INTRODUCTION The human synapse is an important junction that interfaces different nerves of the human brain. Similarly AXON’s Synapse integrates different modules into one powerful expandable media system. Synapse is not merely another modular system, but an entirely new range, featuring a unique infrastructure and innovative control interface. It is an intuitive, easy-to-use system that can be used for powerful applications. It not only satisfies the requirements of current technology, but will also accommodate developments far into the future. Indeed, the Synapse system has proven to be ‘future proof’. Cooling Considerable effort was put into the mechanical design of this high-density frame. AXON has managed to combine many functions into a confined area without running into temperature or power issues. The SFR18 is built around a ‘sandwich’ construction. Two powerful fan units placed in a tunnel, which runs across the top and rear of the frame, ensure a reliable and evenly spread airflow over all 18 cards. The airflow intake is on the front of the frame with outlets at either side. The fan units can be replaced while the Synapse SFR18 is operational. They are easily removed via the top of the frame. Cooling The SFR04 has its air intake on the right side and outlets for the warm air on the left side of the chassis. The removable power-supply of the SFR04 also houses the fan unit for easy maintenance. Connector Panel The intelligent cooling topology saves space and enables the use of 9 BNC connectors on a standard AXON connector panel (BPL01). Where other systems have blind spaces or ventilation holes, Synapse is able to place physical connections. The use of 3-pole screw terminals allows easy connection without the need for breakout cables. Sub-D connectors are also supported. The use of multiple re-clocked outputs facilitates efficient system planning and cost savings. All Synapse cards use a single frame slot. This means no double-width rear connectors and always 18 (4) cards in a Synapse frame. SFR18 The main frame is the SFR18, a 4RU frame that can contain up to 18 cards. Either 1 or 2 power supplies, auto-ranging from 100V to 240V AC, can be used. SFR04 The second frame is the SFR04, a 1RU frame that can house 4 cards and a single PSU. SCP08 The SCP08 is a stand-alone Synapse control panel that operates with the TCP/IP protocol (Ethernet) and can control 8 different parameters on one screen or more (a maximum of 18 screens). This means that the total amount of controllable parameters/ status information is no less than 144. With the accompanying set-up program, based on Windows®, all settings and status monitoring can be specified. The panel has software to select/browse all desired parameters of all the cards in all the Synapse frames that are connected. Any parameter per screen can be user-defined, in complete freedom. In other words, a parameter of each and every card within each networked frame can be selected.
