Ocelot-3 8x8, 16x8 or 16x16 matrix switcher routes

PESA’s Ocelot modular routing switcher family offers a wide range of small matrix routers for virtually any application. Every Ocelot is built using modules with self-contained I/O connectors and matrix boards for a specific signal type and matrix size. These modules, in various quantities, are installed in a standard 1RU rack frame that supplies power and control functions to each module. Each Ocelot rack frame provides seven module slots on the rear panel. Six are available for matrix modules and the seventh is always used for a power and control module. The modular approach allows Ocelot routers to be configured in a wide variety of signal format and matrix size combinations.

Video modules are available for standard analog, wideband analog, SD-SDI digital, and SD/HD/3G-SDI signals from 143Mbps to 3Gbps. Audio modules are available for analog sources, balanced or unbalanced, configured for monaural, stereo or multi-level audio. Modules for digital AES/EBU audio are available with input impedance of either 75 Ohm or 110 Ohm. Both video and audio modules can be mixed within the same frame.

Ocelot offers a wide choice of control options as well. The internal controller supports independent levels of control, up to sixteen control panels, and a control port for RS-232/RS-422 for third party control applications. PC control is possible using PESA’s Windowsq based Virtual Panel Software. A local control panel can be attached to any Ocelot chassis frame for stand-alone operation, plus remote control panels are available allowing router control from virtually any operator position. Ocelot can also be interfaced to the PESA Router Control (PRC) protocol bus. Using PRC, any Ocelot system can be seamlessly added to other PESA routers in the facility through either the 3500PRO or PERC2000 system controller, and become an integral part of the entire system configuration.

3G-SDI 16X8 or 16X16

PESA's Ocelot 3 is a one rack unit, 16x8 or 16x16, video router that supports all SMPTE standard data rates from 143Mbps to 3Gbps with auto-equalization on all sixteen standard 75 Ohm input BNCs.

Auto-rate sensing and auto-reclocking is standard on all sixteen 75 Ohm output BNCs with full support for DVB-ASI on every path. A single, standard 75 Ohm BNC input is provided for connection of a sync reference signal from an external source.  Ocelot can accept any of the following sync sources: analog black burst or analog composite sync in NTSC or PAL formats.

The Ocelot-3 can be equipped with single or dual power supplies and is compatible with all existing Ocelot control panels and PESA control systems.
