The 1 RU 8 x 4 3G-SDI Video Routing Switcher from Matrix Switch has 8 inputs and 4 outputs. It provides re-clocking for standard 3G/HD/SD rates with automatic bypass for non-standard rates between 20 Mb/s and 3 Gb/s and pass all SDI embedded audio/ancillary data. The switcher supports output mute. Switch on vertical sync is provided with the sync reference input with a pass-through connector and provides support for tri-level sync and NTSC/PAL black burst signals. With dual BNCs per SDI output on this switcher, the need for additional distribution amplifiers is often eliminated. The routing switcher provides several options for control and system integration. A built-in webpage interface offers a convenient method for control and configuration using a PC or mobile device (Interactive Demo). In addition to the MASCOT protocol, there is also support for some common 3rd party protocols. Additional control interfaces on this router include USB, RS-485, RS-232, and TCP/IP over the Ethernet interface. Remote Panels can also be used with this router for remote control up to a virtually unlimited distance over TCP/IP. In addition, the switcher features a built-in panel with status lights.
