The 800 Series Routing Switchers are wide
bandwidth vertical interval switchers designed for
professional video production facilities. The
compact design of Link’s routing switchers makes
them an essential part of any facility.
Packaged in a 19” rack mountable chassis, the
switchers are supplied with a single front-loaded
power supply. An optional redundant power
supply is available. High quality front panel push
buttons are used for selection of inputs and
outputs.
Remote control panels are interconnected with
standard Ethernet 10Base2 single coax
connections. RS-232 is provided through a
standard D-sub connector. Panels can be set to
control a single output bus or the entire matrix.
The Link Switcher’s flexibility is unmatched in the
industry. Modular construction offers unique
flexibility to the user, and provides an easy means
of adding additional features or upgrading to digital
modules. Power supplies are accessible from the
front of the unit and may be easily installed or
removed. SDI switching may easily be converted
to analog by adding field installable modules.
Industry standard BNC connectors are used for
video inputs and removable 3-Pin connectors are
used for stereo audio inputs and outputs.
