X-0401H, X-0401H-AES4, X-0401H-AES4-HSS & X-0401H-AES4-HES
4x1 HDTV Router With Quad 4x1 AES Audio
The X-0401H HDTV four input routing switcher provides a convenient, low cost way to route high definition and standard definition serial digital signals. The X-0401H routers are used for 1.5Gb/s, 270Mb/s, 360Mb/s, 540Mb/s and DVB-ASI serial digital signals. The unit can also be used for SMPTE 310M(19.4Mb/s) signals with the reclocker turned off. When the unit is ordered with the Quad 4x1 AES router option the AES output busses can be used in an "audio follow video" mode, or can be broken away from the video bus. The routers features redundancy protection by providing dual power supply and bypass relay options.
The router electronics are housed in a 1RU rackmount frame and is controlled from the built-in front panel controls. Each model can also be purchased with an optional rack mount remote control panel that replaces the built-in control panel, or can be used as a second control panel. All units can also be controlled by contact closures on the GPI control port or through the RS-232 or RS-422 serial remote control port using industry standard switcher protocols.

SoftSwitch™ Features (X-0401H-AES4-HSS)
Routers equipped with SoftSwitch™ have the following additional features. The video output has adjustable vertical timing with respect to the genlock input, and line synchronizers on the video inputs can accommodate differences in timing up to approximately ±one half line providing clean video switches on the video output. All the AES outputs will have a continuous AES carrier locked to either the video genlock or DARS reference (when the DARS reference is used, Z bit alignment of the AES outputs is also guaranteed). The AES outputs use Evertz patent pending SoftSwitch™ technology to eliminate audible pops when switches are performed on synchronous audio sources.
Embedded SoftSwitch™ Features (X-0401H-AES4-HES)
Routers equipped with EmbeddedSoftSwitch™ have all the features of the SoftSwitch™ versions as well as the following additional features. The embedded audio on the Video 1 buss uses Evertz patent pending SoftSwitch™ technology to eliminate audible pops when switches are performed. Embedded SoftSwitch™ is performed on all four audio groups.
