1.6 Front Panel Lock
The Vega routers are fitted with two captive screws (one on the left of the router and one on
the right, see Figure 1). These captive screws allow the router front panel to be locked and in
normal operation the router must remain locked.
Fig 1. Front Panel Lock (Vega 2U shown)
Important:
• The router must be locked in normal operation to ensure that it complies with safety
standards.
• The risk of non-compliance is with the user if the router is left unlocked in normal
operation.

1.7 Transit Brackets
There are two Transit Brackets in the Vega router that restrain the crosspoint and controller
cards during transit (see Figure 2). These transit brackets must be removed before the Vega
router is powered on.
1. Loosen the captive front panel fastening screws on the left and right of the router
(see Figure 1 on page 14 for details).
2. Open the front panel of the Vega router by pulling it outwards and swinging it down.
3. Loosen but do not remove the four Crosspoint transit bracket screws and slide the
transit bracket to the right to remove it.
4. Tighten the crosspoint transit bracket screws back up again and keep the bracket
somewhere safe in case the Vega router needs transporting in the future.
5. Unscrew the Vega controller card transit bracket screw and remove the transit
bracket. Keep the bracket and screw with the crosspoint card transit bracket in case
the Vega router needs transporting in the future.
6. Close the router front panel.
7. Tighten the captive front panel fastening screws on the left and right of the router
(see Figure 1 on page page 14 for details) to lock the front panel.
8. Refitting the transit brackets for transportation is the reverse of the removal process.

Vega Video Router www.snellgroup.com Product Overview
Issue 2 Rev 2 Page 17 ©2013 Snell Limited
2. Product Overview
Vega is a totally new concept in multi-standard, multi-format SDI switching routers offering a
number of key new benefits. Its unique architecture enables an advanced feature set that
provides much greater flexibility with real advantages over traditional routing platforms.
The Vega routers are available in either a 2U or 4U chassis. The 2U Vega router can be fitted
with up to 96 asymmetric ports and the 4U router can be fitted with up to 192 asymmetric
ports. Both routers are fully asymmetric with, optional, dual PSU, dual crosspoint, dual
controller and dual buffer card redundancy (buffer cards in 4U router only).
The asymmetric design of the Vega makes it an extremely flexible router solution allowing for
configurations from 1 input to All outputs through to All inputs to 1 output and anything in
between.

Vega Video Router www.snellgroup.com Product Overview
Issue 2 Rev 2 Page 18 ©2013 Snell Limited
2.1 Features and Benefits
• Total asymmetric signal routing with each signal port independently configurable as
an input or output.
• No input/output wastage which will often negate the need for a larger router if
using a symmetrical router.
• Mix and Match video signal types including; 3Gbit & 1.5Gbit HD, SD, ASI.
• A single router copes with all of the standard video signal types.
• Coaxial Copper and/or fiber connectivity using SFP fiber and SFP coaxial HD-BNC
options.
• Mix short and very long distances, bridges all boundaries
• 12 Port bi-directional HD-BNC coaxial rear module available.
• Lower cost giving an improved return on investment for non-fibered equipment.
• Extensive protection and redundancy options with dual crosspoints, dual controllers,
dual PSUs and dual buffer cards giving a high level of protection. (buffer cards on 4U
versions only)
• No loss of revenue from ‘out of service’ or ‘down time’.
• Comprehensive set of ‘soft’ and/or ‘hard’ control panel options.
• Intuitive software-based ‘plug and play’ control and monitoring system and/or
1U and 2U control panels.
• Ultra compact router frame with up to 50% more ports than a conventional BNC
router.
• Future system expansion or simply ‘no need for a bigger router’.
Note:
4U Vega Router Only: Two Controller cards and two Buffer cards are required to maintain
full redundancy protection of the control system should either a controller card or a buffer
card fail.
