Broadcast HD-SDI and 3G-SDI applications, and fully supports SMPTE 259M, 292M, 372M and
424M standards. It’s expandable in sizes from 16X16 up to 64X64 in a 4RU frame that supports
redundant power, control, and a hot-swappable crosspoint matrix. I/O cards allow easy expansion
in groups of 16 inputs or 16 outputs per card.
The Cheetah 64NEX is a modular design featuring four rear-panel slots for input buffer cards and
four slots for output combiner cards. Input or output cards support up to 16 video connections, and
are available with standard BNC connectors or SFP fiber optic modules.
With its small 4RU footprint, the Cheetah 64NEX Router can be configured as a partially loaded
frame allowing for easy future field expansion. The system’s integrated Matrix Frame Controller
monitors the health of the unit and automatically recognizes any new I/O cards. Once the cards are
installed, the router can be easily configured with PESA’s PERC 2000 System Controller software.
The Cheetah 64NEX router can be controlled from the PESA control system or by a third-party

4-7 System Control Alarm Connector
The system controller initiates a system alarm when the controller is in reset and when the
standby controller is gathering configuration information from the primary controller. During an
alarm condition, an optically isolated, electronically closed circuit (see Figure 4-8 on next page)
exists between contacts 3 and 1 for Controller A (top) and contacts 2 and 1 for Controller B
(bottom). This circuit acts as a switch to trigger an optional external alarm in the event of a
controller fault or failure. The controller alarm circuit supplies an electronic contact closure, but
does not provide a voltage to the external alarm.
The Customer-supplied alarm circuit voltage to this connector must not
exceed 12VDC and the associated amperage must not exceed 10mA.
The alarm is activated if any of the following system controller software conditions exist:
• Encounters an interrupt that it does not expect or can not process.
• Is unable to synchronize with the second system controller (dual controllers).
• Does not get the configuration from the active system controller (dual controllers)
The customer supplied external alarm circuit is connected with a cable constructed as shown in
Figure 4-8.

4.9.7 Frame and System Alarm Connectors
The three-pin connectors, illustrated in Figure 4-16, provide an interface for an external,
customer-supplied frame and system control alarm. The Matrix Frame Controller determines
when a frame alarm condition is declared while the System controller determines when a system
alarm condition is declared. Alarm contact location is illustrated in Figure 4-17 on the next page.
This circuit acts as a switch to trigger an optional external alarm in the event of a
controller/system fault or failure. The alarm circuit supplies an electronic contact closure, but
does not provide a voltage to the external alarm. The customer-supplied external alarm circuit is
connected with a cable constructed as shown in Figure 4-17 (next page).
The Customer-supplied power input to this connector must not exceed
12VDC and the associated amperage must not exceed 10mA.

Using the Cheetah GUI, the user can assign a specific reference signal for the system or
individual chassis that is used as a synchronization signal for specific output synchronized
switching. Once the output has been switched, the output signal remains synchronized to the
initial reference assignment until it is switched again with a new reference assignment. An
example of a sync assignment would be as follows:
Reference 1 is connected to an NTSC sync signal source and Reference 2 is connected to a
PAL sync signal source. Using the GUI, the user assigns Reference 1 to outputs 6 through 10
and Reference 2 to outputs 11 through 16 for a specific chassis.
Reference 1 or 2 should be connected to the house sync source or tri-level source with coaxial
cable and standard BNC connectors.
ETTING CHASSIS LEVEL CODES (STROBES
)
Chassis Level Codes (Strobes) assign operational parameters to the switcher frame. There are
seven rotary switches, located just to the right of the power supply modules and accessible from the
front of the router, used to set the chassis level code and other frame operational characteristics.
Chassis switch settings are preset at the factory and should never need any maintenance or
adjustment. This information is provided as a reference so that in the event any switch setting
should inadvertently be changed, it can be restored to its correct setting.
Proper setting positions for these switches are shown in Figure 4-19.
Prior to adjusting any of the chassis strobe switches, it is strongly
recommended that you contact PESA’s Customer Service Department for
assistance.

