Introduction
The Ponderosa Series Audio routing switchers from Sierra Video are modular for those
applications requiring worry-free performance and mission critical reliability. The advanced
features and performance set it apart from the competition. These include:
 Modular configurations expandable by 32 input and/or 32 output increments
 Compact frame size – 3RU (6464 frame) or 5RU (128128 frame).
 Hot-swappable I/O boards.
 Standard redundant power supplies.
Front-door access to hot-swappable I/O boards allows for field service or matrix reconfiguration.
Serial control is standard in every model.
The Ponderosa analog audio frames populate in increments of 32 on both the inputs and outputs,
and come in two compact sizes: 3RU and 5RU. These frames can be configured to be either
mono or stereo and are set at the factory. For example, the 3RU frame can be ordered to be
either a 64x64 mono or 32x32 stereo audio router. When in the stereo mode, each channel is
independently switchable.
