Power is good — but only if you can control it. Axia’s Pathfinder family of router control tools let you customize and command your entire Axia network. Using your choice of graphical software or networked appliance, you can easily build extremely sophisticated routing functions like automated events, custom on-screen control panels — even change the entire network on a timed schedule if you like. Pathfinder can even give you peace of mind, by sensing silence on critical paths and patching around it automatically — then sending you an e-mail to let you know what happened. And that’s just the start. Pathfinder can keep automatic logs of your studio network’s routing operations — route changes, GPIO changes, user button presses, and more. Create sophisticated routing “scenes” with Boolean logic that automatically watch for and react to specified events, using a unique graphical editor that eliminates tedious script writing. Pathfinder Panel Designer even lets you construct custom on-screen controls that can be deployed on PCs across your network. Or, map custom features to rack-mounted button panels and user keys mounted right in the console.

In today’s broadcast environment, information is key. So Pathfinder allows you to keep logs of your studio network’s routing operations — route changes, GPIO changes, user button presses, and much, much more.

You want to design that perfect automated system? Pathfinder gives you the tools. Pathfinder Stack Events allow you to design logic as simple (or sophisticated) as you need. An enhanced, graphical editor eliminates tedious script writing, allowing you to create sophisticated routing “scenes” with Boolean logic that automatically watch for and react to specified events.

Pathfinder’s Panel Designer applet lets you construct custom on-screen controls that can be deployed on PCs across your network. Or, map your custom designed features to rack-mounted button panels and user keys mounted right in the console. Some of these buttons can even dynamically change color and text to display status and engage actions.

There are two different Pathfinder software offerings tailored to your specific needs. Read on to find out which is right for you.

PathfinderPC Software

Designed for automated routing in small to medium-sized facilities, PathfinderPC gives you networked control of up to 25 Axia devices. This full-featured system runs on Windows PCs and allows you to construct and execute route or scene changes based on scheduled events, GPIO closures or Silence Detect trigger events. Using the client application, you can log in and change routing from anywhere you have network or Internet access. Use PathfinderPC to attach events to Axia SmartSwitch, SoftSwitch and Film-Cap button panels, or construct on-screen “virtual” controls that can run simultaneously on up to 10 PCs.

PathfinderPRO Software

PathfinderPRO, the enterprise version of Pathfinder, contains all of the features found in PathfinderPC plus additional capabilities tailored to facilities with large physical plants or complex operational requirements. PathfinderPRO supports server “clustering” – running simultaneously on two connected, yet independent computers – for the ultimate in redundancy and security.

PathfinderPRO catalogs all of your Axia devices and supports as many end-user connections as your CPU can handle. PathfinderPRO can directly control console VMix virtual mixers, motorized faders on consoles so equipped, Show Profile changes, and more.

But PathfinderPRO doesn’t stop at just controlling your Axia equipment. Complete delivery system integration is at your fingertips with Sine Systems ACU-1, Pro-Bel, SA Port Router and generic protocol emulators, plus support for routing and translating of serial, TCP and UDP ports. Snap-in real-time metering and Web browser controls provide added options for user-designed software panels. Browser controls even support multimedia audio and video, allowing embedded A/V streaming displays in software mini-panels.

1. Telecom-grade dual, redundant, auto-switching power supplies are engineered for bulletproof reliability.

2. Power supplies are unitized for quick replacement in the field. Just slide out the old, slide in the new.

3. Separate WAN jack provides a secure, separate connection to the outside world – make routing changes from home, office or on the road.

4. Pathfinder Core PRO controls your complete Axia routing network with one simple CAT-5 connection.

5. Your rack has enough noisy stuff in it. Pathfinder Core PRO isn’t. Fanless convection cooling means whisper-quite operation.

