VX-8500 Video and Audio Matrix Routing Switchers use the latest technology to provide excellent performance at low cost. They combine a good choice of matrix sizes and switching levels with wide-ranging control options, and are housed in ultra-slim rackmounting cases.  Video signals up to 200MHz and audio up to 50kHz can be routed, easily surpassing broadcast requirements and the demands of computer-generated video presentations. Switching takes place in the vertical interval, with audio follow video...

SDI 8x8 Serial Digital Interface Routing Switcher.

Input Equalization

  • Reclock to 1 of 4 data rates
  • 8 or 10-bit SDI
  • SMPTE 259M
  • RS232 control
  • Full LED display
  • Store/Recall pre-set patterns
  • Non-volatile memory

Applications:

  • Broadcast
  • Production
  • Duplications
  • Work Stations

The SDI8x8 matrix routing switcher accepts and reclocks up to 8 sources to 8 destinations of 8 or 10-bit serial digital video with or without embedded audio.  Housed in the Knox 3U ultra-thin profile chassis, these SDI routers are compatible with various SDI standards including ITU601, SMPTE259M, D1, D2, and D3 at data rates of 143, 177, 270 and 360 Mbps with input equalization in excess of 200 meters. 

SDI routing switchers are controlled from either the front panel pushbuttons or via the RS232 port.  Front panel LEDs confirm valid data locking at all times.  Each valid SDI input signal is indicated by an “Input Carrier Detect” LED.  For each output with a valid input signal, another LED indicates one of four data rates.  Crosspoint patterns may be stored for later recall.  All current and stored patterns are backed up in non-volatile memory.

  • Breakaway Stereo Audio
  • 350 MHz
  • Manual and RS232 Control
  • Available with up to 5-channels of video

Applications:

  • Teleconferencing
  • AV Presentation
  • Media Retrieval
  • Non-Linear editing suites
  • Video Monitoring
  • Live Video Feeds

The VX8500 series vertical interval routing switchers are high-performance audio/video units in thin profile 3RU rackmount chassis. They are configured for 16, 12, 8, or 4 sources to either 1 or 2 destinations.
 


They are active switchers that accept and route almost any 1 volt NTSC/PAL, RGB, RGBS, RGBHV video source including off-the-air and non-timebase corrected signals.

The VX8500 accepts and routes mono or stereo unbalanced audio up to 2 volts p-p. Video and audio sources can be routed independently; they need not have the same destinations.

Easy manual operation from front panel push-buttons or routing commands can be sent from a computer via RS232 interface.

…. Also available in 5-channel version for RGBHV and VGA routing.
