Kramer Electronics today announced the availability of the Sierra Video Systems‘ Lassen XL™ analog routing switchers with increased bandwidth, and the inclusion of IP connectivity in all Lassen family routing switchers. These products are being shown at NAB in booth #SL6105.

The composite video and stereo audio Lassen XL analog routing switchers improve upon the previous models (Lassen Analog™ routing switchers) with the addition of an IP port for Ethernet connectivity and improved video boards with increased bandwidth. The Lassen HD™ and Lassen SDI™ routing switcher families are also now outfitted with an IP port for Ethernet connectivity.

The rear panels of all Lassen family routing switchers are now outfitted with RJ-45 connectors for IP communication over Ethernet, and continue to offer RS-232/422 control capability. For Lassen XL composite video routing switchers, improved XL video boards allow for increased bandwidth to 300MHz @ -3dB. Lassen XL routing switchers are available in sizes from 12×4 to 32×32 with redundant power supply optional in 32×16 and 32×32 models. All Lassen routing switchers are fully interoperable with all other Sierra Video Systems routing switchers, functioning as master or slave in the system. Like previous Lassen models, they are outfitted with a front panel LCD display and Sierra Video Systems‘ Qwik Adjust Knob™ rotary control interface. Lassen XL routing switchers are supported by Sierra Video Systems‘ SCP Series programmable control panels as well as XY and single bus remote control panels.
