12.2 Dual Sirius 850 Frames up to 1152 x 1152 Video
The Sirius 850 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 and expansion can be carried out while the
system is in use.
This section describes what hardware is required to expand an existing single router to a dual
router system. See Figure 139 for a details of the video signal wiring between the routers and
Figure 139 for a diagram of the control interconnections.
Existing Sirius 850 (Frame 1 of 2)
The following extra equipment is required for the existing Sirius 850 frame:
•
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 router, each
5928 provides 24 outputs. see section 12.4 for module details.
•
Up to 24 x 1365 Sirius 850 Video Expansion Output Rear Panels one for each 5928
module fitted. Fitted in the rear of the router, each 1365 is used to connect 24 signals
to the remote Sirius 850 router. The interconnect cables are supplied with the rear
panels. see section 12.6 for module details.
•
Up to 24 x expandable video output modules (5938, 5949 and 5925 as required) one
expandable video output module for each 5928 fitted in the remote router. Fitted in the
output module slots of the router, they accept (via their rear panels and interconnect
cables) the expansion outputs from the 1365 rear panels in the remote router. see
section 12.3 for 5938, section 11.3 for 5949 and appendix C.4.3 for 5925 module
details.
Second Sirius 850 (Frame 2 of 2)
The second Sirius 850 frame must be equipped with the expansion modules as listed above
as well as the usual input modules, crosspoint modules, etc.
Note:
•
The 1365 expansion cables cannot be connected to the 5926 output module.
•
The 5926 module can be directly replaced by the 5938 module as it uses the same
rear panels.
