3 --- System Control Overview PESA Routing Systems Offer Amazing Versatility - PESA routers can adapt to a wide variety of installation environments and applications, and allow easy system expansion to meet future requirements. In many applications signal transport requirements for a facility may be met with a single router frame; while others require multiple video routers for transporting large numbers of signals or various signal formats, a DRS audio router to complement the video router or incorporate various PESA small-scale routers in conjunction with a large Cheetah router. Whatever the requirement, PESA routers are perfectly suited for system integration and expansion. Simple Control for An Entire System - Regardless of size or number of system components, PESA router installations function under a single System Controller to coordinate and oversee operation of the entire system. In the Cheetah family the core control system components are the System Controller hardware/software, individual Frame Controllers contained in each router frame, a host PC to run the controller software graphical user interface (GUI) application; plus remote control panels, or a third party controller interface as needed for an individual installation. PESA Routing Control (PRC) Bus Architecture PESA System Controllers communicate with Cheetah Matrix Frame Controllers and PESA small router products, such as the Ocelot and Cougar, over the PRC bus. This proprietary serial bus protocol eases installation of multiple router frames by allowing a single control bus for all components you can even daisy-chain the frames from a single controller connection. Programming an entire system is easy using the GUI software included with the system controller hardware. Ethernet Connectivity Ethernet connectivity between system components allows command and control functions over a facility network, or a local intranet. Networking capability greatly reduces cabling requirements and allows more efficient communications between all system components. Any computer on the facility network running the Windows operating system can serve as a system host and become a control point for the router installation. PESA s PERC System Controller and DRS Audio Router incorporate Ethernet connectivity. A Controller for Every Application PERC - PESA s PERC System Controller is bilingual it speaks both PRC and Ethernet connectivity for use with all PESA routers including DRS Audio Router installations. PERC is a high-end system controller that enhances the functionality and feature sets of the PRO while adding networking capability over a standard / Ethernet protocol. PRO - The PRO system controller communicates with other system components using the PRC bus protocol, and is an economical, yet full-featured choice for PESA large and medium scale video router installations. In-Frame Mounting - The hardware portion of either system controller is a plug-in circuit card, and all Cheetah video routers offer mounting slots for both primary and redundant cards. Mounting the controller card in the video frame saves rack space and simplifies installation. Power is derived from router power distribution and all system controller connection ports, such as remote control panel buses and the PRC bus for system expansion are available on the rear panel of the router frame. Stand-Alone Mounting - Many router installations do not include a Cheetah video router, or in some applications it may be desirable to have the system controller located external to the router frame. For those facilities, PESA offers both the PRO and PERC controllers in a rack frame with built-in power supply. Each frame supports two controller cards for full system redundancy. All connection ports are available through rear panel connectors. Versatile Control Options - PESA offers a large variety of remote control panels for use with either system controller; plus we offer a selection of protocol converters that allow PESA routing products to be controlled by virtually any third party control system. Our ClikControl application offers TCP/IP control software that allows virtually any PESA router installation to be controlled from anywhere in the world over the internet. Incremental Add/Edit - PESA's PERC Controller gives you the ability to make limited modifications to the router configuration file during normal system operation. We call this feature Incremental Add/Edit, and with it you can add or modify source and destination entries, make changes to many configuration key lists and add or modify remote control panel lists and data. Configuration changes you make with Incremental Add/Edit are written to system controller memory and remain a part of the on-board configuration until the file is re-loaded or further modified. Providing the Tools Necessary to Do the Job - PESA's System Controllers provide the facility engineer all the tools necessary to build a flexible, intuitive, and scalable control system no matter what the environment. User-friendly control application software provides graphical configuration menus that enhance system configuration and control panel programming. Easy to follow displays and straight-forward pull down menus guide you through system setup. Feature setups such as matrix partitioning, tie-line configurations, and multiple frame installations can be done in real time without taking the router off-line. All control panels are fully user programmable and easily customized to meet virtually any system application.