This section addresses the system components, frame, and control verification sequences that should be
performed prior to energizing the system and placing the system in service. Attention to this section
will minimize system startup and in-service malfunctions.
5.1 S
5.2 S
YSTEM PRE-START VERIFICATION CHECKLIST
A system pre-start verification checklist includes a visual inspection to account for basic setup
functions that, if incorrect, could result in immediate system startup malfunctions. The following
basic checks should be performed prior to energizing any Cheetah chassis:
1. Verify the main power source is OFF (de-energized).
2. Verify all cards/modules are latched and secure.
3. Verify all blank covers are in place and secure (no open slots in the frame).
4. Verify the line cord(s) are connected to the chassis and are properly terminated to the source
power distribution system (i.e., connectors plugged in or pigtails terminated).
5. Inspect for unusual items such as loose wiring, frayed cabling, loose connections or
components, and missing cards/modules (basically, check for anything that seems out of
place or could present a problem).
6. Proceed to System Startup.
YSTEM STARTUP
Perform the Cheetah system startup sequence as follows:
RAME AND CONTROL VERIFICATION
1. Energize the main power source to the chassis.
Result: The system has a 30 to 45 second delay prior to energizing the components. When
the delay has expired, the system will energize and the cards will perform initial
self-diagnostics.
Verify the blank-cover panels are securely in place. These panels are an
integral part of the chassis cooling system. A loose, broken, and/or missing
blank-cover panel could result in destructive overheating of equipment
components.

HEETAH SERIES POWER SUPPLIES
6.1.1 Cheetah Series Power Supply Information
Cheetah Series Power Supplies contain electrical shock hazards and should
only be serviced by qualified service personnel with experience in servicing
off-line switching regulators.
There are no user serviceable parts contained in the Cheetah Series Power
Supplies. All service performed on the Power Supplies should be performed
by the PESA Service Department.
High Leakage Current at 240VAC. The Cheetah Series Power Supply
leakage current exceeds 7.0mA when used at 240 VAC because of leakage
through emission filter capacitors.
The Cheetah Power Supply is responsible for providing a regulated ±28VDC @22A to the
switching frame. The Cheetah Power Supply is designed to operate automatically with input AC
line voltage ranges from 95-240 VAC and with AC line frequencies of 50/60 Hz. All Cheetah
power supplies have built-in, over-current protection circuitry. When two supplies are used, each
supply is electrically connected to a common/dedicated buss within the chassis.
Additionally, each power supply contains dual internal fan controller systems that are isolated
from the main DC power output buss connections. Depending on the chassis, there are
dependent power supply installation configurations to satisfy the fan operations. In a two-supply
system, one supply module becomes the master and the other becomes the slave.
In the event of a Cheetah Power Supply failure, return the malfunctioning unit to the PESA
Service Department for replacement. The power supplies contain lethal voltages when operating
and should be serviced only by the PESA Service Department. Please call the PESA Service
Department for a RMA number before returning any units for replacement. The Service
Department’s phone number is listed on the front page of this manual.

1. Align the metallic support plate of the first power supply vertically with the card guides in
the chassis.
2. Press upward on the power supply latch located on the front bottom of the assembly and
carefully insert the power supply into the chassis until the connectors on the power supply
make contact with the backplane connectors.
3. Firmly, push the power supply unit into the chassis until the power supply latch engages
the corresponding slot in the chassis.
The latch on the power supply acts as a retainer latch and a power ON/OFF
switch for the unit.
Cheetah 64NEX Digital Video Router
Publication 81-9059-0685-0, Rev. A
March 2011
3. Make sure the latch is fully engaged (down and secured/mated into the corresponding slot in
the chassis) to enable (energize) the power supply.
6.1.6 Removing the Power Supplies
To remove a power supply, follow these steps (you may remove power supplies while the
Cheetah system is operational [energized], which is called hot-swapping):
Make sure you will still have the minimum number of power supplies
installed before removing power supplies. The minimum number depends
on your configuration, which is either one or two power supplies. If you
only have one supply installed and you must remove it, de-energize the unit
first.
1. Open the Cheetah front cover.
When the latch on the power supply is moved to the full-upward position,
the power supply is switched off and is freed from the retaining slot in the
chassis.

