Alta Pro™

Product Overview :

Alta Pro™ Wideband Routing Switcher pack the most punch of any presentation switcher Sierra Video has ever developed. Alta Pro™ RGBHV and RGB/Y Pb Pr routing switchers offers the highest-available bandwidth in the industry with extremely low crosstalk and a reduced footprint. Alta Pro™ Wideband Routing Switchers employ a single vertically-mounted video board which contains all the signal paths for video routing. Fewer boards mean a simpler, and therefore even more reliable product. Alta Pro™ is housed in a 3RU ( 5.25") frame. Its push-button front control panel consists of 28 backlit buttons and features an LED bar graph display for VU measurements.

Feature, Advantage & Benefit (1) :

600MHz bandwidth (-3dB) fully loaded with extremely low crosstalk. A higher bandwidth will be able to carry the full signal across without compressing or losing the data bits of the original signal source. This will ensures a better image quality and thus a clearer and crisp picture without straining the eyes for details.

Feature, Advantage & Benefit (2) :

Room Grouping allows several inputs grouped and operated independently of other input groups on the routing switcher whilst Matrix Mapping enables the user to use multiple signal types in a single frame, this is like having multiple switchers into ONE. The flexibility in configurations is extremely useful and versatile. This feature is designed for the ease of use for multi-room applications and a value for money as the same routing switcher can be used for different signal formats.

Feature, Advantage & Benefit (3) :

Expand on Demand™ allows you to instantly upgrade your Alta Pro™ on site without any physical modifications to the existing frame. This is easy for future expansion without the need to do away with the old routing switcher to a bigger size
