In command and control environments, it is not uncommon to require more outputs to support presentation displays, projectors and video walls. In routing switcher environments, this is where a rectangular matrix packages can provide exceptional value over traditional square matrix designs. PESA’s 64XE was designed with this in mind. In just 6RU, this frame can be configured to support up to 64x128. With one matrix card installed, each frame can support up to 64x64. By adding a second matrix card, the system can grow to a full 64x128. The 64XE frame is perfect for applications where signals need to be linked to multi-viewer or multiple destinations simultaneously. Starting with its small footprint, the 6RU frame can pack an enormous amount of features normally found in larger frame sizes. For instance, each frame supports internal redundant power and control, so no need to plan for extra rack space. The power efficient frame requires no more than 600 watts when fully loaded. The power supply, control card and matrix card are hot swappable and easily accessible from the front. Control and networking features are offered in a wide range of solutions, including Ethernet control, RS-232 and web-based control. Customized output configurations can be set up easily using PESA's 3500PRO or PERC2000 Control Software. Input and output cards are available for fiber, coax, and CWDM applications and can be mixed in groups of 16 input or output channels. Signal formats supported include DVB/ASI, SD-SDI, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, and serial data streams from 270Mbps up to 3Gbps. Additionally, signal formats for DVI, VGA, RGsB, RGBHV and YPbPr are handled with our external Vidblox transmitter and receiver modules. Other features include muxing and de-muxing cards supporting 16 HD-SDI channels over a single CWDM fiber cable and full integration of embedding and de-embedding of audio signals with 16 channel plug-in I/O card sets. With PESA’s easyPORT SFP modules fiber-cage input cards can be adapted for NTSC/PAL to SD-SDI and fiber-cage output cards can be adapted for SD-SDI to NTSC/PAL.