2. Carefully insert the input/output buffer card into the chassis until the screw makes contact
with the backplane. This will align the card with its’ corresponding backplane contact block.
3. Secure the screw using a 5/16” hex socket or a flat head screwdriver. As the screw is
tightened, the card is automatically seated into the contact block on the backplane.
4. Repeat the above steps for each additional input/output buffer card.
5. Reverse the order for removal of the card.
6.3 V
IDEO MATRIX (CROSSPOINT) CARD
The digital matrix card accepts video sources (143Mbps to 3Gbps) from the input buffer cards and provides
output signals to the output combiner cards. All switching is done by a special purpose device, controlled
by commands from the matrix frame controller. Any input signal may be routed to any or multiple output
channels of the card.
There are six LEDs located on the front edge of each matrix card that provide a visual indication of the
operational status of the card; these are identified by Figure 6-4. Table 6-2 lists the possible states and
interpretation data for the LEDs.
Figure 6-5 is a block diagram of the digital matrix card. Paragraph 6.4 presents a narrative description of
the circuit functions shown on the block diagram.

UNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION - DIGITAL VIDEO MATRIX CARD
Refer to Figure 6-5 as we discuss the various circuit functions of this card. There are 64 identical input
channel paths provided. Video signals are derived from the output channels of the input buffer cards and
routed to the inputs of the matrix card. As a signal enters the card it is routed to an Input Buffer stage,
internal to the crosspoint device. This device contains the switching circuitry to deliver a signal on any of
its input channels to any of its output channels. Switching data for the crosspoint device is received from
the on-board microcontroller circuitry. The crosspoint also contains output buffer stages, internal to the
device, for isolation. Video from each device channel is available at the card edge connector where it is
routed to the output combiner cards.
The On-Board Microcontroller is the interface between the matrix card and the frame control system. The
microcontroller constantly monitors the status and health of the card and reports this data to the system
frame controller. Commands from the frame controller are interpreted by the microcontroller circuitry and
select the active inputs and outputs of the crosspoint device. Data indicating the status of the operating
voltage rails is sent to the microcontroller by circuitry contained in the Voltage Regulator stage. The
microcontroller also provides a visual indication of certain board functions by controlling the operating
state of the status LEDs. Operating voltages necessary to power the matrix card circuitry are derived from
on-board voltage regulator devices.

The matrix frame controller, located on the right front of the unit, is illustrated in Figure 6-6. For
every frame type, at least one Matrix Frame Controller (MFC) is required. The function of the
frame controller is to determine frame size, level, input offsets, output offsets, plus other physical
characteristics of the frame hardware. Both PESA’s PRC protocol and NET PRC protocol are
available to the MFC. With the NET-PRC protocol, the MFC has the ability to communicate to a
system controller via Ethernet connection. More features include SNMP support and redundant
MFC cards with auto changeover.

