Smart 32 control panels provide the following capabilities: 

 

All-level, audio-follow-video (AFV) switching 

 

Breakaway switching on up to 17 switching levels allowing video only, audio only and complex 
multi-level breakaways 

 

Destination protect and lock features 

 

Key function assignments and labels for system resources configurable through Cattrax

In PESA router family architecture, the core control system components are:  

 

System controller hardware/software, 

 

Individual frame controllers contained in each router frame,  

 

Host PC to run the control software,  

 

Remote control panels, such as the Smart 32, or 

 

Third party controller interface as needed for an individual installation. 

 
Cheetah video router frames are equipped with a frame controller module called the Matrix Frame 
Controller that communicates with the PERC3000 system controller over an Ethernet network. When a 
DRS audio router is included in the routing system, the PERC1000 Frame Controller used in each DRS 
DXE frame also communicates via Ethernet with the PERC3000 controller. Ethernet connectivity 
allows command and control functions over a facility network, reduces cabling requirements and allows 
efficient communications between all system components. 

Many PESA router products such as the Jaguar, Ocelot and Cougar, and some third party protocol 
converter devices, communicate with the system controller through a PESA proprietary serial bus 
protocol called the PESA Routing Control Bus, or simply the PRC bus.   

Typical PESA routing installations include a variety of remote control panels that allow users control 
access to the switch matrix. In PESA system architecture, remote control panels communicate with the 
system controller through either an Ethernet port or a proprietary serial bus protocol called the PESA 
Remote Control Panel bus, or simply the RCP bus. Remote panels using the RCP bus, such as the suite 
of Cheetah RCP panels, can communicate with the PERC3000 controller using the optionally available 
RCP Panel Server peripheral. Ethernet panels such as the Smart 32 can communicate directly with the 
PERC3000 controller. 

Regardless of size or number of system components, or number of frame controllers, PESA router 
installations typically function under a single system controller to coordinate and oversee operation of 
the entire system. The PERC3000 system controller is capable of supervising multiple frame controllers 
allowing control of the entire system by a common set of control devices. Figure 2-3 illustrates a typical 
PERC3000 controller installation using a mix of PRC-based devices, Ethernet control devices and 
remote control panels using the PESA RCP control bus.
