This PT-2081 receives, equalizes, and reclocks up to 8 SDI inputs, perfectly switches the desired input to SDI
equipped monitors or receivers. The switch supports both HD/SD-SDI bit rates, and the re-transmitted quality is guaranteed.
Through RS-232, IR remote, or front panel push button, the control of the SDI switch becomes versatile and easier.
PT-2081 offers the most convenient and cost effective means for swift switch and duplication of high quality SDI in the
market.
Features
zHD/SD-SDI Switch
zUp to 8 equalized & re-timing SDI inputs
