Specialty Routing

Specialty Routing in NEO™ Advanced Applications Platform

The NEO™ NSM switches can be connected into a Leitch XY router control network. This provides intuitive
control by means of any push-button XY control panel. All modules in the NEO™ family can be controlled
locally by means of an intuitive card-edge interface, or remotely using hardware control panels and/or
CCS™ software applications such as CCS Pilot™ or CCS Navigator.™

NEO™ NSM-8X1SHD, NSM-7X2SHD — HDTV/SDI Switchers

The NSM-8x1SHD and NSM-7x2SHD are two distinct and separate digital video routing
switchers that switch both SDI and HDTV signals. The NSM-8x1SHD operates either as an 8x1
switch or as an 8x1 with auto-sensing input signal selection capabilities. When in the 8x1
auto-switch-over mode, this module will automatically switch to a user-selected backup
channel if the signal is lost on the primary path. The NSM-7x2SHD is configured to operate
as a 7x2 routing switcher.

NEO™ NSM-8X1V, NSM-7X2V — Video Switchers

The NSM-8x1V and NSM-7x2V are two distinct, separate routing switchers that switch
analog video signals. The NSM-8x1V can be user-configured to operate as an 8x1 switch or
as an 8x1 with auto-sensing input signal selection capabilities. When in the 8x1 auto-switch-
over mode, this module will automatically switch to a user-selected backup channel if the
signal is lost on the primary data path. The NSM-7x2V is configured to operate as a 7x2
routing switcher. Both switches provide ±3 dB gain to correct signal level.

NEO™ NSM-8X1AES, NSM-7X2AES — AES Switchers

The NSM-8x1AES and NSM-7x2AES are two distinct, separate routing switchers that switch
digital audio signals (both balanced and unbalanced versions available). The NSM-8x1AES can
be user-configured to operate as an 8x1 switch or as an 8x1 with auto-sensing input signal
selection capabilities. When in the 8x1 auto-switch-over mode, this module will automatically
switch to a user-selected backup channel if the signal is lost on the primary data path. The
NSM-7x2AES is configured to operate as a 7x2 routing switcher.

NSM-8X1A2 — Analog Audio Switchers

The NSM-8x1A2 is an analog stereo audio routing switcher that provides selectable matrix
sizes with auto-switch capabilities. Matrix sizes that can be configured are single stereo 8x2,
single mono 16x4, stereo 8x1 with dual outputs, quad mono 4x1 (married) or quad mono
4x1 (breakaway). The switch may be ordered with 66-ohms or 600-ohms outputs.

RS12A — 12x1 Video/Stereo Audio Switcher

The RS-12A 12x1 routing switcher is designed for the switching of analog video and stereo
audio signals. Stringent specifications assure minimal loss or degradation of input signals. A
remote control panel (RSP-12) can be used with either the RS-12A or the RS-12AL. Serial
interface, as well as contact closure control, is standard with all units. All switchers in the series
have audio follow video with breakaway for independent switching of audio or video signals.
