Overview

ASPEN−1616UX is a 16x16 matrix switcher for SDI signals of up to 12G. It equalizes the input signal and reclocks the output signal to gain extended−reach signal extension. ASPEN−1616UX is easy to operate and control through the network using the intuitive web pages and through RS−232 using a serial controller.

Features

• High–Performance Matrix Switcher — Switches 16 12G SDI inputs to 16 12G SDI outputs with a maximum resolution of 4K@60Hz (4:2:2). Features Kramer Equalization & reKlocking™ Technology that rebuilds the digital signal to travel longer distances.
• HDTV Compatible.
• SDI Multi Rate Signals — Auto–adapts from 270Mbps to 12Gbps data rates, accepts SDI, HD–SDI, 3G HD–SDI, 6G and 12G SDI compliant input signals with video resolution of up to 4K@60Hz (4:2:2) 30bpp. Complying with SMPTE 259M (SD–SDI), 292M (HD–SDI), 344M (ED–SDI), 424M (3G HD–SDI), ST–2081 (6G–SDI) and ST–2082 (12G–SDI) standards, it supports pass–through of standard embedded audio channels with ancillary ID and metadata information.
• Extended–Reach Input Extension — Input signal equalization and output signals reclocking to gain extended–reach signal extension. Using high–quality coaxial SDI cables, supports extension of up to 300m (984ft) for SD signals; 200m (656ft) for 1.5G HD signals; 100m (328ft) for 3G and 6G HD signals; 80m (260ft) for 12G 4K signals. Note: Reach depends on signal resolution, and quality of copper cable used. Reach extension performance may vary while using coaxial cables that are not high–quality.
• Genlock Clean Switching and Versatility — Clean switching when the sources are genlocked to the selected genlock input with a difference of no more than two lines of video. Versatile Genlocking using an analog signal.
  Convenient and Comprehensive Control — Control the unit using intuitive embedded web pages via the Ethernet or Protocol 3000 API commands via RS–232 serial communication transmitted by a PC, touch screen system or other serial controller. Stores 8 multiple switches as presets to be recalled and executed when needed. Upgrade firmware via the embedded webpages.
• Compact and Easy to Install — 19” wide and only 4" deep enclosure for rack mounting a unit in a 1U rack space with included rack ears.