6 --- PESA Controllers - Advanced Features Advanced Signal Management for Demanding Applications Both the PRO and PERC control systems offer high level control and signal management over your entire router installation through an intuitive GUI interface for all user interaction. Anyone familiar with software applications running under the Microsoft Windows operating system will feel right at home with PESA s user-friendly control applications. PESA system controllers have all the features you would expect, and much more, with advanced matrix management, signal handling and diagnostic capabilities. Tieline Management A tieline is a linkage between levels of control that allows an input on one matrix level to be available to connect to outputs on another matrix level. Tielines offer a significant advantage with the ability to make all sources on a router available through a specific physical connection between dissimilar matrix signal types. For example, tielines are a simple way to connect remote matrices together, allowing the system to be treated as one large multi-format system. Once a tieline has been setup, it becomes a dedicated interconnect and may then be used by any assigned source. The GUI control menu provides an easy-to-manage grid representation for tielines allowing quick status and administrative override capabilities. Virtual Matrix Mapping Virtual Matrix Mapping is a software configurable method of setting logical crosspoint definitions within a physical matrix. Using Virtual Matrix Mapping crosspoints can be assigned on an as-needed basis. One physical matrix can contain more than one virtual matrix. A specific application for Virtual Matrix Mapping would be to create sources and destinations only on switching levels where they are actually used. s which are not used are available to create other sources and destinations, thereby maximizing use of the matrix. Further flexibility is provided by allowing sources to share inputs. Matrix Breakup/Segmentation For systems requiring non-traditional video such as RGB, Y/C, YPbPr, and other multi-level signal formats, PESA controllers allow the router to be segmented into smaller matrices. As an example, a single Cheetah X frame can be configured as up to four X routers for different signal formats. Salvo The Salvo function allows users to change crosspoints on multiple destinations from a single Take operation. Advanced configuration parameters for Source,, and s can be setup to simplify pushbutton operations when simultaneous crosspoint switches must be taken together. PESA controllers allow the user to easily configure up to Salvos ( for the PRO) through the Salvo setup command. Easy to navigate selection boxes offer the ability to point-and-click or drag-and-drop for multiple selections. Remote Control Panel Configuration Software control panel menus allow you to setup panel configuration information such as source/destination assignments, addressing, and lock/protect functions. Each type of remote control panel has its own graphical panel setup menu to easily select and identify which button assignments are given. Each panel configuration menu allows you to choose settings for panel specifics, access listing, data key definitions, and salvo definitions. Panel configurations for similar type panels can be duplicated by a simple mouse click and shared data key listings can be shared between different panels using a copy and paste command. The Window allows you to check status on several different control aspects of the control system. Along the top of the main menu screen, Icons are located to select Matrix, Tieline, s, Salvos, Communications, and other diagnostic windows. Information shown in each window automatically updates as changes occur, providing immediate feedback as to the integrity and health of the router system. Diagnostics Diagnostic functions enable the user to obtain crosspoint readback and matrix control status, as well as perform diagnostics on a selected matrix. Features like readback and confidence status verify the operation of the matrix control to the physical crosspoint. Other functions of diagnostics include All Call, Diagonals, and Physical Switching.

7 Remote Control Panels --- PESA offers a wide variety of remote control panels that afford users easy access to switching functions through the PRO or PERC controllers. Control panels communicate with either system controller over a serial data bus called the PESA Remote Control Panel (RCP) bus. Each controller allows up to four RCP bus branches, and each branch allows multiple remote control panels to be daisy-chained for easy installation. Panels range from a simple push-button configuration to a complete status display control panel that allows multi-level, multi-bus operation. Monitor display panels are available for monitor and remote station labeling. Our port expanders allow the addition of up to branches of the PESA Router Control (PRC) Bus or the serial remote control panel (RCP) bus. RCP X/Y Panels PESA s line of X/Y remote control panels includes a full range of features to accommodate virtually any user requirements. Most panels can be configured for single bus or full X-Y control, making them extremely user friendly; and all panels in the series are completely programmable through the system controller GUI application.
