PESA, a major provider of broadcast and Pro AV distribution and router transport solutions unveiled their new Jaguar-3 64X64 high definition video router at IBC 2010.

Based on the latest 3G-SDI technology for 1080p and 3D applications, Jaguar-3's unique frame architecture allows easy adaption of future switching combinations and signal processing options. Jaguar-3, the first of many products to be featured in this frame concept, provides 64X64 high definition video routing in only 2U of space.

The Jaguar-3 video router offers a full range of features, including internal control, hot-swappable cards, network-based control, and optional redundant power and system control - all the features you expect and priced to fit the most conservative of budgets for small to mid-sized video switching environments.

PESA's Jaguar-3 switches all SMPTE and ITU standard serial digital video signals; plus it supports embedded audio and other ancillary data required for HD-SDI and DVB/ASI broadcast sources. Jaguar-3 is perfect for SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and 3G-SDI switching applications in digital cinema, telemedicine, high-end presentation rooms, satellite imaging, command centers, and simulation/visualization environments.

Although small in size (occupying on 2U space), Jaguar-3 is big on performance - supporting standard data rates from 270Mbps up to 3Gbps, and video transports up to 1080p/60. All inputs are auto-equalized; and with standard SMPTE formatted outputs, each signal is auto-sensed and re-clocked to the appropriate transport stream. Signals can be re-clocked up to 80m for 1080p/60.

For non-standard formats, re-clocking circuitry can be set to by-pass mode. Two independent reference inputs allow easy selection of gen-lock from a black burst or tri-level sync source. The compact frame design features front load / hot swappable card sets and includes space for an optional redundant power supply and controller module.

Jaguar-3 provides control ports that allow configuring the frame for a variety of control interfaces including Ethernet control, PESA's PERC2000 or 3500Pro, and PESA's new Cattrax ™ graphical user interface for on-screen diagnostics and frame management; plus it can be used with PESA's full range of new Ethernet control panels.

"Our new frame architecture for the Jaguar-3 allows 64 inputs and 64 outputs in only 2U space - which is critical for compact spaces such as OB trucks and small control room environments," stated Dan Holland, Vice President, Product Marketing for PESA.

"We are excited about the new Jaguar frame concept, since it allows us the flexibility to offer a wider range of connectivity. The Jaguar-3 64X64 coax version is the first of many new product connectivity solutions to be introduced in 2011."
