PESA will present its Jaguar 3 64 x 64 array fiber-optic routing switcher with an elective backplane design that uses MiniCube Miniature Form Pluggable (MFP) receiver technology at InfoComm 2012 (Booth N1327), that runs June 13-15 in Las Vegas. Developed by Advanced Fiber Products, MFP technology establishes a new draw close to LC-type essential element connectivity that saves space and uses reduction power.

Offering up to 64 x 64 high-speed fiber-optic ports, PESA's Jaguar 3 routing switcher offers MFP technology for condensed fiber-optic switching. Two common backplanes enable I/O ports in groups of 32 for possibly 75V BNC or MFP LC fiber. The Jaguar 3 can highway all SMPTE and ITU typical sequence digital video signals, and it supports embedded audio and other subordinate information for SDI, HD-SDI and DVB/ASI announce sources. For digital cinema, the Jaguar 3 can simply be configured to encouragement SMPTE S372 for dual-link HD-SDI.

With the MFP elective essential element backplane, HD signals may be transmitted up to 10km. Data rates from 50Mb/s up to 3Gb/s are supported. All inputs are auto-equalized, whilst outputs are auto-sensed and reclocked to the apt ride stream. For nonstandard formats, reclockers may be bypassed to enable any information rate up to 3Gb/s. Two eccentric anxiety inputs enable easy preference of sync using possibly black detonate or tri-level sync source.

With MFP modules, both straight and right-angle pluggable cages are available, consequent in a 50 percent not as big footprint. With vertical-mount cages, hot-pluggable essential element connectors may be installed in the same backplane space as a typical BNC port, that simplifies product wrapping and increases product performance. Plus, MFP video transceivers use up to 40 percent reduction power than normal video visual transceivers.

The 2RU Jaguar 3 frame features front-load, hot-swappable card sets and includes slots for elective surplus power supply/control modules. It may be configured to encouragement a accumulation of manage interfaces, inclusive Ethernet, RS-232 or PESA's PERC2000 manage system. It moreover includes PESA's CATTRAX software, that provides a network interface for diagnostics, setup and switching by multi-part users. For pushbutton control, the Jaguar 3 offers 3 styles of local or remote panels.
