Requirements for a Multi-Format, Expandable, Advanced Hybrid Processing Router System for TV Marti Broadcast Operations All items listed below must be Snell Group Products or Equivalent.

The following items must possess the following salient characteristics:

A router mainframe chassis with:

· 288 x 288 video capability

· 140 additional multi-viewer output capability

· 15RU or less chassis size

· Formats Supported: 3Gbps, HD, SD-SDI, DVB-ASI, Telco, AES, Fiber connectivity, MADI.

· An Embedded Diagnostic PC with touchscreen on outer chassis door for comprehensive status indication and control. The touchscreen interface allows for easy access to a range of status screens that show router status, and allow emergency control and Catsii setup. Catsii technology allows for monitoring of signal format on every video input and output, easily identified by color coded connector illumination. Individual connectors can be clearly identified when selected from the front panel control. Signal format on every video input and output can be easily identified by color coded connector illumination.

And must have the following Features available:

· Redundant crosspoints, Redundant control card. Redundant power supply.

· Front loading hot swappable modules.

· Embedding – both source and destination, de-embedding, frame sync and audio delay capability and expandability on a modular license basis.

· Dolby E transparent (embedded and AES as applicable), Dolby E switching compliant. integrated audio processing

· Multi-viewer capability on its own crosspoint without affecting the ability to add a redundant crosspoint for the main router core.

· Video clean switching.

· Number of video references available: 4.

· Multi-Format routing and processing in a single chassis, with processing available on every input and output.

· All input module positions can be fitted with standard video modules which pass video with embedded audio transparently. Alternatively, video AHP modules can process and de-embed audio from a video signal. Or AES or MADI input modules can be fitted, to route any discrete audio signals present.

· Advanced Hybrid Processing with every single channel handled independently, allowing for all signals to have completely different formats, timing and synchronization. Can swap embedded tracks within a video signal, adjust audio gain, invert the audio, mix audio channels, delay audio channels.

· All audio can be routed to any output, with no limitations.

· Input Embedding, which allows any incoming audio channel (embedded, AES or MADI) to be routed via the audio crosspoint, and embedded onto any incoming video signal.

· User specification of Fiber or Coax I/O.

· Video outputs can be fitted with line synchronizers, to allow clean switching of the signal.

· Unsynchronized commentary from an AES input can also be embedded into the same video output.

· Signal level gains can be adjusted.

· A mono version of a stereo signal can be created (e.g. for IP streaming) and embedded on any channel as required.
