16X16 or 8X8 High Defintion Router for 3G-SDI

Huntsville, Alabama – January 14, 2010- PESA, a major provider of broadcast and Pro AV distribution and router transport solutions is now shipping the new Ocelot-3 series for affordable small scale 3Gb/s routing. Based on the flexible architecture of PESA’s popular Ocelot series of router solutions, the compact 1RU frame accommodates up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs and supports both SMPTE and ITU digital video standards for 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SDI, and DVB-ASI formats. Data rates from 270Mbps to 2.97Gbps can be transported up to 80m with perfect signal performance. Inputs are equalized and outputs are automatically reclocked to SMPTE/ITU data rates or will automatically revert to bypass mode for non-standard video data rates.

The Ocelot-3 is offered with either local or remote control panels which can be custom labeled for easy identification. Up to 16 control panels can be connected to the same router frame when multiple users are desired. Each Ocelot-3 can be also be controlled by using the serial protocol commands via third party control systems or as an add-on switch level to an existing PESA 3500PRO or P2K controller.
Designed to meet the needs of both broadcast and professional AV users, the Ocelot-3 is the perfect fit for cost competitive small scale switching in any studio environment.

“The Ocelot-3 is ideal for routing HD-SDI and other high definition video sources for digital cinema, telemedicine, satellite, cable, military command and control and as well as high end simulation and visualization systems�, said Keith Bond, PESA’s Vice President of Product Management, “This is a very affordable router and it’s an incredible advantage for system integrators who demand a cost effective and non-complicated router systems to build out smaller sized video facilities.�
