Kondor 2
Digital Routing Switcher
|
Through the innovative use of proven technology, the Kondor 2 breaks the technological barriers in the broadcast industry by offering the users the ability to simply and economically move between the 270/360Mb/s domain of Serial Digital video signals into the world of 1.5Gb/s HDTV video processing. The Kondor 2 offers users the ability to mix and match SDI, HDTV and AES/EBU signals - all in the same high density rack frame, efficiently controlled by a dual CPU system housed in a 1RU frame. In addition, users can move from SDI to HDTV eight inputs/outputs at a time – all at nominal cost and minimal router down time. The Kondor 2 maintains Talia’s tradition of unique product design with an attractively designed universal 5RU rack frame designed for low power consumption and maximum thermal efficiency. Multiple frames may be stacked for large configurations. A 5RU frame houses 25 modules including dual plug-in power supply modules (3 slots each). Alternatively, multiple frames may be joined together for larges systems The hinged front door houses the air filter for easy removal and cleaning. Master status LEDS on the front door warn of any alarm conditions, the source of the alarm may be viewed by opening the door to reveal the individual status indicators on each module. At the heart of the Kondor 2 is an advanced 1.5Gb/s matrix core. Using a proven chipset initially developed for the telecommunications industry, Talia engineers have cleverly adapted this technology for the broadcast television industry. The flexibility of the Kondor 2 is the uniquely engineered architecture of replaceable eight-channel I/O cards and the innovative free-form backplane. The family of I/O cards can accept a wide range of both SDI, ASI (270/360Mb/s) and HDTV signals (1.5Gb/s) in either coaxial or optical fibre formats. The ever growing I/O options include PAL/NTSC encoded outputs, dual/single outputs and clocking/non-clocking outputs. The AES/EBU options offer inputs with synchronous clock rate conversion I/O, or more economical non-sync input cards which may be mixed in matrix. The I/O cards convert the signals to and from the internal balanced PECL (Positive Emitter Coupled Logic) domain suitable for switching at bit rates beyond 1.5Gb/s.
