Route SDI signals using pluggable SFP modules with the 3G-SDI to Fiber Optic 4x4 Mini Switcher with 4 x SFPTX-F Modules from Matrix Switch. Switch any input to multiple outputs without restriction and control the unit using RS-232 protocol. Up to 10 presets can be stored and easily recalled, and SDI-embedded audio is supported. The bundle includes four SFPTX-F modules and two power supplies, allowing the user to keep one as a backup or use it as redundant power since the unit offers redundant power inputs.

Q: 6. Has anyone measured latency of the SDI version vs the HDMI version on the same camera? Curious if the SDI version has significantly less delay.

A: No it does not. the delay from the camera to the Newtek Spark is almost non existent when compared to the delay that happens when converting a video signal to be sent across a network and the bandwidth limitations of said network. If you purchased both the SDI and HDMI versions and hooked them up to a cameras on the same network you should experience the same delay.
