CHEETAH SERIES SWITCHERS – CHAPTER 2

Chapter 2 CHEETAH 64 SERIES INTRODUCTION

81-9059-0577-0 Rev. E

2.1 C

Cheetah 64 series switchers are full-featured video matrix switchers capable of handling Serial
Digital Interface (SDI) and High-Definition Television (HDTV), as well as other non-standard
digital signals, in the same frame. Copper and optional fiber input and output modules provide for
maximum flexibility.

2.2 C

Additionally, PESA offers analog cards for the Cheetah 64 series switchers, which will allow users
to maintain legacy equipment during the transition to digital or single-ended, general purpose
NTSC video transmission applications such as video data for telemetry, radar, surveillance, high­level TTL video switching, and 75Ω audio. The analog inputs can accept signals from DC to the –
3dB roll-off at 50 MHz with voltages up to ±2V standard and ±5V for high level.

To maximize the analog offering for the Cheetah 64 series, all frame sizes (64NE, 64XE, and
64WE) will accept analog matrix and I/O cards. Cheetah 64 series system configurations will
allow partitioning for either all analog or all digital cards to reside in the same frame in blocks of
64x64 and 64x128. The 64NE, 64XE, and 64WE frames can be configured for either all digital or
all analog.

The following types of analog I/O cards are available:

HEETAH 64 SERIES PRODUCT OVERVIEW

HEETAH 64 SERIES SWITCHERS ANALOG SUPPORT

• Basic analog input cards, output cards, and matrix cards with maximum bandwidths of 50

MHz.

• Analog input cards and an output cards for high-level signals to support telemetry or other

types of sine wave signals with voltage levels to a maximum of ±5V p-p.

Basic analog output cards and the High-Level cards will accept the optional dual-output, piggyback
cards.

The frame architecture for the analog model uses common components from sister HD/SD frames,
thus allowing for easy future migration to full digital. Power supplies and matrix control cards are
the same for Cheetah 64 series analog versions.

HEETAH 64 SERIES SWITCHERS FEATURES

2.3.1 Cheetah 64 Series Switchers Features Overview

All Cheetah 64 series (64NE, XE, and WE) video matrix switchers offer alarm support, switch
confirmation, block checking, and power-out-of-range indicators. A key feature of the 64NE and
64WE switchers is the Matrix Watchdog™ redundant crosspoint (matrix) option. For critical
routing requirements of live, on-air situations or other critical distribution facilities, a redundant
crosspoint can be added to automatically swap over in case of failure. This feature is offered as
an option in our basic configurations. The Watchdog™ option includes monitoring capabilities
to alert personnel of a crosspoint failure.

The Cheetah 64XE is an extremely flexible routing switcher that can be configured in three ways.
First, the 64XE expands outputs for a basic 64X128 configuration similar to the 64WE model.
Next, the 64XE is offered as a 64X64 that offers output option slots for in-frame format
conversion cards. In this configuration, three options are available:

• HD to SDI down-conversion,

• SDI to Composite Analog Video (DAC)

• Fiber Outputs

• Dual Outputs

The 64XE is further enhanced with an option to support either internal fiber or coax I/O. Finally,
for those applications that require only a portion of the frame to be configured for output options,
the 64XE is flexible enough to accommodate the following three additional sizes:

• 64x80: Output options for 17-64 (first option slot used for 65-80)

• 64x96: Output Options for 33-64 (first two option slots used for 65-96)

• 64x112: Output Options for 49-64 (first three options slots used for 65-112)

The 64WE includes non-expandable outputs (similar to the 64NE) with output options (similar to
the 64XE) and has redundant crosspoints.

2.3.2 Cheetah 64 Series Switchers Standard Features

The Cheetah 64 series features include:

• Compact 4RU for the 64NE configuration; 6RU for the 64WE and 64XE configurations

• Full feature control system using either standard PESA PRC Control or PESA Network

Control (PERC2000, 3500Pro or 3500Pro-LE)

• Video and data signals from 3Mb/s to 1.48Gb/s

• Optional Fiber Input and Output cards for the 64XE and 64WE frames

Chapter 3 CHEETAH 64 SERIES CONFIGURATION MATRIX

3.1 C

This section includes a list of all of the major components for the Cheetah 64NE, 64XE, and 64WE
Video Matrix Switchers chassis/frames (models).

When discussing output options and expandable outputs, the meanings are as follows:

Table 3-1 includes only the active cards that are required for the individual Cheetah 64 series
chassis configurations. The blank covers (if necessary) are required for the card locations that are
not used (to satisfy chassis component cooling requirements).

