Each Tiger audio routing switcher can switch 144 dual-channel inputs to 144-dual channel outputs, or be
configured as a 288x144 or 144x288 single-channel routing switcher. Each chassis may contain a mix of both
analog and digital components, and multiple chassis (both audio and video) may be connected into a system
operated by a single controller.
Each channel has its own vertical sync input to 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 audio 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. Each output monitor control board controls two 144x1
routing switchers 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 controller must be installed in each frame
containing signals to be monitored.
2. A system controller with full software diagnostic capability.

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.

Due to the weight of this equipment, installation or removal
requires at least two persons in order to avoid possible
personal injury or equipment damage. This equipment should
only be installed in a standard 19-inch equipment rack and
only in such a manner as to avoid any tipping hazard from
uneven loading of the rack.
&$87,21
Forced air cooling is provided by fans located within this
equipment. Care should be taken not to block airflow around
these fans.
This equipment is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Sufficient space must be
provided behind the equipment racks to allow for control, signal, and power cables. All panel mounting holes
should be utilized and mounting hardware tightened securely.
Install the equipment into the rack as follows:
1. Insert the panel assembly into the equipment rack and support the bottom of the panel assembly until all
mounting hardware has been installed and properly tightened.
2. Install the bottom two panel mounting screws.
3. Install the top two panel mounting screws.
4. Install any remaining panel mounting screws.
5. Tighten all of the panel mounting screws until they are secure.
,QWHUIDFH&RQQHFWLRQV
The following guidelines should be followed when connecting cables to this equipment.
1. Install the equipment in the rack before connecting cables.
2. All cables should be carefully strain relieved to prevent connector separation.
3. To the extent possible, separate control, signal, and power cables to minimize crosstalk and interference.
4. The liberal use of nylon cable ties to secure cables to the rack is encouraged. This will minimize the
amount of force transmitted to the equipment and help route cables away from hazardous areas.
5. Route cables away from walk areas to avoid creating a safety hazard.
6. The shields of audio signal cables (input and output) should be grounded at one end only.
All interface connections are made at the rear of this equipment as shown in Figure 1 on page 8.

These 3-contact connectors provide the input signal interface. See Figure 3 for an orientation view showing
contact locations.
The INPUT connectors are connected to the audio signal sources with cables constructed with 3-contact
connectors (Part No. 81-9029-0811-0) and shielded, twisted-pair audio cable (Part No. 81-9028-0043-2,
Belden 8451, or equivalent) as shown in Figure 4.
The connector body has an integral strain relief which requires the use of a nylon cable tie (Part No.
