Link Electronics 8 x 4 HD/SDI Video Routing Switcher with Analog Stereo Audio

Over the years, Adorama has been a trusted source for high-quality, durable, and reliable electronics. Our Innovation series of routing switchers, including the 8x4 HD/SDI Video Routing Switcher with Analog Stereo Audio, is no exception. This versatile switcher is designed to auto-sense HD or SDI video signals, ensuring the correct format is provided on each output.

The 8x4 HD asynchronous video and analog stereo audio are housed in a compact 1RU frame with a single power supply, making it a user-friendly and space-efficient solution for your video routing needs. Its modular design allows for easy expansion, with separate plug-in modules for 8x4 and 8x8 video. You can also add 8x4 and 8x8 audio later by simply plugging in the desired type of audio module.

The switcher features two front load slots for power supplies, with one supply coming as standard. The second slot can be used for a redundant power supply option, providing an extra layer of reliability. True load power monitoring with remote indicators is included for both power supplies, ensuring optimal performance.

For remote control, the switcher comes with a standard computer hardware-based Ethernet 10Base2 single coax connection. Thanks to Link Electronics' unique 'control panel cradle', model CR100, local control panels can be easily moved to the 10Base2 remote network and vice versa.

The switcher also offers a wide selection of AFV, breakaway, and X-Y local and/or remote control panels. It includes a built-in RS232 user serial port, with a simple and flexible protocol. Vertical interval switching is referenced to an external input, adding to its versatility.

In summary, the 8x4 HD/SDI Video Routing Switcher with Analog Stereo Audio is a reliable, high-quality, and versatile solution for routing and switching multiple video sources to a single display or multiple displays. Its variety of interfaces, including audio, BNC, RS-232, SDI, and wire terminals, ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices and systems.
