HEADROOM Broadcast

The HSM-X is HEADROOM Broadcast’s modular system for redundancy and conversion of audio, video, telecom and network signals.

Offering a broad choice of modules, redundant power supplies and today’s management interfaces (SNMP/HTTP) it gives you an excellent solution for signal back-up or conversion. Build the redundancy and conversion layer in your infrastructure to your needs with less work on the umbrella management system than with the usual manufacturer mix.

• All modules work independently. The system controller SMI-X cannot block the functions of switch modules.
• Backup switches provide a power-down bypass based on high quality relays. In case of total supply loss the actual signal path is maintained – no “Single-Point-of-Failure”.
• Only front access: module swap and signal connection, back to back rack mounting possible

• Splitters provide a power-down bypass based on high-quality relays. In case of total supply loss the input signal is routed to output no. 1 – no “Single-Point-of-Failure”.
• Signal detection with the usual loss of signal and also specific signal dependent criteria
• PLL-reclocker and signal recovery on the active path thru the module
• Passive cooling, no fan monitoring and maintenance needed

HSM-X module highlights:

• optical backup switches for 3G/HD/SD-SDI [OVS-X], MADI [OSMADI-X] or STM1
  
• 8x AES3 over one fiber; transparent and clock independent [OTX/ORX8A-X]
• Ethernet redundancy switch with relay protection [FES-X]
