The 1 RU 8 x 4 3G-SDI Video Routing Switcher from Matrix Switch has eight inputs and four 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 passes all SDI embedded audio/ancillary data. The switcher supports output mute. Switching 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. 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 built-in button panel provides an additional interface for directly changing the matrix routing state.

Q: 6. Does this monitor have on the back where you can mount it to a monitor arm?

A: Yes. The monitor has VESA mounting capabilities expressed as 75mmx75mm, as well as 100mmx100mm.

Q: 7. Does this have a blue only calibration mode?

A: Delvcam 17.3" 1080p 3G-SDI/HDMI Rackmount LCD Monitor does allow you to adjust the color temperature, and you can create a "blue only" color temp by adjusting settings, there isn't a blue-only calibration mode per se with this monitor. You would need to remove the red and green from the image manually to achieve a blue-only image.

Q: 8. Hello, I would like to know if is it noisy? I have to use it on set. Thank's

A: The matrix switcher does not make a lot of noise.

Q: 9. Are the Multiview outputs independent or provide the same output? Can SDI 1 display different layout as SDI 2 & HDMI?

A: The SDI and HDMI outputs of the AVMATRIX 16-Channel 3G-SDI Multiviewer and Switcher (1 RU) indicate that they would all output the same Multiview image.

Q: 10. When in "switcher" mode, what does the multiview output do? Is it possible to use this as an SDI router while also having a 10 input multiview?

A: When in switcher mode you would not have access to the Multiview output of the AVMATRIX 16-Channel 3G-SDI Multiviewer and Switcher. It would not be used as a multiviewer if you are using it in switcher mode.
