General

The S2560E is designed specifically for high performance dig- ital 422 data and analog audio signal routing in an expand- able and compact 5RU format. No other switching system on the market delivers higher density for audio, video or data switching.The system is field configurable from a small 32x32 andexpandable to a full 256x256. The S2560E provides solid-state switching of signals up to 125MHz. To support critical installa- tions, the unit comes standard with hot-swap power supplies. Adding the the system flexibility, it will accept up to twoplug-in control CPU units (one is needed, two would be a redundant configuration). These plug-in CPUs provide a host of control options including Ethernet, Serial and GPIB, plus they contain field upgradable program FLASH for simple updates. The unique fully non-blocking Tri-Stage design delivers highsignal performance, small package size and redundant sig-nal paths for the ultimate in reliability. A departure from stan- dard switching system technology, the System S2560E pro- vides over 13,000 crosspoints per vertical rack unit (RU). Optional I/O connector adapter panels are available toallow the system to be multi-purpose for audio, video, or a combination of both, plus they allow the user to remotely locate the inputs or outputs from the actual switching system chassis. This allows a new higher level of flexibility for the sys- tem integrator. See page 6 for additional details.
