Yosemite Family Overview
Introduction
The Yosemite Family of large-sized matrix routing switchers provides exceptional performance in
compact frame designs ideal for Broadcast, CATV, Industrial, and Government applications.
Ranging from 64x64 to 128x128 Inputs / Outputs, frames can be expanded from 32x32 up to
128x256 and are able to house both analog and digital video modules in the same frame.
Optional redundant power supplies and control processors are available with the standard front-
loading and hot-swappable I/O modules. Yosemite
systems switch multiple analog and digital signal formats,
including AES/EBU synchronous or asynchronous audio,
serial digital video (SDI), monaural or stereo audio,
analog composite video, analog component video, time
code, and machine control. Sierra video’ building-block
module design; based on frame size, different crosspoint
modules, and input / output modules; was specially
applied to the Yosemite Family, providing an array of
configurations.
The Yosemite Family Control System is based our
innovative and time-tested Tahoe Control System,
incorporating many powerful features and numerous
options. The Yosemite three-port controller can be directly interfaced with a wide variety of 12-key
and alphanumeric control panels, as well as supported by third-party control systems.
