Panacea Lite Routing Switcher Series xvii Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual Safety Carefully review all safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to this product or any products connected to it. You will find a complete list of safety precautions in Appendix A.
The Panacea Lite series consists of dual- or single-format routing switchers with the capability to meet the multiple format signal switching requirements of today’s market. Panacea Lite routing switchers are available in a 1RU frame size. The frame architecture provides both front and rear rack attachment capabilities, which allows for complementary front-racked local control in the same rack space, as well as more flexible systemization.
The P12×1-VL submodule is only available for the P-12×1V and the P-12×1VA2 routing switchers. The standard Panacea Lite frame includes a universal AC power input, a coaxial (X-Y) control port, a looping sync input, a serial communications and control submodule (P12×1-SP), and an audio signal adapter (P12×1-DTB). Dual outputs are provided.
Panacea Lite Routing Switcher Series Installation, Configuration, and Operation Manual Features The Panacea Lite series comes in a 1RU frame size only (see Figure 1-2). Table 1-1 provides dimensions, module and signal capacity, and standard equipment, for the P-12×1 1RU frame size.
