining good input. The monitored error conditions are found in
the Alarm menu.
Switching mode
The switching modes available are Frame, Field or Immediate. These switching modes are
effective with either a manual switch or automatic switch. In Immediate mode the Smart
Switch 3G will act immediately but this untimed ‘crash’ switch is likely to cause a picture
disturbance. Selecting either Field or Frame under non-catastrophic error conditions will allow
the Smart Switch 3G to switch away in a tidier manner, assuming that the two inputs are co-
timed.
Switch back
Once a switch has taken place automatic switch back will be controlled by the switch back
control. Immediate mode will allow the switch to return once the error has disappeared for a
minimum of one frame. In certain circumstances this could result in the output flip-flopping
between the two inputs erratically. To avoid this, the switching action can be either delayed or
latched.
GPI configuration
The GPI inputs can be used to control input selection/routing and are configurable for either
edge or level trigged. They can also be used to give a tally of the selection/routing. When GPI
control is selected to ‘level’, GPI = High (floating) selects Input 1 and GPI = Low (pulled to
ground) selects Input 2.
See page 7 for information on the GPI modes which can be selected.
