Sierra Video ASPEN-1616UX 16×16 12G SDI Matrix Switcher

Description

ASPEN-1616UX is a 16×16 matrix switcher for SDI signals of up to 12G. It equalizes the input signal and reclocks the output signal to gain extended-reach signal extension. ASPEN-1616UX is easy to operate and control through the network using the intuitive web pages and through RS-232 using a serial controller.

Features:

• High-Performance Matrix Switcher – Switches 16 12G SDI inputs to 16 12G SDI outputs with a maximum resolution of 4K@60Hz (4:2:2). Features Kramer Equalization & reKlocking™ Technology that rebuilds the digital signal to travel longer distances.
• HDTV Compatible.
• SDI Multi Rate Signals – Auto-adapts from 270Mbps to 12Gbps data rates, accepts SDI, HD-SDI, 3G HD-SDI, 6G and 12G SDI compliant input signals with video resolution of up to 4K@60Hz (4:2:2) 30bpp. Complying with SMPTE 259M (SD-SDI), 292M (HD-SDI), 344M (ED-SDI), 424M (3G HD-SDI), ST-2081 (6G-SDI) and ST-2082 (12G-SDI) standards, it supports pass-through of standard embedded audio channels with ancillary ID and metadata information.
• Extended-Reach Input Extension – Input signal equalization and output signals reclocking to gain extended-reach signal extension. Using high-quality coaxial SDI cables, supports extension of up to 300m (984ft) for SD signals; 200m (656ft) for 1.5G HD signals; 100m (328ft) for 3G and 6G HD signals; 80m (260ft) for 12G 4K signals. Note: Reach depends on signal resolution, and quality of copper cable used. Reach extension performance may vary while using coaxial cables that are not high-quality.
• Genlock Clean Switching and Versatility – Clean switching when the sources are genlocked to the selected genlock input with a difference of no more than two lines of video. Versatile Genlocking using an analog signal.
• Convenient and Comprehensive Control – Control the unit using intuitive embedded web pages via the Ethernet or Protocol 3000 API commands via RS-232 serial communication transmitted by a PC, touch screen system or other serial controller. Stores 8 multiple switches as presets to be recalled and executed when needed. Upgrade firmware via the embedded webpages.
• Compact and Easy to Install – 19” wide and only 4″ deep enclosure for rack mounting a unit in a 1U rack space with included rack ears.
