Kramer Electronics is showing its Sierra Video Systems‘ Sierra Pro XL routing switchers with wideband video and analog stereo, at NAB in booth #SL6105.

Sierra Pro XL routing switchers feature 450MHz bandwidth with exceptionally flat response and IP connectivity for control via a standard TCP/IP socket connection. Sierra Pro XL products retain the advanced features offered in the original Sierra Pro family including Matrix Mapping and Room Grouping.

The new Sierra Pro XL routing switcher family offers 5-channel video measuring 450MHz @ -3dB in matrix sizes from 8×4 to 32×32. Each frame can be ordered as a 5-channel (RGBHV), 4-channel (RGBS), 3-channel (RGB/YUV) or 2-channel s-Video(Y/C) system with custom, video-only configurations also available. Balanced or unbalanced analog stereo audio is available in the same frame for 8×4 to 16×16 configurations and in a companion frame for larger models. The new IP/Ethernet connectivity feature allows for control of the routing switcher on a Mac or PC using a standard TCP/IP socket connection with the ability to simultaneously connect up to six devices to the routing switcher.

Key features from the legacy Sierra Pro line are available with Sierra Pro XL routing switchers: Matrix Mapping™ Universal Breakaway Switching allows every level of every input of the routing switcher to be switched independently, while Room Grouping provides the ability to group several inputs and operate them independently of other input groups on the routing switcher. The Sierra Pro XL routing switcher family offers compatibility with Sierra Video Systems‘ full line of advanced, programmable SCP control panels, and has built-in RS-232/RS-422 control. Sierra Video Systems‘ Qwik Adjust Knob™ Rotary Control Interface with LCD display is a standard feature on every model in the Sierra Pro XL family.