PC-Free 

The Axia Pathfinder Core PRO appliance is ideal for stations that want reliable, redundant, systemwide routing control that is independent of a PC/Windows Server. The Linux-based network-attached appliance for routing control includes a web user interface to provide route control and customize logic events. Because it uses a web interface, Pathfinder Core PRO becomes PC-platform-independent; users can use almost any personal computing device to interface with the appliance for reliable, 24/7 unattended operation. In addition, the traditional client applications our users have come to know and love also work with Pathfinder Core PRO.

Logic Flows 

Pathfinder Core PRO features Logic Flows, an all-new events system that uses logic gates for the creation of complex logic and dramatically simplifies route changes. The Logic Flows event system features a graphical flow-chart style that allows you to see the connections and manipulate them easier, as well as see state changes in real time via the web interface. For example, if an endpoint changes, you will see those changes live via a color and/or textual change on the Logic Flow graphic. Logic Flows are intelligent enough to sense the connections between different flows and present those connections graphically with a much larger array of properties that are available for use. Finally, we have added the ability to clone entire groups of object settings with one simple flow, which becomes invaluable when creating redundant logical paths. These are dramatic improvements over previous versions.

Device Emulators Control Protocol for Third-Party Integration

Because there are a variety of automation systems that don’t understand the Axia language, Pathfinder Core PRO Device Emulators allow the unit to “look like” another protocol, emulating third-party protocols and translating them into the Axia language. When Pathfinder Core PRO receives commands in a non-Axia protocol language, it then makes the requested changes to the Axia equipment, emulating a different kind of device by speaking that language. Additionally the Device Emulators allow the user to define their own commands to send and receive, so Pathfinder Core PRO can be used to control and receive commands from third-party equipment in that way as well. The user simply has to define the textual commands to watch for or send in the Device Emulator.

Easy Setup 

Pathfinder Core PRO is fast, efficient, and simple to use: Just attach to your network, give it an IP address, and it automatically detects your Axia audio sources/destinations and GPIO ports. Pathfinder Core PRO searches for and finds all of the Axia equipment on the network, then automatically creates both an audio router and a GPIO router with all of the audio or GPIO sources and destinations that are discovered within that equipment, simplifying the initial configuration.

Redundancy for Failsafe Operation

Pathfinder Core PRO also gives you peace of mind by providing distributed redundancy within your network. Multiple Pathfinder Core PRO units can be “clustered” for automatic redundant backup, and each fan-free unit has field-replaceable dual-redundant power supplies as well. As a dedicated hardware appliance, Pathfinder Core PRO gives you freedom from concerns about software compatibility, automatic OS patches, and computer hardware limitations.

Customizable User Panels

In addition to advanced routing control, Pathfinder Core PRO lets users create their own user panels, giving them a unique and customized look and design for features like meters and buttons.

Virtual Routing

Aside from routing physical inputs and outputs, Pathfinder Core PRO lets you create virtual routers. For example, if a specific room in a facility doesn’t need to see the entire network of inputs and outputs, but only the ones relevant to that room, then a Pathfinder administrator can create a virtual router that only includes the sources and destinations required by that room. In addition, virtual routers can be used to marry multiple sources and destinations together into routable packages. For example, you can create a virtual source that has both an actual audio source and an actual GPIO source as part of its package. Then when you create a route with the virtual router, the audio and GPIO get routed together with one route change.

Memory Slots

Memory Slots allow you to store—and make changes based on—custom pieces of information. Memory Slots have been expanded in Pathfinder Core PRO to provide easy latching capability of any property in the system, to follow the state of any property in the system, and to build custom text by combining values from multiple slots together. This makes the use of Memory Slots more powerful than ever.

500 Crosspoints, 500 Logic Rules

With Pathfinder Core PRO, you get 500 sources and 500 endpoint change blocks (within Logic Flows). Need more? You can simply buy an extension license to add more logic or more crosspoints. Note: There are a variety of crosspoints that don’t count against the license, including GPIO and virtual-only ones. Only Axia audio sources count against the crosspoint license.

