Details

Extron SW4 12G HD-SDI (part number 60-1683-02) is the same 4x2 SDI-to-12G-SDI switching platform as the 60-1683-01, listed under a separate Extron stock number.

Four BNC inputs auto-detect and lock onto any SDI generation from legacy SDI through 12G-SDI, switching to two simultaneous BNC outputs with automatic re-clocking. Resolution support runs up to 4096x2160 at data rates as high as 11.88 Gbps, and automatic cable equalization compensates for up to -30 dB of signal loss on longer cable runs. Control is handled over a single RS-232 port using Extron's Simple Instruction Set.

Key Capabilities
