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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this mount to a sound equipment rack?

A: Yes, the MuxLab 4x4 4K60 HDMI Matrix Switch ships with rack mount ears included. The included ears allow mounting in standard 19" racks.

Q: 2. Does this support combining audio streams from multiple sources and outputting over a single output?

A: You are able to route audio signals from the HDMI inputs to the HDMI outputs on the Kramer 8x4 4K Matrix. However, it will not mix audio signals from several inputs to one output.

Q: 3. Is there an HDMI version of this?

A: The XD44L does not have an HDMI interface. There are a few ways we could do this. If you found, and I'm not sure they exist, a HDMI/SFP transceiver you could use our MSC-FS44FL. You could use the MSC-FS44FL with separate Transmit and Receive module, but that would reduce your effective capacity to a 2x2. http://www.matrixswitchcorp.com/products/MSC-FS44FL/ An MSC-XDM1000L would do what you need, but might be a little overkill. This is a modular unit and could be configured to any I/O that you might need. http://www.matrixswitchcorp.com/products/MSC-XDM1000L/ Thank you for considering Matrix Switch Corp. Let us know how we can help you further.

Q: 4. What does the switch from 1 input to the next look like? is it a nice cut or does it go blue flashy flashy to resync then swith etc?

A: Although MuxLab 4x2 4K60 HDMI Matrix switch is not a seamless switcher, it does a quick cut flash when switching from one input to the other.

Q: 5. is this unit can be control by RS-232?

A: Yes, the Black Box 4K HDMI Matrix Switch (2 x 1) can be controlled using RS-232.

Q: 6. Does this switch support 4k @ 60 Hz, HDR, HDMI 2.0b, and HDCP 2.2?

A: Sorry, this does not have 4K@60P, HDR, HDMI 2.0 or HDCP 2.2. It has HDCP 2.0.

Q: 7. Does this do any upscaling or downscaling?

A: No, the MuxLab 4x4 4K60 HDMI Matrix Switch does not feature video scaling.

Q: 8. This is a synced model? It is seamless switching?

A: This is not a seamless switcher.

Q: 9. Does the software suport saved switch configurations?

A: No, the software used with the AVMATRIX 8 x 8 3G-SDI Matrix Switcher (1 RU) does not list the saved switch.

Q: 10. The vdeo switching Is smooth? It has a Time delay of procesing? Thanks

A: The Freakshow HD 3G-SDI A/B/C/D Switch is not as smooth as a seamless switcher. There is a half frame switch over. It is not a genlocked switcher, but rather a simple production switch.
