(UP TO 3G) IN 2RU
7272HD-3G 72X72 HD-SDI
(UP TO 3G) IN 4RU
And all at only 2.5” deep! This perfect match of size and functionality is coupled with Aspen’s
innovative design for signal integrity providing cable runs of over 155 meters at 3Gb/s, over 200 meters
at 1.5Gb/s and operating at extremely low power.
The Aspen’s embedded controller can be run via Ethernet or RS232/422 serial interface making it easy
to integrate into any automation or control system. Its built-in web server offers control and setup
functions and works in any OS and browser. It is even compatible with touch and click devices such as
Tablets and Smartphones!
Without question, the outstanding price/performance ratio of the Sierra Aspen Family of routers makes
them the best Compact router family in their class! They are the perfect mainstay router family for
any HD-SDI video application and are particularly ruggedized for mobile environments and rental
installations.
Due to it’s innovative design and outstanding feature-set, the Aspen was awarded
“TECHNOLOGY STAR AWARD AT NAB 2012”

Aspen RCP Ethernet Remote Control Panels
The Aspen RCP control panels are connected to the Aspen routers via ethernet and are setup using
a simple browser. No software needs to be installed on your computer to set up or operate the Aspen
RCP panels.
These panels are reliable and exible enough to allow the routing switcher to be controlled in a variety
of ways. These panels can be congured as simple single output to full XY button per source, button
per destination, with or without salvos.
There are 3 x RCP panels in the range which can be used with any of the Aspen routers:
ASPEN RCP-1616 IN 1RU
ASPEN RCP-3232 IN 2RU

ASPEN RCP-7272 IN 2RU
