This field-proven product has what no other switching manufacture can deliver. It provides a solid-state high performance, high frequency configuration that is the most dense available. Perfectly suited for audio, video or other types of signals ranging from DC to 125MHz,  the S2560E is specifically designed for the system professional demanding high signal performance with small compact packaging, and exceptional affordability. It is available in either analog or digital (422) configurations.

Unlike the System S2561E or S2562E, the S2560E has balanced inputs and outputs, not single-ended.

Selection of similar units
System Signal Path and Type Frequency Applications
S2560E Differential, analog and digital -422 DC-125MHz Low-level differential analog without adapters, high level analog with adapters, integrated digital 422 I/O optional
S2561E Singled-ended, analog (or digital TTL with adapter panels) DC-125MHz Low-level single-ended  analog without adapters, high level analog with adapters, optional TTL (>50Mbps) I/O with adapters
S2562E High performance single-ended analog DC-2MHz Low-level single-ended instrumentation analog

New features for the "E" version are:

  • Newly designed hot-swap high capacity power section
  • Dual AC input connectors
  • Enhanced system firmware features

 

The S2560E provides a host of features including a field expandable configuration from 32 inputs and 32 outputs, to a full 256 inputs and 256 outputs in a single chassis 5RU chassis (8.75" high), and up to a 1024x1024 with 16 units. Inputs and outputs are independently expandable in increments of 32 channels by simply installing a module. The system recognizes the new module and responds accordingly. Using multiple units and the correct adapter panels to interconnect, the S2560E can be configured to a full 1024x1024 configuration within just 80RU total, or less than two full standard equipment racks.

The system can deliver the high density due to the fact that all signal I/O is via high performance SCSI II connectors with 16 differential channels per connector.  For some applications, the user can connect directly to these connectors (audio and '422 or data applications). For most other applications, including video or similar applications, a number of external connector adapter panel assemblies are available for the user to interface with. This includes BNC, RCA, RJ-45, D-Sub and many others. This system also allows the system engineer to mix and match panel assemblies as applications change, plus it provides the ability to locate the system I/O (or a portion of it) either on the front of the equipment rack, the rear of the equipment rack, or located some distance from the actual switching drawer.

The S2560E is available in analog or digital formats.  The analog version allows the system to be used for large audio or video type applications, while the digital format provides a method to switch digital data formats such as telemetry data (differential clock and data). The system also provides full non-blocking and full fanout of signals allowing the user to route a given input signal to one, many, or up to all outputs without signal degradation, loss or input loading.
