Shasta Family Overview
Introduction
The Shasta Family is Sierra Video Systems’ most extensive line of digital video routing
switchers with digital (AES/EBU) or analog audio, setting the standard in mid-sized
switchers for more than a decade. Shasta frames can be populated with limited modules,
providing flexibility for future expansion.
The Shasta family of routing switchers can contain video and audio in one frame or video
in one frame and audio in a separate frame with the frames connected together by a J1
connecting cable. Shasta routing switchers can be video or audio only. Multiple frames
can be connected together (up to 8 levels) under the same Shasta control system. For
multiple frames, only one Shasta serial control module is required.
An optional RS-232/422 serial interface control gives the Shasta extensive control
options. The Shasta family can endure the most demanding of applications.
