IXS-6000 Series Routing Systems
— the Core Matrix in Your Production System
It has always been important for the broadcast and video production industry to handle a
wide array of signals at the optimal efficiency.
Responding to this, Sony is proud to introduce a new-generation “hybrid” routing system, the
IXS-6000 Series. Comprising two models, the IXS-6700 and IXS-6600, this series can handle not
only SD and HD video signals, but also audio, RS-422A, and time code within a single chassis.
This gives both space- and cost-saving benefits.
The IXS-6000 Series routers are equipped with a common Ethernet interface, allowing a
sophisticated yet easy-to-configure network-based control system to be established.
The well-proven S-BUS interface is also provided to enable easy integration into existing
routing systems. Another advantage is the unique ability to integrate with Sony’s MVS-8000G
and DVS-9000 switchers, bringing a number of great benefits such as bidirectional operational
control, source name exchange, and tally management.
In addition to the wide variety of optional control panels represented by the well-proven
BKS-R1617A Multi-Display Control Unit that can be used with the IXS 6000 series routers,
Sony is also introducing the BKS-R6010 Universal LCD Remote Panel, which is equipped with
LCD buttons for an enhanced level of operability.
Packing these features into a compact chassis, the IXS-6000 Series Routing System is a
cost-effective and smart solution for installation into a broad range of facilities, including
those limited by space.
FEATURES
■ Multi-format Capability;
Hybrid Routing System
■ Control System
• Can handle HD-SDI and SD-SDI, AES/EBU,
analog audio, RS-422A, and time code within
a single chassis (a range of I/O modules are
available to suit)
• Video routing – up to 128 x 136 (IXS-6700)/
64 x 68 (IXS-6600) matrix

■ Compact and Lightweight Design
■ High Reliability
• Compact chassis design:
8RU (IXS-6700)/4RU (IXS-6600)
• Low power consumption:
approx. 550 W* (IXS-6700)/300 W** (IXS-6600)
* 128 x 136 matrix, 1.485-Gb/s video with redundant
• High level of redundancy
– Equipped with main and backup CPU board as
standard
– Equipped with redundant power supply units as
standard (IXS-6700: four units – two for main and two
for backup, IXS-6600: two units – one for main and
power supply and CPU
** 64 x 68 matrix, 1.485-Gb/s video with redundant
power supply and CPU
one for backup)
• Self-diagnostic functions