Axia control panels let you place routing power anywhere — in a studio turret, a TOC control panel or an equipment rack. These accessory control panels work with Axia’s PathfinderPC and PathfinderPRO routing control hardware, allowing you to map routing commands – from simple contact closures to complex logic-driven events – to any button for fast execution.

Film-cap controllers with LED-backlit keys can be illuminated with a choice of colors; keycaps are film- legendable for quick function identification. SmartSwitch panels have dynamic, backlit LCD buttons that can change color and text with user activation. And the rack-mount 8-button SoftSwitch panel has high- resolution OLED buttons that can be loaded with user-created bitmaps for instant function identification. And the XY Routing Control Panel allows convenient on-the-fly routing of networked sources from anywhere in your facility; route any source to any output of your choosing with just a couple of knob twists.

17-Button LCD SmartSwitch Panel

The 17-button SmartSwitch Router Control Panel features backlit LCD buttons with dynamic text and color to provide 1-touch remote access to often-used machine-control or software functions. Multiple pages of button assignments can be programmed and recalled with just a touch; use PathfinderPC’s Stacking Events Editor to map single commands or complex routing salvos to any button. Easy-to-use Web-based configuration pages can be accessed from any PC on the Livewire® network.

Film-Cap Switch Panels

Use these Film-Cap Router Control Panels when dynamic-text capabilities are not required; lighted aircraft-grade switches provide fast execution of router salvos, machine-control or software functions programmed using PathfinderPC Router Control software. 5-, 10- and 15-button rackmount models are perfect for use in a studio turret, TOC control panel or equipment rack. Place film labels under the clear button caps; set the LED backlights to any of 8 different colors.

OLED SoftSwitch Router Control Panel

The 8-Button OLED SoftSwitch provides high-visibility router control from any studio turret or equipment rack. Its eight bright, sharp OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) readouts can display simple text or user-supplied monochrome bitmaps, and can be seen from nearly any angle — across the table, or across the room. Use PathfinderPC to program custom routing commands you can invoke instantly with the touch of a button.

XY Router Control Panel

XY Router Control Panel lets you route any source to any destination (any-to-any routing) with the click of a button. Choose your desired audio stream, select your network output and press “Take” to route audio. Perfect for TOC program stream selection, ingest stations where a multitude of incoming feeds need routing to air, or production rooms — anywhere you need many-to-one control of networked audio streams.

The post Routing Control Panels appeared first on Technology Valuable Systems.

The Axia xSelector looks a lot like a traditional XY router control panel, but it’s much, much more. So much more, in fact, that you’ll make xSelector a staple in your TOC, production rooms, news stations — anywhere your talent needs to both create and consume networked audio streams.

xSelector lets talent select from all available audio streams on the Livewire network, and route them to its local output (conveniently presented in both balanced analog and AES/EBU format). xSelector is easy to use: The front-panel LCD screen lists available network sources; talent uses the adjacent selector knob to browse sources and then pushes the knob to “take” the selected source, instantly routing that source to the local outputs for use with an audio workstation, a specific console input, recording device, etc.

Also on the front panel, six film-cap “radio buttons” provide instant access to frequently-used sources. There’s also a stereo ¼” TRS jack with a volume control which supplies an internally-amplified audio output directly to talent headphones, making xSelector a perfect choice for small workstation environments by eliminating the need for an external headphone amp.

Around back, you’ll find separate left and right balanced XLR and RJ-45 connections for the analog input and output, another set of XLR and RJ-45 connectors for the AES/EBU input and output, DB-15 connectors for the two GPIO machine-logic controls, and RJ-45s for the two redundant Livewire 100BASE-T Ethernet connections.

All this functionality makes xSelector the perfect choice for news booths or dubbing stations where only one active feed is required, or for intake stations that allow non-technical folks to easily move audio from external sources (like field recorders) into the Axia network.
