Product Overview
SAM continues to lead the way in video and audio signal routing with its innovative Sirius 800
router range. The large-scale, multi-format routers incorporate many technological firsts, the
Sirius 800 routers offer multi-format operation up to 3 Gb/s in one frame.
The Sirius 800 routers support a range of different configurations based on a common module
format. The router range is made up of the non-expandable Sirius 830 and Sirius 840 routers
and the field expandable Sirius 850 router.
The Sirius 850 can be equipped as 576 x 1152 in a single frame or is field expandable up to
1152 x 1152 video (dependant on input/output card configuration) by linking two Sirius 850
routers together using multi-way cables. No other external splitters or combiners are required.