Table 3-2 includes PESA part numbers for the corresponding Cheetah 64 Series cards, power
modules, and other components

HEETAH 64 SERIES CONFIGURATION MATRIX OVERVIEW

• Output Options pertains to which cards can go into a particular output slot in the frame for a

specific configuration(s). This includes cards that offer signal expansion or conversion such
as dual outputs, HD to SDI down-conversion, Digital to Analog conversion, and electrical
(copper) to fiber conversion. Option cards are offered as “piggy-back” modules that plug
onto the base output combiner card.

• Expandable Outputs pertains to the number of outputs that a particular frame can be

expanded beyond the basic configuration (e.g., 80, 96, 112, or 128 outputs).

Chapter 5 CHEETAH 64 SERIES INITIAL SETUP

This section will describe the initial unpacking, site-selection procedures/sequences, and settings
for the Cheetah 64 Series switchers.

5.1 U

NPACKING AND INSPECTION

This equipment contains electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD). Use a grounded
wrist strap, grounding mat, and/or comply with local established ESD
procedures when handling the internal circuit cards to prevent destruction
from electrostatic discharge.

Immediately upon receipt, inspect all shipping containers. Carefully unpack the equipment and
compare the parts received against the packing list. If any parts appear to be missing or damaged,
please contact PESA immediately.

CHEETAH 64 SERIES – CHAPTER 5

81-9059-0577-0 Rev. E

5.2 G

The physical size of each Cheetah Series Switcher chassis is determined by the chassis input/output
capabilities (i.e., the 64NE chassis is the smallest while the 64XE and 64WE chassis are the
largest). If specified when ordered, each Cheetah Switcher will be configured for the intended
system at the factory. Before attempting to install any frame, matrix card, controller card, or power
supply, carefully read and understand this section.

5.3 C

This equipment is designed for installation in a standard 19" equipment rack located in an
environment conforming to the specifications for each chassis. Locate each unit as closely as
possible to its associated equipment to minimize cable runs.

Consider the connection from this equipment to the supply circuit, and the effect that possible
overloading can have on overcurrent protection circuits and supply wiring. Refer to nameplate
ratings when addressing this concern.

ENERAL CHASSIS INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

All Cheetah Switchers contain electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD). Care
should be used when it is necessary to handle the internal circuit cards. It is
recommended that a grounded wrist strap and grounding mat be used before
attempting any equipment installations.

HOOSING A LOCATION

For local electrical compliance, this equipment shou
socket-outlet, power strip (if plugs are used), or the supply
disconnect/breaker so that the AC line cord plugs or the supply disconnect
are easily accessible.

Installation or removal of this equipment requires at least two persons in

order to avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage. Install this
equipment in such a manner as to avoid any tipping hazard from uneven
loading of the rack.

Make sure that all power is disconnected (Lockout/Tagout) before installing
the specific frame into the rack.

Fans that are mounted on this equipment provide forced-air cooling. Do not
block airflow around these fans. Replace all service panels and blank filler
plates. Keep the chassis door closed during normal operation.

This equipment is designed for installation in a standard 19" equipment rack. Provide sufficient
space behind the equipment racks to allow for control, signal, power cables, and free airflow after
all cables are installed. Use all chassis mounting holes and tighten mounting hardware securely
by using the rack equipment manufacturer’s suggested torque settings.

Install the equipment into the rack as follows:

1. Carefully, remove the equipment from the packing container and place the unit near the

rack where it will be installed.

2. Insert the chassis into the equipment rack and support the bottom of the chassis while the

mounting hardware is being installed.

3. Install the bottom two chassis mounting screws.

4. Install the top two chassis mounting screws.

5. Install any remaining chassis mounting screws.

6. Tighten all of the chassis mounting screws until they are secure. Release/remove the

support from the bottom of the chassis.

HASSIS LEVEL CODES (STROBES

)

This subsection will be divided into the following two subtopics:

• Cheetah 64NE Chassis Strobe Switch Locations and Settings

• Cheetah 64XE and 64WE Chassis Strobe Switch Locations and Settings

Set the level codes (strobes) BEFORE installing the matrix frame controller
card.

To set the level codes for all Cheetah Series chassis, use the rotary switches to define a
hexadecimal number. Use the settings in the LSB row (lower row) first. For example, to set the
Level Strobe to 12, set the LSB Level Strobe switch to C. Switch functions are described in the
