Router Control Software

Model: Axia PathfinderPC

  • Provides central routing interface for entire Axia networks.
  • Pathfinder presents all Axia nodes and equipment and as a traditional single router, so you don't need to jump from place to place to see and manipulate your facility's routing infrastructure.
  • Provides scheduling for one-time or regularly occurring routing events.
  • These events can trigger route changes and/or GPIO events, from small-scale changes to system-wide "scene changes"?.
  • Provides silence detection events with email and GPIO warnings, and automatically switches to an alternate pre-programmed route in the event of an audio failure.

Product Info

Axia's PathfinderPC and PathfinderPRO router control software for Windows are amazingly rich sets of tools you can use to customize and command your entire Axia network, allowing you to craft extremely sophisticated routing functions. Define automated switching events, construct custom software control panels, change between presets manually, on a daypart schedule, or via an external trigger. Pathfinder's advanced features include the ability to sense silence at a particular audio port and patch around it automatically -- and even send the engineer an e-mail notification. And that's just the start.

Designed for automated routing control in small to medium-sized facilities, PathfinderPC provides a central point of control, via IP, of up to 25 Axia devices in your plant. Capabilities include route or scene changes based on scheduled events, GPIO closure or Silence Detect trigger events.

PathfinderPRO is the enterprise version of PathfinderPC. It contains all features found in PathfinderPC plus additional capabilities tailored to facilities with large physical plants or complex operational requirements. PathfinderPRO Controls an unlimited number of Axia devices and supports unlimited PathfinderPC client or PathfinderPC Mini connections plus direct Pathfinder control of motorized console faders, VMix Virtual Mixers and more. Includes two server licenses for backup server or server clustering.

  • Provides silence detection events with email and GPIO warnings, and automatically switches to an alternate pre-programmed route in the event of an audio failure.
  • Includes audio presence meters in the onscreen routing matrix for instant visual audio confirmation.
  • Pathfinder Stack Events allow you to design logic as complicated or as simple as you need, using simple or complex Boolean based logic events.
  • So if you need to route a specific satellite feed to air only on Mondays, when a certain audio route exists, and the operator is holding down the blue button, you can.
  • Panel Designer allows you to drop controls into your own software routing panel, then deploy it on studio PCs for users to select routing changes, monitor silence detection, and a whole host of other functions.
  • Interfaces routing control with Axia console User Keys.
  • Map custom-designed features to buttons mounted right in the console; depending upon console equipment, these buttons can even be programmed to dynamically change color and text to display status and engage actions.
  • Built-in Protocol Translator, a part of PathfinderPRO software, allows your legacy systems to think they are talking to a router they understand -- while behind the scenes, it's really Axia.
  • Currently supported third party protocols include Pro-Bel General Router and General Switcher Protocols, Sine Systems ACU-1 Protocol and more.
  • Clustering support with Pathfinder PRO allows deployment of multiple PathfinderPRO servers which automatically monitor each other for backup and redundancy.
  • If the primary server is unavailable, the clustered backup takes over, and all the client screens in the studios follow.
  • Comprehensive logging capabilities include every route change, GPIO change, user button press, and more.
  • Logging for each of these features may be enabled or disabled individually
