RODUCT OVERVIEW

PESA’s Cheetah Series Video Matrix Switcher products are manufactured using a “building block”
architecture of core components installed in a chassis frame that provides the infrastructure
requirements of circuit card capacity, power, cooling and system control I/O connections. There are
several different types of chassis frames in the Cheetah family, of which the 864XR is a member. Each
frame is designed for a specific purpose – but most are built with a degree of flexibility to accommodate
as wide a range of customer needs as possible.

While all frames do indeed serve the same basic purpose – to house the switcher “building block”
components and provide the system infrastructure – component layout, internal signal routing through
backplanes and mid-planes and frame-specific power supply components vary greatly between the
frames. For this reason each frame type in the Cheetah family has its own Technical Manual Volume.
All frame-specific data such as the items just mentioned plus connector locations, pin-outs and other
pertinent information peculiar to the 864XR frame is contained in this Technical Manual.

Using the 864 XR frame and the Cheetah 144X144 Matrix CCA a routing switcher with the capacity of
up to 864 inputs and 864 outputs can be configured in a single 41 rack unit (RU) frame. Table 2-1
indicates the maximum number of each core component type that can be installed in the 864XR frame.
Figure 2-1 is a front view of the chassis layout with the access door open. Figure 2-2 is a rear view of
the 864XR frame.

2.2 R

The 864XR Frame is configured using combinations of the following Core System Components:
Input Circuit Card Assembly

Matrix Circuit Card Assembly
Output Circuit Card Assembly
Power Supply Module
Control System (System Controller CCA and Frame Controller CCA)
Each core component is identified and a very brief look at the function of each is provided in the

following paragraphs.

2.2.1 I

As the name implies, the Input Circuit Card Assembly (CCA), often referred to simply as the input card,
is the entry point for video signals into the routing switcher matrix. Each input card accepts up to 16
video input signals from various sources. There are six input card variations in the Cheetah Series
product line, to accommodate different input signal types.

Each input card, regardless of signal type, contains the cable equalization circuitry, buffer amplifiers
and signal drivers used to condition the incoming signal prior to entering the switching matrix. Each
input card also contains circuitry to monitor the status of the input channels, power rails and other
operational functions.

EVIEW OF CORE SYSTEM COMPONENTS

NPUT CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLY

Input cards are physically attached to the rear panel of the chassis frame and provide the input
connectors for attaching signals to the switcher. Each card is equipped with two status LEDs on the edge
of the assembly close to the bottom input connectors. The user can very quickly perform a visual
assessment of the status of the input cards by observing the state of the LEDs.

2.2.2 M

Each Matrix Card is where the actual crosspoint switching function takes place. In all Cheetah
variations, the matrix cards are installed inside the chassis frame and are accessible by opening the front
access door. Each card is equipped with LEDs on the assembly edge so that the user can quickly assess
the status of each matrix card in the system with a visual inspection.

2.2.3 O

The Output Card is the exit point for video signals leaving the routing switcher and each card provides
up to 16 video output channels. There are seven output card variations to accommodate different signal
output types.

Each output card contains the necessary channel combiner circuitry, buffer amplifiers, re-clocking
circuitry and driver amplifiers to generate the signal output for each channel. Voltage comparators
monitor the status of the power rails. On-board programmed logic circuitry interprets data from the
comparators along with data relevant to the status of the output channels and other card operational
functions to provide a real-time status monitor as to the health of each output card.

Output cards are physically attached to the rear panel of the chassis frame and provide the connectors
for accessing the signal outputs from the switcher. Each card is equipped with two status LEDs on the
edge of the assembly close to the bottom connectors. The user can very quickly perform a visual
assessment of the status of the output cards by observing the state of the LEDs.

2.2.4 P

Cheetah video routing switchers use common 600 Watt power supply modules that provide a fully
regulated source of +28 VDC @ 22A for powering system components. The number of power supply
modules used in a frame is dependent on several factors including the number of input, matrix and
output cards required for system capacity and whether or not power redundancy is desired. Up to 8
Power Supply Modules may be installed in the 864XR Frame.

