12.1 Single Sirius 850 Frame up to 576 x 1152 Video
To expand a Sirius 850 router up to 576 x 1152 video (dependant on input/output card
configuration) the following extra modules are required:
•
4 x 5905/5901 Video Crosspoint Modules mounted in upper part of the frame (a fifth
crosspoint module is optional and provides redundancy for the video expansion
crosspoint matrix). see section 10.1 for module details.
•
Up to 24 x 5928 Sirius 850 Standard Video Expansion Output Modules depending on
the number of extra video outputs required. Fitted in the top section of the Sirius 850
frame, each 5928 provides 24 outputs. see section 12.4 for module details.
•
Up to 24 x 1366 Sirius 850 Video HD BNC Output Rear Panels one for each 5928
module fitted. Fitted in the rear of the Sirius 850 frame, each 1366 provides 24 HD
BNC outputs. see section 12.7 for module details.
Video signals from the expansion video crosspoint matrix are passed to the 5928 modules
(destinations 577 to 1152) and the video signals are then output from the 1366 rear panels on
HD BNC connectors.
When 1366 cards are fitted to a Sirius 850 it is then a single frame 576 x 1152 router with no
further expansion capability.

be removed and replaced with 1365 expansion rear panels (see section 12.2 for
details).
