NUCLEUS™

Device Navigation/Menuing
NUCLEUS allows users to directly select devices for control purposes in one of three ways:

• Direct device selection: link a device directly to a programmable LCD button
• Category/index device selection: for larger networks, divide devices into logical, intuitive user categories to speed up access to a specific device
• Numeric index device selection: assign a device a numeric index, and use the numeric keypad to select the specific device

Virtual Devices
Create virtual devices by linking up to five individual devices together under a common name. Combine separate audio, video and conversion devices together to speed up user access to logically associated functions. Virtual devices may contain products with different IP addresses.

Device Control
NUCLEUS control is centered on a full-color display. It provides four knobs for immediate access to continuously variable controls. NUCLEUS also provides four soft keys, as well as assignable LCD keys for immediate access to additional device parameters. All parameters are immediately active as soon as they are displayed. In addition to making use of the Harris® CCS™ Protocol, NUCLEUS also has the unique ability to use industry-standard SNMP (simple network management protocol) to assign parameters directly from a third-party product MIB (management information base). This gives NUCLEUS the unparalleled capability to control any device within a broadcast network while sav-ing cost and reducing complexity.

Operator-Assigned Presets
Users can store device settings as presets and assign them to any of eight separate buttons. Each device can have up to eight presets. Presets can be recalled by pressing the button.

Operator-Assigned Unity
In some cases, users may need to quickly restore device parameter settings back to a known zero state. NUCLEUS permits the user to assign a Unity setting for each device. To invoke Unity, one of the LCD programmable buttons must be configured to permit this capability. This is set up with the panel configuration wizard.

Routing Switchers
NUCLEUS allows users to gain access to routers of any size. NUCLEUS has been optimized for large router operation.

Customized Destination/Source Selection
NUCLEUS is configured with an advanced wizard that makes use of the router data-base. NUCLEUS operation can be customized, by means of filters, to only show neces-sary destinations and sources. Operation can be tailored to the exact needs of the user. NUCLEUS supports multiple operational modes.

Fully customizable User Interface for Router Control

• Single-bus operation
• Multi-bus operation
• X/Y operation
• Category/index selection
• Direct source selection
• Salvo butons
• Full breakaway audio control
  

Operator-Assigned Presets
Users can store multiple router destinations as a preset, a single source as a preset and/or create a custom salvo and assign them to any of eight separate buttons. Salvos created with a NUCLEUS panel are not globally accessible by all Harris routing control panels. Each routing device can have up to eight presets. Presets can be recalled by pressing the button.

IconLogo Branding
NUCLEUS allows users to control any IconLogo branding system in a live, operational environment. NUCLEUS has been customized with a specific user interface that allows operators to load logos, manipulate their transparency and position and transition logos to air.

Consistent Operator User Interface
Users can easily create a NUCLEUS configuration to enable quick and easy access to IconLogo devices. A configuration with multiple IconLogo systems can be created directly from the front panel. Furthermore, it is possible to slave multiple IconLogo systems together so that an operator can control multiple channels simultaneously. The IconLogo user interface is hard coded and cannot be modified by the user..

SNMP Engine
Users can now transfer MIBs and panel configurations for SNMP third-party devices, allowing NUCLEUS to become an all-in-one multi-device panel. This option requires CCS Navigator (Build Mode) to configure the SNMP and transfer MIBs to the panel.

USB Support
NUCLEUS supports a USB interface. This interface allows users to copy/load panel configurations (NUCLEUS supports up to five different password-protected configurations) from one panel to another. The interface also permits presets to be saved offline to USB.

Multiviewer Support 
Through the multiviewer option, NUCLEUS is now able to support many of the multiviewer products in the Harris portfolio. Configure the multiviewer through CCS Navigator for a combination of routing and parameter control. Setup is a breeze for the QVM6800+ and the Predator II-GX™ multiviewers ─ users can add IP addresses locally on the panel with no custom setup or configuration!
