Tahoe Family Overview
Introduction
The Tahoe Family is Sierra Video Systems’ most extensive line of analog routing
switchers, setting the standard in mid-sized switchers for more than a decade. Tahoe
frames can be populated with limited modules, providing flexibility for future expansion.
Tahoe 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. Tahoe routing switchers can be video or audio only. Multiple frames can be
connected together (up to 8 levels) under the same Tahoe control system. For multiple
frames, only one Tahoe serial control module is required.
An RS-232/422 serial interface control and a RS-485 control panel network that can
accept up to 64 panels on a simple twisted pair gives the Tahoe extensive control
options. With battery backed-up RAM protection of all personality and crosspoint
information, 256 salvo registers capable of holding 800 or more crosspoints, the Tahoe
family can endure the most demanding of applications.
