High density, scalable architectureThe NVISION 8256-Plus Enterprise Class digital/analog video router is readily expandable from 256 x 256 to 512 x 512, making it ideal for medium-to-large sized broadcast and post-production facilities with growing routing requirements. A single 22RU frame supports up to 256 x 256, and a second frame can be interconnected to grow the system up to 512 x 512 (non-blocking).
Linear expansion reduces total cost of ownershipThis expansion to 512 x 512 is achieved simply by adding the appropriate front plug-in modules. Linear expansion eliminates costly, space consuming external input distribution fan-outs, and output secondary switching altogether. It also removes the inherent termination problems of external passive splitters and combiners. The result is greater system signal integrity, with fewer signal errors and bigger loss budgets. High density packaging also maximizes the available rack space and simplifies the installation, without sacrificing functionality.
Multi-format flexibilityThe NVISION 8256-Plus supports 3Gbps, HD, SD, and analog video signals in either 525 or 625 line formats. Each input and output module has 16 inputs and outputs to provide a low failure block. The 3Gbps support provides an upward migration path for high-bandwidth requirements like 1080p/60.
The router can accept any mix of digital/analog input and output modules. Analog input signals are decoded and converted to SDI with 10-bit resolution. Analog output modules convert and encode digitally switched SDI signals to analog with 10-bit resolution. This integrated conversion reduces costs, simplifies installation, and minimizes the rack space.
Unique fault-tolerant designThe NVISION 8256-Plus router is designed for reliability, fault tolerance and redundancy. All input and output modules, power supplies, controllers, and fans are front removable and hot-swappable. No rear cables need to be removed for servicing or maintenance. Additionally, power supplies are fully 1-on-1 redundant with continuous load sharing between the supplies.
Powerful router control Field proven in hundreds of installations worldwide with millions of hours of continuous operation, the NVISION router control systems are ideal for mission critical applications. Designed to grow with your needs, the router control system offers a full complement of user interface options, along with full redundancy, and an easy-to-use Java based configuration editor.
The remote control panels include highly configurable hardware and virtual control panels. They provide all the features, functions and redundancy essential to address a broad range of applications, from the smallest television station to the largest uplink and origination centers.
