Imagine Communications Platinum IP3

This device is a rack-sized expandable matrix. The Platinum IP3 provides matrix expandability beyond 8x8 to 576x1024 in a single 28RU frame, with very flexible configuration in terms of input, output and control modules. The system can be composed of up to six frames with a final matrix size of 1152x3072. Each IP3 frame can accommodate up to 576 inputs across 64 modular input slots, and 1024 wideband outputs distributed across 65 output slots.

About

This is a dual SNMP/smart-serial connector. For the smart-serial connection, a proprietary Imagine Communications protocol is used, called LRC. This connector uses the same serial logic base as the Imagine Communications Platinum Router connector.

SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
  • Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device, by default public.
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device, by default private.

Serial LRC Connection

This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SERIAL CONNECTION

  • Interface connection:

    • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device.
    • IP port: The IP port of the device. Required. By default: 52116.
    • Bus address: The bus address of the device. Required. By default 1; range: from 0 to 16.

Usage

Matrix

This page contains the graphical representation of the matrix.

Resource Controller

This page displays the general information provided by the resource controller as well as the routing control of the matrix itself. The routing control uses the LRC protocol instead of SNMP operations.

576x1024 Matrix

This page contains the parameters required for the monitoring of the redundant matrices inside the IP3 shelf.

Outputs

This page contains a table with all the outputs, with their description and the input they are connected to, as well as the description of the input.

Layouts

On this page, you can add layouts to the table, which will then be available in the Monitors table. The page allows you to delete everything or only the layouts that are not used.

You can also import a CSV file to populate the table.

Virtual Monitors

This page contains a table where you can add multiviewer monitors, and specify their group, layout, source, IP and port.

In the table, you can also set the UMD of the monitor.

A page button on this page allows access to the IP table, which lists all IPs of the multiviewers that you can add, with their description.
