Cygnus combines a compact form factor with the latest routing technology in a cost-effective package. Cygnus is 1080p 3Gbit/s native and offers up to 576x576 routing in a single 26U housing, including PSUs. There is also a 288x576 version in a 21U housing.

Features include dual redundant power supplies and controllers as well as four reference inputs for multi-standard operation. This allows for frame accurate switching at the correct point for multi-standard operation or simulcast HD/SD. Cygnus adds significantly to Snell’s existing comprehensive router range, which covers all options from the very large to the very small.
