The Extron SW4 3G HD-SDI is a multi-rate SDI digital video switcher. It
is a convenient and economical solution for switching up to four HD-SDI
signals as well as embedded audio, ancillary ID and metadata information.
The switcher automatically recognizes and adapts to common SMPTE
and ITU serial digital data rates, including 270 Mbps SDI, 1.485 Gbps
HD-SDI, and 2.97 Gbps 3G-SDI. The switcher is housed in a compact, 1U
high, half-rack width metal enclosure that is suitable for rack mounted or
mobile applications. The SW4 3G HD-SDI is ideal for applications where
multi-rate HD-SDI digital video signals must be switched then sent over
long cable runs.
fEaTuRES
n Supports data rates up to 3G-SDI
n Input data rate reporting – Reads video signals on each input and
reports recognized data rates on the front panel as well as via RS-232.
This provides visual and control system feedback of common SDI and
HD-SDI input data rates.
n Automatic input equalization – Compensates for attenuation and
distortion on the incoming signal and automatically equalizes cables in
length up to a maximum of 500 feet (150 m).
n Automatic output reclocking – Reshapes and restores timing of
digital video signals at each output, eliminating high frequency jitter
and provides A/V system designers with additional headroom when
connecting multiple devices.
n Multiple control options – RS-232, front panel, and autoswitching
simplifies and enhances integration and day-to-day operation
n Dual buffered outputs – Allow for simultaneous viewing and
recording of the selected input signal, eliminating the cost of a
separate distribution amplifier.
n Internal universal power supply – The 100-240VAC,
50/60 Hz, international power supply provides worldwide power
compatibility.
