Snell continues to lead the way in signal routing with the launch of its innovative Sirius 800 Series - a new large-scale, multi-format, expandable router range. Incorporating many technological firsts, the 800 Series compliments Snell's popular Pyxis, Sirius and Cygnus routers, which also offer multi-format operation up to 3Gbit/s.
The 800 Series consists of a range of different frames and card configurations based on a common card format. These are based on a 576 x 576 matrix size, incorporated into an expandable frame. Fast, simple field expandability up to 1152 x 1152 is achieved by purely linking two frames together via multi-way cables. No other external splitters or combiners are required and the system can even be expanded whilst in use. By adding a third frame routers in excess of 1152 x 1152 can be created.
Features
- 576 x 576 expandable frame, with up to 96 multiviewer outputs in 34U (plus external PSU chassis). Field expandable to 1152 x 1152 by addition of a second frame
- 576 x 1152 with full crosspoint redundancy and 96 additional multiviewer outputs in 34U plus PSUs
- Redundant video and audio crosspoints
- Mix and match different signal formats in the same frame:
Coax - 3Gbit & 1.5Gbit HD, SD, ASI
Fiber - 3Gbit & 1.5Gbit HD, SD, ASI
Audio - AES & Madi, - Embedded audio routing
- Optional 3Gbit, 1.5Gbit and SD Fibre I/O with CWDM wavelength transmitters and wideband receivers
- Dual redundant controllers & PSUs
- Catsii status indication and connector location
- Four independent outputs for input and output monitoring
- Extensive status reporting of input/output status and crosspoint health via Morpheus Control & Monitoring