8.2A
The Cheetah Matrix Frame Controller contains an SNMP v2c agent, which is also compatible with
SNMP v1 management stations. The agent supports the following standards:
Two enterprise MIBs are used to provide full control of Cheetah Switchers. The first, PESATC.MIB, is a MIB, which defines some textual conventions. The second, PESA-MATRIX.MIB,
contains objects, which allow SNMP-based control and monitoring of one or more Cheetah
Switchers.
Note that the agent within the Matrix Frame Controller implements a subset of the PESA-MATRIX
MIB. The optional Group tables are reserved for implementation within the System Controller.
The agent is capable of managing multiple Cheetah Switchers. This is accomplished in two steps:
a) Connecting the Cheetah Switchers via the RS-422 Aux Frame Port described in this manual.
b) Set the Matrix Frame Controller, which is to communicate with your SNMP management
application to NETPRC Master. Note that if you have redundant Matrix Frame Controllers
in the Switcher, BOTH must be configured as NETPRC Master. Refer to the Ethernet
section described earlier in Appendix A to accomplish this.
c) Set all other Matrix Frame Controllers, which you have connected, to the NETPRC Master
controller to NETPRC Slave.
The agent will then be able to configure and control all of the Cheetah Switchers in the connected
collection.
Once you have configured the Matrix Frame Controller's SNMP agent (as described in Appendix
A), you may issue SNMP commands. The following commands were issued on a PC running
Linux against a pair of small Cheetah Switchers.

The first of these simply obtains the inventory for the two frames.
The next set of commands creates a preset (a collection of switches that are to be taken as a
group). In this case, the preset contains two switch definitions (preset members). The first
connects source 1 to destination 1 on level 2. The second connects source 2 to destination 2, again
on level 2. Both are set to utilize the synchronization signal A (REF 1 on the Cheetah back panel).
Note that if you specify sources, destinations, or synchronization sources which are unknown to the
agent, the operations will fail.

PPENDIX C:
The PESA Matrix Frame Controller Debug Port protocol is an RS-232 connection that allows
service personnel to directly interact with the PESA Matrix frame controller in order to determine
the health of the matrix and to perform certain diagnostics. The same protocol is supported via the
Telnet connection; however, the network parameters cannot be configured through the Telnet
connection.
Commands consist of the first two non-whitespace ASCII character sequences entered in a
command line.
Cheetah 64NEX Digital Video Router
Publication 81-9059-0685-0, Rev. A
ATRIX FRAME CONTROLLER DEBUG PORT PROTOCOL
March 2011
Each command is followed by a series of optional data parameters. Data parameters start after the
first whitespace following the command sequence. Commas delimit the data parameters. All data
parameters have leading and trailing whitespaces trimmed.
A command is terminated by a Carriage return. A command is not acted on until the carriage
return is received.
Command sequences are case insensitive.
D3: Command Line Character Input
The following indicates how characters input into the debug port are handled.
1) Command Entry
Commands are entered character by character onto the command line. All ASCII keys are
concatenated onto a string. In addition, entry of the DELETE or BACKSPACE keys will
cause the last character that was entered to be removed from the character string.
In verbose mode, all ASCII characters entered into the serial port are echoed back. The
DELETE and BACKSPACE keys cause control characters to be echoed that cause the cursor
to move back deleting the last character input.
In terse mode, the input characters are not echoed back.
After a command has been executed, the debug port will output the appropriate response (if
any) followed by a Carriage Return/Linefeed and the ‘>’ character. The receipt of the ‘>’
character indicates that the next command is ready to be entered.
Proprietary Information of PESA
8-6
Page 52
2) Verbose Mode
The verbose mode responses include text information and formatting that describe the
command response in terms that can be read by a user that is using a terminal interface to the
debug port – i.e., Human-Machine Interface (HMI).
• Ctl-C – Aborts the current command and starts new command line with a new prompt.
• Ctl-V – Verbose Response Mode (default) – Causes responses to be returned in a
verbose mode fit for human consumption of data (plain language).
3) Terse mode
This mode outputs minimal information that fully describes the necessary response data. Its
intent is to be read from an automated device such as a PC – i.e., Machine-Machine Interface
(MMI).
• Ctl-C – Aborts the current command and starts new command line with a new prompt.
• Ctl-T – Terse Response Mode – Causes commands to be responded to in a terse mode
fit for machine consumption of data (programming language).
D5: Command Enumeration
