Product Notes

Octaire fixed matrix switchers are designed for large, analog, high performance applications. The configuration for an Octaire system (whether single enclosure or multi-enclosure) is set at the factory. Octaire 4 RU enclosures each route one signal type. Four enclosure types, each handling a single signal, support all of the system combinations listed in the previous tables.

Enclosures

Standard video enclosure (quantity 1) – supports a composite video signal

Standard video enclosures (quantity 2) – support a Y/c signal (Y in one and c in the other)

Ultra-wideband enclosure (quantity 3) – supports a single component of a three-component (HDTV) signal

Ultra-wideband enclosures (quantity 3) – support an “R,” “G,” or “B” component of an RGBHV signal

Digital sync enclosures (quantity 2) – support an HV sync signal (H in one and V in the other) Audio enclosure (quantity 1) – supports a stereo audio signal
