General

The AMS-4371 is a magnetic latching 4 port changeover switcher using enhanced performance relays which provide switching capabilities for high speed data signals up to 2970 Mb/s. It is suitable for switching 3G/HD/SD-SDI video, ASI, G.703 data streams, or analogue video signals.

The AMS-4371 is arranged as a changeover switch with two inputs and two outputs. No terminations are provided on the board allowing the switcher to be used in a wide variety of applications and with signals of various types.

The magnetic latching characteristic of the high performance relays allows momentary control and also provides for no change of path during power loss.

The AMS-4371 is ideally suited to applications where a simple choice between two inputs or outputs is required and may be easily driven by detector circuits for automatic path selection.

Local switching is possible using front panel push button switches. Remote switching is possible using external normally open or normally closed alarms.

Front panel switches use a one second delay to avoid accidental switching if bumped. After a period of approximately five to six minutes, the AMS-4371 automatically switches back into remote mode.

Remote indication of tally status is provided for integration into central alarm and monitoring systems.

An optional SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) plug-in module is available for monitoring and control when used in an IRT frame fitted with SNMP capability.

The AMS-4371 is designed to fit IRT's 1RU and 4000 series 3RU Eurocard frames1 and may be used alongside any other of IRT's analogue or digital Eurocards.
