Chapter 1 – Introduction 1
Chapter 1 – Introduction
General
This manual provides instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the PESA Tiger video
routing switcher.
Safety Warnings
Safety warnings, and other important information, are emphasized in three ways:
WARNING
Warning statements identify conditions or practices that could
result in personal injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
Caution statements identify conditions or practices that could
result in damage to equipment.
NOTE
Notes add emphasis to information that is important for the
correct installation, operation, or maintenance of the
equipment.
Product Description
Each Tiger video routing switcher can switch 144 inputs to 144 outputs and may contain a mix of both analog
and digital components. Multiple chassis (both audio and video) may be connected into a system operated by a
single controller.
Inputs for two different vertical sync inputs allow the switching of two different signal formats in the same
chassis. Composite sync, black burst, and standard analog signals in either NTSC or PAL formats may be used.
All Tiger video routing switchers offer alarm support, switch confirmation, block checking, and power-out-of-
range indicators.
Optional equipment includes:
1. An analog or digital output monitor control board. The output monitor control board controls an
internal, 144x1 switching matrix which can be used to monitor any output in the frame downstream of
the last amplifier and switch circuit. In a multi-frame system, one output monitor control board must be
installed in each frame containing signals to be monitored.
2. A system controller with full software diagnostic capability.

Shipping Damage Inspection
Immediately upon receipt, all shipping containers should be inspected for damage caused in transit. If any
damage is noted, save all packing material and contact both PESA and the carrier as soon as possible.
Unpacking
CAUTION
This equipment contains static sensitive devices. A grounded
wrist strap and mat should be used when handling the internal
circuit cards.
Carefully unpack the equipment and compare the parts received against the packing list and Table 1. If any
parts appear to be missing, please contact PESA immediately.
Installation Location
WARNING
For safety reasons, this equipment must be located near the
socket-outlet or power strip so that the AC line cord plugs are
easily accessible (Ref. EN60950:1992 §1.7.2)
This equipment is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch equipment rack located in an environment
conforming to the specifications shown in Chapter 1. Each unit should be located as close as possible to its
associated equipment to minimize cable runs.
Consideration should be given to the connection of this equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
possible overloading could have on overcurrent protection circuits and supply wiring. Refer to the nameplate
ratings when addressing this concern.

Note 1: This item is optional or may be ordered in varying quantities. Please consult your purchase
order to verify that you have received the correct quantity.
Note 2: Although each mainframe may be populated with both analog and digital boards, only one
output monitor control board (analog or digital) can be installed per mainframe. Output monitor
crosspoint boards (analog or digital) must be also be installed to support the output monitor control
board selected.
