3G-SDI Matrix Switcher Boards

OVERVIEW

Key Features
* Automatically adapts to SMPTE and ITU digital video standards for 3G‑SDI, HD‑SDI, and SDI
* Supports data rates from 270 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps
* Optimized for SMPTE 372M dual-link HD-SDI
* Passes embedded audio, ancillary ID and metadata information, and SD/HD-SDTI digital video signals

DESCRIPTION

The SMX Multi-Rate Serial Digital Matrix Switcher Boards are designed for routing multi-rate SDI and HD-SDI serial digital video signals from 19 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps. Two SMX Multi-Rate Serial Digital Matrix Switcher Boards can be used to switch SMPTE 372M dual-link HD-SDI digital video signals. They are available in four I/O sizes: 4x4, 8x4, 8x8, and 16x16.

Features
* Automatically adapts to SMPTE and ITU digital video standards for 3G‑SDI, HD‑SDI, and SDI — Complies with SMPTE 259M, ITU‑R BT.601, SMPTE 292M, and ITU‑R BT.1120 standards. SMX 88 3G‑SDI and SMX 1616 3G‑SDI also support the SMPTE 424M Standard.
* Supports data rates from 270 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps — Supports 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SDI digital video signals.
* Optimized for SMPTE 372M dual-link HD-SDI — Zero skew design pairs adjacent input and output connectors for superb performance with very high data rate signals, even over long distances.
* Passes embedded audio, ancillary ID and metadata information, and SD/HD-SDTI digital video signals — Passes all data allowed within published SMPTE and ITU digital video standards, including embedded audio, ancillary ID and metadata information, and SDTI (SMPTE 305M) and HD-SDTI (SMPTE 348M) digital video signals.
* Input equalization — Equalizes input signals 300 feet (100 m) or more on Extron RG6 or equivalent cable.
* Output reclocking — Reclocks and drives output signals 300 feet (100 m) or more on Extron RG6 or equivalent cable.
* User-selectable reclocking modes — Automatically reclocks SMPTE and ITU standard serial digital video rates. Reclockers can also be set to a signal, predetermined SMPTE/ITU standard data rate for optimum switching performance, or bypassed to allow for switching nonstandard data rates.
* DSVP™ - Digital Sync Validation Processing — Polls inputs and outputs to verify data rates. DSVP then transmits the information to the user through the Ethernet or serial ports on the SMX frame.

When installing this board in an existing SMX Frame, new SMX Frame firmware may be required; contact your Extron technical services representative for more information.
