The Avenue system makes the transition to digital and 3 Gb/s easy for broadcast and post facilities. Avenue is an expandable, modular tray based signal integration system housed in a 1RU or 3RU frame. Avenue allows any combination of 3 Gb/s, 1.5 Gb/s HD video, SD video, analog, DVB-ASI, SMPTE 310M, and audio modules in the same frame. These proven and reliable modules include: up/downconverters, video converters, embedders, synchronizers, routers, sync pulse generators, protection switches, and more.

Using Avenue PC Software and Touch Screens, you can control and monitor every module from any location in the world. Build Avenue into your system with SNMP and other control system integration choices.

All modules are hot-swappable and because of the universal backplane, no special rear connectors are needed.

For facilities using both fiber and coax, Avenue provides a complete and simple solution. The Avenue Intersection frame is just 1RU and holds 10 optical modules. It can be used independently or tied to an Avenue 3RU frame.

Built-in networking lets you tie your Avenue system together, streamlining control and monitoring. All frames and modules in the system can be accessed from multiple locations in a facility, including remote locations via the internet. Comprehensive management and control is achieved by using any combination of Avenue Control Panels and/or Avenue PC software. Front edge or local controls are also available for each module.