All of the power supply modules are physically and electrically identical. Each module is “hot­swappable” for easy removal and replacement without any disruption of switcher outputs. Circuitry
internal to the power supply continuously monitors the operational parameters, output voltage and
current level and the module operating temperature. Three LED display devices on the front panel of
each module allow the user to quickly perform a visual assessment of the status of each supply module
by observing the state of the LEDs.

2.2.5 C

Every switcher configuration requires a Control System. In the Cheetah family there are two core
components of the control system that reside within the chassis frame: the System Controller Card and
the Frame Controller Card.

The System Controller Card resides in the matrix switcher frame, however the term System Controller
refers collectively to the System Controller CCA and its associated board-resident firmware and a
software application that runs on a Microsoft Windows based PC platform. In the Cheetah product line
there are two variations of System Controllers: the 3500PRO and the PERC2000. Regardless of which
control system is used (3500 or PERC), at least one system controller card must be installed in the
chassis frame. Each chassis frame can support up to two system controller cards although only one
controller card is required. A second system controller card may be installed for redundancy capability.

OWER SUPPLY MODULE

ONTROL SYSTEM

The Frame Controller Card also resides in the matrix switcher frame. Just as with the system controller
card, each chassis frame can support up to two frame controller cards, although only one is required. A
second frame controller card may be installed for redundancy capability.

Consider the System Controller to be the master overseer of the entire system. The system controller
card communicates bi-directionally with the frame controller circuitry. Think of the Frame Controller
as a slave that is subservient to its master – the System Controller. The Frame Controller circuitry
orchestrates all system switching commands and all other control functions for the entire switcher
frame. It is the job of the System Controller to keep the entire system running as it is programmed to
do. The System Controller provides programming functions and interface functions to various types of
control panels that may be used by facility operators to control operations of the entire switching
system. Also, the system may be operated from a Windows based PC interfaced to the system
controller and running the controller software application.

2.2.6 B

Note in Figure 2-1 that there are two power supply modules residing on each power supply backplane
along with an 8-position DIP switch; and four matrix cards residing on each matrix backplane along
with six rotary switches (S1 thru S6). In addition to the switches on the backplanes, also note the ten
rotary switches used for chassis strobe configuration.

Figure 2-2 illustrates the rear panel of the chassis frame where the input and output cards are installed.
Note in this figure that up to four input or output cards may reside on each I/O Backplane and that each
backplane contains an 8-position DIP switch.

The DIP switches and rotary switches on the various backplanes and in the chassis frame are factory set
to assign operational parameters to the system components. The switch settings assign such things as
what channel numbers a bank of input or output cards will service, frame type, number of cooling fans,
etc. Although the switches are set at the factory for every system, a guide to the proper settings for each
switch peculiar to the 864XR Frame is included in Chapter 5 of this manual. This scheme of assigning
identification to the backplane and interface ports allows full interchangeability between like CCAs in
the system.

In every frame variation the input cards and the output cards are loaded through the rear panel card
chassis into mating connectors located on an I/O backplane. Each card chassis is configured using I/O
backplanes with four cards installed to each. All slots may or may not be used in a particular system
dependent on the number of input and output channels and whether or not the output cards are fitted
with option cards. When option cards are used, each output card will occupy two slots in the card
chassis. In a typical Cheetah system, the input cards and output cards will be co-resident in the card
chassis. Be aware that although input cards and output cards can be co-resident in the card chassis, they
CAN NOT be co-resident on the same backplane. Each I/O backplane in the chassis is designated as
either an input or an output backplane.

ENERAL CHASSIS INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

The physical size of each Cheetah Series Switcher chassis is determined by the chassis input/output
capabilities. 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.

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 should be located near the
primary power disconnect/breaker so that the AC supply disconnect is
easily accessible.

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 close 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.
