The Kramer Series 16 Sierra Video Systems Lassen refers to a family of professional routing switchers originally developed by Sierra Video Systems and later integrated into Kramer’s product lineup after the companies merged. These routing systems are engineered for broadcast, post-production, and high-end AV environments that require reliable, flexible signal routing with professional-grade performance. The Lassen routers support high-bandwidth video formats and offer extensive control options to fit into modern AV infrastructures.

Models in the Lassen series are built around modular, compact rackmount frames with scalable matrix architectures, allowing numerous inputs to be routed to multiple outputs without signal degradation. Depending on the specific configuration, they can handle SDI, HD-SDI, and composite video, often in combination with balanced analog or digital audio. Designed for demanding production workflows, the units maintain consistent signal integrity and synchronization across all connections.

Control flexibility is a key feature of the Lassen line. Operators can configure and manage routing via front-panel LCD interfaces or remotely using RS-232/422 serial control and IP/Ethernet, with support for third-party control systems and programmable remote panels. This makes them suitable for integrated control rooms, rental/staging operations, or fixed installations where dynamic routing and centralized management are essential.
