for those applications requiring worry-free performance and mission critical reliability. The

Full range of Sierra control hardware and software components, including remote control
panels, IP, and RS-232/422 serial control. Supported by all major third party control
systems.
Front-door access to hot-swappable video I/O boards allows for field service or matrix
reconfiguration. The power supplies are also hot-swappable, guarantee maximum in-service time
and minimal interruptions. IP (Ethernet) control via TCP/IP socket connection and RS-232/422
serial control is standard in every model.
For applications requiring companion audio, the Ponderosa routing switcher is compatible with
our time-tested line of audio routing switchers. Sierra Video’ advanced SCP line of programmable
control panels manage the routing system along with our “built in” MediaNav™ router control
software featuring the most intuitive router interface in the industry.
