1. INTRODUCTION
The 16 by 4 3G-SDI Matrix allows SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI signals to
be shown on SDI displays while ensuring high bit rates of 2.970 Gbit/s
to give you fast signal transmission without signal loss. For professionals
this means that it is now easier to switch sixteen 3G-SDI signals and split
it up to four SDI signal outputs. Further, with remote, on panel keys and
RS-232 control functions, these ease users with multi-controls over the
device.
2. APPLICATIONS
• Video broadcasting switching display
• Professional video program display
• Film studios program monitoring
• Video program switching display
3. PACKAGE CONTENTS
• 16 by 4 3G-SDI Switcher
• Remote Control (CR-101)
• 5V/2.6A DC power adaptor
• Operation Manual
4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Input connects with SDI sources and output connects with SDI displays,
all input/output with SDI cables.
5. FEATURES
• Sixteen 3G-SDI input sources can be selected and split or switch to
four 3G-SDI displays simultaneously
• Operation at 2.970Gb/s, 2.970/1.001Gb/s, 1.485Gb/s, 1.485/1.001Gb/
s and 270Mb/s
• Supports SMPTE 425M (Level A and Level B), SMPTE 424M, SMPTE
292M, SMPTE 259M-C
• Integrated audio de-embedding for a maximum of 8 channels,
48kHz audio

• Connect with other units to extend your signal over long distances
• Equalized and re-clocked
• Supports signal input and output distance of up to 300M for SD
signals, 200M for HD signals and 100M for 3G signals.
NOTE
Cable tested with Belden 1694A. Operating distances may vary if
used with another type of cable.
